1) I tried to have a way to band in all three bridges and a way to negate in all three as well.

2) I have self with KOTW to help against TGT.

3) I know I'll have a hard time with sites but I ran out of room (I'm actually trying to keep it at 56 instead of my usual 63).

Whatcha think?

I can't think of any good reason that you don't have Zebulun in play, especially since all of your heroes are gensis...I believe

The main reason I chose not to include him is because of my defense.  Since I have three diferent brigades, I foresee my hand almost always being full (so his special won't help me that much).

I would replace Herodias with Salome, Devourer with Foolish Advice, Rash Oath with Temptation, and Imitating Evil with Dream.

I think this looks pretty good.

Herodias is use for Herod's Dungeon (which I forgot to put into my deck (now I got to figure out what to take out  )).

Though I wanted to have fun with Rash Out, Temptation would be better.  Switched.

Switch IE for dream (forgot it will only get crimson enhancements).

Any more advise (especially what I should switch out for HD)?

Herodias is use for Herod's Dungeon ...

Salome can do the same thing, except she can also band to any Herod (of any brigade). Now that I think of it though, you might want to keep Herodias, because with so much negation stuff, it would be nice to have Salome's ability CBN (and also have someone for Antipas to band to).

If I do add Salome (thanks for pointing her out, she would be great for this deck), I would probably take out Antipas (since Agrippa II can bank to Alexander and negates protections).

I'd add cov of salt. It makes those pesky 5/* OT heroes fall victim to HDungeon

Would be fun but what would I take out for it (especially since I still have no idea what to take out to put HD in).

As a rather defense-heavy deck, you might want to make this 63 cards. There are just so many thing you could add to help this out.

Your offense isn't gonna win ls fast enough to hold out with such a tiny defense.

Gold and crimson

Congratulations!
