It depends on what your deck is.

King of Tyrus is a good stand alone, but in a Sadducee deck I wouldn't put him in.
With all the Sadducees that there are, you should have enough characters that King of Tyrus would just be in the way.
With a Sadducee deck I'd focus on the theme, rather than throw in another brigade.
Besides without enhancements, he could be beaten by the numbers without too much trouble.

Although not standalone, Lot's Wife is pretty much a must for all black decks. If you're looking for ways to stop CotH though, Twelve-Fingered Giant is perfect. He makes sure Cappy can't use any of his nice banding combos, and also has a nice, big defense.

Another thing you can use in a black deck is King Amon and Manasseh.
They're the black version of King Nadab and Jeroboam I.

Do you have Amaziah the HP and King Jeroboam the 2nd?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #131 on:** January 14, 2009, 03:05:44 PM »

...why?

It's Israelite.
Wouldn't it be better to keep the defense a single color?
After all, King Elah's ability isn't really useful.

Oh. I didn't know that you were choosing the blocker.
That's a whole different story.
However, if they can play something they have almost guaranteed initiative.

Freedom Fighter · « **Reply #135 on:** January 14, 2009, 06:08:41 PM »

When I use choose the blocker, I prefer to use blue.
That way, I can block with my own character, and use Paying Tribute.
This allows me to win the battle without anyone dying and I can draw a card.

well assuming they don't have any enh either or would work.

Orange.
Gold.

but I see no red.

Why do you have to ruin our conversations?

Freedom Fighter · « **Reply #139 on:** January 15, 2009, 10:35:24 PM »

I do prefer red, but sometimes conversations just go on tangents.

Captain of the Host + Gathering of Angels

Caleb (10/7) , Men of Judah (12/12) , Army of Simeonites (11/11), Captain of the Host (10/10)
43/40=WIN

If opponent stops Captain, play Red's battlewinners and "If used by Warrior Class" cards.
I love my red/gray deck.

Alhough...

Your attack: 43/40 with Captain negating + Opponent's The Trap of the Devil= DOAH!

Don't forget Caleb's sword or any other of wepon class enchantment.

Nebushasban is in territory. Block w/ the nergalizer and play sarah's jealousy or nebuchadnezzer's pride

That's the sine of a really good conversation, or at least within its radius.

Freedom Fighter · « **Reply #142 on:** January 15, 2009, 11:12:09 PM »

I prefer initiative with battle winners.
I also would rather only use one color for offense.

Freedom Fighter · « **Reply #143 on:** January 15, 2009, 11:12:46 PM »

Also, Captain of the Host is overused.

Captain of the Host is what people use when they don't know how to make a good deck.
(Excluding purely silver decks of course)

I know this thread is dead, but I thought I would offer some topical advice for Red Brigade.

Quote from: Alex-CB on August 02, 2008, 01:50:52 PM

Well, I'm in the process of making a new deck and I want the Offense to be mostly Red Brigade, but the only problem is that I have never used the Red Brigade and I need some good strategies. I want to use both NT and OT so I can get the NT Only LS. Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance,
Alex-cb

Alex-cb, I know that most of this thread was not too helpful, but here is my idea. If you have Walking on Water and Peter, put both of them in the deck. Peter will give you numbers... numbers that come in handy when you play Battle Cry every turn. But, enough of that, for the female hero, use Jael! Even if your opponent has Wall of Protection every few games, she has great name-on-name bonus with Jael's nail, and she is a lot of fun to use.

Also, employ the aid of Jahaziel son of Zechariah, and Kerith Ravine to band into battle all but one hero every turn.

People should learn how to make good strategies within a single brigade offense, instead of just splashing in to make up for their deck's inadequacies.

I especially despise silver banding to other colors.
It happens way too often and shows a lack of imagination.
It doesn't matter whether you use musicians, Jacob, Entertaining angels, etc... It's just redundant.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #148 on:** January 16, 2009, 02:15:24 PM »

I personally despise theme decks. oh snap, I'm screwed.

That isn't always a sign of weakness. Sometimes it helps the stratagy. Example If I use CTB and need to have the ability to play Sound the trumpet, I may add e.t. to help me play it first cuz it helps. I agree people should learn how to make good single colors BEFORE splashing but splashing is an awesome technique.
