Underwood is dead on with the fact you have a ration problem going on. Try to only have 1 or 2 more enhancements then characters with a 11 to 18 ration you are never going to have enough EC's.

Offensively I don't like Eli's sound advice, Gideon's call or deb directive
Defensively Laban makes sense for you because he can use both gray and pale green plus he is another Multi-color magician so I would drop seizing spirit for Laban (p).
To get grapes in I would drop DoN, u do have ASA that can hit arts.

I would keep the Deb's Directive, and instead put in Jephthah and Angel with a Secret Name.Quote from: jbeers285 on October 27, 2013, 11:55:21 PMDefensively Laban makes sense for you because he can use both gray and pale green plus he is another Multi-color magician so I would drop seizing spirit for Laban (p).You already have Manny, Damsel, and Egyptian Mags, so I don't think you need another multi-magician. But I agree that Egyptian Cupbearer is a great add to this deck, so I'd put it in for Seizing Spirit.I also agree that Invoking Terror is going to be useful more often than Confusion. But Confusion is SO game-changing when you get it off, that I think it should probably stay. I would keep Confusion and instead put in IT for Mag Snakes (which I don't like as much because it can be interrupted/negated).Quote from: jbeers285 on October 27, 2013, 11:55:21 PMTo get grapes in I would drop DoN, u do have ASA that can hit arts.I completely agree that you need Grapes (as I mentioned before). You could either put it in for DoN or AotL, but it needs to be there. If you take out DoN, then I would probably add either Lying Unto God or Captured Ark.

If I could play it after getting 2K horses off that would be awesome! I may take your advice and take out Mags Snakes for IT. I will sub in EM with it. I will take IT out of my babs deck because I don't use it that much in there anyway. Also, if i make these changes do you all think that it would be tourney potential this weekend....hint hint josiah! lol!
I also agree with dropping the Confusion. Unless you're playing a fast deck, making Confusion live is far too risky. Too many Naz's still floating around, and you may not even pick off anything useful by the time you draw into it and use it.
