This deck is extremely weak. Your kidding yourself if you think the defense is going to hold off a well-built offense. Achan's Sin is the only interrupting card, and the rest are very weak, bland battle-winners (and Confusion) with no initiative characters. Plus, remember that AoCP wipes out your defense as well. Have you ever seen an Assyrian defense? Even a mediocre one could tear this deck in two. Caleb, I know this will sound crazy to you, but BUMP THIS DECK UP TO 56 AND PUT IN A REAL DEFENSE. Don't focus on speed (With Darius' Decree out, Pentecost is not recommended), but focus on a sturdy deck frame.

Just add Joseph's Silver Cup. honestly Darius Decree is probably the card I'm least worried about.

Right, put in two extra cards to draw three cards from your deck.

I'm not going to make your deck for you Caleb. I honestly believe that you have the ability to make a good fair-sized defense by yourself. You're just stuck in your Speed/TGT world and don't want to leave your box.

This defense is terrible. Why stall with this when you can stall with Uzzah, TD, etc, and do it better?

No, it was assumed that Pentecost, First Fruits and there like were in the deck, so I'm adding one card to protect my heros. And even if I don't use it for that purpose the card is actually pretty neat. one of my favorite plays is to activate it the turn after you use captured ark - I force you to waste the second use of it, plus I get my JSC reset!

5 EC's and 11 EE's? *sigh*

xCaLeBx · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:12:01 PM »

no 5 ECs 10 EEs I always if that if I use defense

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #13 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:35:08 PM »

5 EC and 10 EE is a recipie for disaster.

use at least 9 EC if you have that many EEs.

Also, you have 3 battle winners on offense. If I have a protection fort, there goes your offense.

xCaLeBx · « **Reply #14 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:36:28 PM »

I always have theissueof running out of EC's though

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:44:01 PM »

Well now that risk is even larger, and you also have a worse chance of drawing them in the first place.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:49:24 PM »

Yeah, if the offense had enough punch, it could work. But as it stands, you only have 3 that can potentially win a battle. A badly timed CM or negate and your offense is toast, then the defense would quickly follow suit.

The theme isnt bad, it just needs more umph.

xCaLeBx · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:50:17 PM »

changed some.the defense is their to hurt'em not rly block much

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:53:24 PM »

Why do you still have Words of Discouragement in there? Its kind of a... meh.... enhancement unless paired with a crapload of Sin in the Camps.

Offense looks a little better now.

xCaLeBx · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:54:16 PM »

its just to hurt them while sin is up
