Do you have all these cards?

I think you should add in an AoCP concept just like 5 cards but it could giv you the extra soul you need...

I don't think this would work. CoM would negate, 12FG would negate, and you have no ehancements to back them up even if they did outdo you...

In teams you have two of every good dominant, and end up having to discard so many extras, so I'm not worried about COM (we also have a ton of artifact removal - 7 artifact discards or shuffles if I counted right).  12 FG is a Dominant and Holy Grail magnet, IF our opponents are even using him.  The concept is to band to each other's heroes on rescues, and band our ECs with their own (like 12 FG by the way), after negating their WOP with Destructive Sin and IOJ.

Purple doesn't go well in FBTNB. Trust me I tried it just for AOCP. I counted only 3 banding cards in there and they can't end with a BTN character

I'm not talking about banding purple i'm just saying like hav

ET
Widow
AoCP
Reach
Great Faith

My dad uses this in his FbTN deck and it works pretty well

If you HG him he'd tear apart your defense too.

plus he won't tear apart their defense because he only works for GOOD banding abilities

oh...oh well yeah i still dont see how that guy would tear the defense simply because his offense is 6

all of your characters are banding except for uzzah 7 sons of sceva and kot and sapphira. None of those could kill him if they wanted to do so...and you only have 4 ehnancements to go with them...

yeah but annanias is CBN and gomer is CBN and fallen angel is CBP

Again with the 12 FG!  Do all redemption players really create team decks to deal with this one card?  So if FBTN no longer a strategy because of ONE CARD that just MIGHT be in someone's deck?  I already mentioned Holy Grail, + Grapes, + AOL.  We only need to rescue 3 lost souls before we can SOG and NJ the other two.

Furthermore, are we sure that you can Outpost "THE TWELVE FINGERED GIANT".  I thought that if a character began with "THE" and was singular, that he is deemed non-generic?

12FG should be in everybody's deck, considering it completely shuts down these FBTNB decks. my FBTN has some back up that'd deal with it, but it still gives me problems.

of course, I also think that Possessing Demon should be in everybody's deck...

I feel your pain. Which standalones do you think are staples?

But according to what was said above, you're really talking about at least THREE cards that should be in everybody's deck, right?  12FG, Armorbearer and Outpost (if you want to keep recurring him)?

nope. just two. 12FG and Possessing Demon. Armorbearer is green...
but if you can get them to waste their AotL, 12FG is a game winner. oh, and btw, I don't use it in any of my decks right now.

Good question.  In ALMOST every tournament deck I make now, I have the following (in addition to the dominants):  Holy Grail, Captured Ark, Hopper LS, The Amalekite Slave, Confusion of Mind, Unholy Writ, Unknown Nation, Uzzah, Torment, Brass Serpent Promo, Wall of Protection and sometimes Holy of Holies and Women as Snares (if Shuffler LS is in play).  There may be others also that I'm not thinking of.  These assume I am using a deck that has any defense to speak of at all.

that's interesting. you must like speed. Unholy Writ I can see in any deck, the rest is extremely dependent on the deck.
