Greek if you want to play Abom.  Otherwise, Philistines are amazing, especially with site lockout.

It depends on the offense. For most thing, I would go with Philistines, but if you are using Luke heroes, go with Greeks (or even Greek/Philistine since greeks don't really work by themselves anyway).

There is no such thing as a Greek defense. Your options are Philistines+Abom, Demons+Abom and hope your Leopard doesn't get pwnt, or Sadducees+Abom.

I actually use a Pharisees+Greek defense in my Luke Deck.

I still think black is too predictable. Most part it's Philistines and Abom. I would throw in stuff which is not normally played.

Black is predictable because it's good stuff. Brown is way over-hyped, Black is king.

Why? They can use Philistine Horse and Namaan's Ride.

Saph can use Namaan's Chariot and Horses anytime, and all three of the non-black Phillies can use NC&H and Philistine Horses with Ashdod occupied.

Yes. Saph is Gray, as is NC&H. When Ashdod is occupied, any of the giants can use any non-pale/orange OT enhancement, which includes Philistine Horses and NC&H.

double what???! Brown is amazing. over-hyped my foot. their enhancements are starting to fall behind, but the characters are still the best in the game. if anything, Brown is under-used.

basically, Black Gold and Brown are the three best. Gold is my favorite to play. and I don't play Black just because I think it's over-hyped.

I agree that black and brown are powerful but I have to disagree that gold is in the top three.  They are fun to play but power wise, Crimson is more powerful.

Sorry, I gotta say Gold>Brown Gold=Crimson Gold>black

But that is personal preference. And "Black is weak"

I guess I haven't tried crimson in a while... but Gold and defenseless are just too much fun... I go brown for T2... but that's a whooole 'nother conversation.
