tgt, hands down.

TGT and Speed dominate.

You called?

XD Thats exactly what I was thinking.

(Btw heroless wins)

If TGT is the top offense now, then what is the best defense to counter it?

Philistines, which have PO, rendering TGT fort useless?  probably

Assyrians, which have AC, which provides decent territory protection?  maybe

Orange demons, which has Gates of Hell and Destrucive Sin?  maybe

Hero-lite "deck-opponent-before attacking" + Abom, which doesn't often rescue until late game, making TGT useless in the first half of the game, and then discards TGT with Abom?  maybe

What else can hold its own against TGT?

I would say that Gates of Hell is the best anti-TGT card in the game, assuming you can get rid of Three Nails. All TGT Heroes have the interesting quality of having states that never get initiative vs. 3/7. So if you use Gates and can pull off the Wandering Spirit/Trembling Demon combo, your souls are unrescuable by TGT heroes.

PO leaves black extremely weak too effectively use it. the enhancements are going to run out unless you're playing a huge defense.

I include King Hezikiah in my TGT deck (which is actually T2)

Orange is good.

Hero-lite is good, and my favorite kind of deck.

Gold is awesomesauce. I use it for the herolite...

The no SA john can play first vs 3/7.

um, nobody is going to use that John...

Valid point. Fixed.

right now my deck has a perfect record against TGT. of course, only one person in our playgroup uses it, and I haven't played them in a long time...but TGT really doesn't effect my deck. go ahead and ignore the imaginary evil characters.

Players aren't going to be happy if speed is suggested as the way to counter TGT.

A free john? how about a free NJ lol(JK) let me check with dad if it's ok.

My latest type 2 was made to counter all top archetypes for offenses. Brown splash with black on defense. Image of Jealousy/ Phillies Outpost/ Land Dispute makes it to where your fortresses on both sides mean nothing. Sites on defense, Unholy Writ x3, Burial Shroud x2, Darius' Decree x2, Golden Calf x2, and I splash greeks/ A-Bomb. On paper it seems to stop every offense played right now for the most part.
