Is it teal?

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #1 on:** May 17, 2014, 08:37:03 PM »

Red, actually.

(so play Lystra, Caesarea Philipi, and other red sites)

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #2 on:** May 17, 2014, 09:54:23 PM »

If you go with red, you can do Babylonian banquet hall with 6 babylons, if only 7 souls. then if they are using red, you have the banquet hall to hold ALL of the souls.

Tan, actually. It is not well known at all.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2014, 10:09:14 AM »

well, that is different. it hasnt quite come out yet.

and hopefully never will. Redemption would be a stronger game if they had developed the new themes within the original 12 brigades.

and I think the least used brigade has to be one of the evil ones. I'd guess crimson or gold.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #6 on:** May 18, 2014, 02:01:46 PM »

I think Gold. I see Crimson used in a lot of decks, even if it is only like the magicians and banquet, it is still usedmore than gold in my experience. And I think more brigades just makes the game more versatile.

T2 sees Egyptians being useful due to their insane speed with good protection still.

On least used brigade, it is probably White. The lady component of TGT is seeing less use since the Disciples are better and faster, Daniel doesn't get used as a theme (only to have Daniel himself), Ruth is seeing use but not widespread, and Musicians are not considered viable enough (I disagree, but that's me).

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2014, 02:16:08 PM »

that is true. I agree. White is least used. for now.

Chris · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2014, 02:53:54 PM »

Strictly speaking, Daniel is white brigade, and he's used in a lot of decks. How many high-tier decks use red for anything in T1?

yirgogo · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2014, 03:05:20 PM »

Judges use red. in the last 20 games with my judges deck I have gone 14-6 and I use red. Disciples also use red with that one disciple who is red.

Chris · « **Reply #11 on:** May 18, 2014, 03:08:26 PM »

Disciples have one character who is half-red, and in my experience, he's generally considered to be one of the least effective (and thus, one of the least played) of the Disciples. You're the only person I've heard of recently who plays Gold/Red.

yirgogo · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2014, 03:10:32 PM »

Yeah, I have Gold/Red/Green/Purple/Silver.
Kindof a splashy offence, but it works!
It was normally a teams deck, but I just have used it lately with some modifications because I love how it works!

Master KChief · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2014, 04:37:20 PM »

A Disciple that protects from Vain Philosophy, Tiberius, Sorrow of Mary, Nazareth, and Rain Becomes Dust is definitely not on my least effective list.

As I said, Daniel does not get used as a theme. Even if Daniel is used, he is not used at all for being White.

On the least effective disciple, that is James son of Z for sure. Simon is a lot more useful, especially in T2.

The funny thing is the OP also has a thread on his Daniel themed deck.

Redoubter · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2014, 05:12:37 PM »

Oh, I've used Daniel as a theme, along with Musicians, even in the same deck.

However, I thought this conversation was on what we don't normally see, and as we all know, I am not normal

In any definition.

Chris · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2014, 05:18:13 PM »

He didn't ask in relation to playable themes, just what is the least used brigade, and by virtue of Daniel being found in many decks, it can't be white.

LukeChips · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2014, 05:59:49 PM »

I happen to use a white Daniel deck. It has O.T. angels and O.T. white prophets.

I have won many games (and a tournament) with an almost pure red offense.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2014, 08:29:49 PM »

We had a guy in our playgroup that won tournaments with a pure red and Assyrian deck. no splashing of anything. He was the best in our playgroup at Oakdale, till he moved back home.

yirgogo · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2014, 08:31:55 PM »

I do think that it is the least used brigade, though completly underplayed.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2014, 08:38:45 PM »

a lot of people in our playgroup use it. just not straight up red. I'm one of the few who DONT use it. not my style.

Chris · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2014, 09:02:43 PM »

Personal experience means nothing. I can find a few people who have recently won a lot of games using every brigade, but one of them still has to be the least used. Green, gold, and silver see among the most play because they all play pivotal roles in the standard OT splash decks. Blue doesn't see much play right now, despite that time it won Nats last August. Teal is often used in OT splash decks, and Purple sees a healthy amount of play between Royalty and Disciples. That pretty much leaves red and white, and frankly, I think Gardensciples and TGT/Ruth hybrids see more play (and are better) than anything using more than a red card or two.

Technically it's clay not tan
