I really like this deck idea, because instead of the usual site decks which use multiple site colors, this deck uses only one - purple - and has lots of different ways to combat that color specifically. It still needs some work, though, especially on offense. :-\

Lost Soul (Color Guard)
Lost Soul (Female Only)
Lost Soul (N.T. only)

I thought you were only allowed 3 duplicate cards if there is no sa. maybe switch out a few patmos w/ prison? The warriors frog demons is immune to purple. could be interesting to throw that in there..
-
Nope, you can have unlimited sites
Maximum of 3 of each in a deck:
Single-colored Heroes, Evil Characters and enhancements that do not have a special ability.
-
I would add a storehouse if you play with Zebulun as the offense. You could also add jacob and Reuben'as Torn Clothes.
-
Another Sitelock poops on this deck. I'd also recommend making it faster somehow or going to 63.
-
Yah you could add Hur Gifts of the magi, and Interceding for battle to get hur out of the way and get rid of immunity.
-
I've contemplated making a brown/black site lock defense before. One thing that I think you should consider is what if your opponent is using a chiefly purple offense? While destruction of Athaliah is good, it can only be used a couple of times. I would recommend going with red sites rather than purple. Then you could throw in Bear (http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/LinkedDocuments/Bear%20(DL).gif) and/or Sisera (http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/LinkedDocuments/Sisera%20(Ki).gif) to help out.
Just my :2cents:.
EDIT: Actually, Black does have Demon in Armor (http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/LinkedDocuments/Demon%20in%20Armor%20(Pa).gif), so maybe you could just throw that in there and stick with the purple sites. There might be other anti-purple brown or black characters that I'm not aware of as well.

I considered Storehouse, but I usually don't seem to need it when I put it in. As for Jacob and RTC, that isn't reliable enough to put in for just one combo, especially since I have the anti-ignore LS.

I would love to make it 63. Any suggestions?

Um...no thanks. Hur + Gifts does not go well with this deck.

I have Goliath's Armor (better than Bear IMO because it's CBN and can go on someone with another ability), Overwhelmed by Philistines (again, CBN against purple), and three nukers: Destruction of Athaliah, Wrath of Satan (+ Pride of Simon to get it back if I need to), and PwD + Face of Death, plus a number of ways to make all those CBN. Is that not enough? Red would be even more difficult to pull of, since it has no equivalent to Destruction of Athaliah or Overwhelmed by Philistines.

Yeah, Demon in Armor might be a good idea. Thanks, I'll put that in.
There might be other anti-purple brown or black characters that I'm not aware of as well.
Since purple has very little (often no) banding, Philistine Garrison is pretty awesome. Since red uses lots of banding, he wouldn't be as effective against that at all.

Add more offense would be the first thing that would come to my mind.

Interesting...I never thought that adding cards could make a deck smaller, but you may have something there! ;)

:doh:
I thought ya wanted to increase it :P.
-
My question is: Which negative cards should I "add"?
-
My apologies for not checking on the abilities of Goliath's Armor and Overwhelmed by Philistines before posting.
The only other card that I'm not so sure about is Destruction of Athaliah. It does nuke purple heroes, but if you opponent isn't playing purple it's pretty much useless. If you decide to shrink the deck some, that one might be a candidate for removal.

If my opponent doesn't use purple, I'm home-free! I just have to steal all their access sites (which I can do up to four times) and lock them out. Plus, I still have Wrath of Satan and Face of Death, and Overwhelmed by Philistines would still work even if it wasn't CBN.

Also realize that if the rumors are true, PWD+FOD will be nerfed beyond reconition.
-
jusst do jacob with jakes dream and then you can juse asher to recurr it.
thats what briangabe taught me about sitelockign
2cents.

I'm unfamiliar with the term "nerfed." Is it...bad? :P

I considered this, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to add Jacob just for that.
