Title: CTB Speed...Hopefully
Post by: BubbleBoy on December 12, 2008, 07:46:59 PM

I only began the offense, but I don't want to continue unless I think this has some merit:

Hur
  Provisions

The Generous Widow
Moses

King Amaziah
Lydia
Maharai
  Moses and Elders
  Transfiguration
  Words of Encouragement

Elijah
Ethiopian Treasurer
  AoCP
  Great Faith
  Prosperity
  Reach of Desperation
  Trust

Claudia
  Book of Hozai
  Jubilee
  Lamenting for Jephthath's Daughter
  Stillness


Any merit?...at all?

you need alot more punch there. take SoulSaver's Velocity's deck as a good speed example.

mahariah?

what is that in there for? Mahari can band to Claudia, who can band to ET, who can play a bunch of speed.

Lamenting for Jephthah's Daughter isn't worth it.  Use Obedience of Noah instead, Jacob and Claudia + ET can play it before the block anyway.

Multi-color Heroes: 1
Seeker of the Lost

Silver Heroes: 1
Captain of the Host (Warriors)

Green Heroes: 2
Hur
Armorbearer

White Heroes: 3
King Amaziah
Maharai (Warriors)
Lydia (G/H)

Purple Heroes: 2
King David
Ethiopian Treasurer

Blue Heroes: 2
Claudia
Jacob

Good Enhancements: 15
Coat of Many Colors
Pentecost
Provisions
Search
Plague of Frogs
Words of Encouragement
A Child is Born
Moses and Elders
AoCP
Reach
Great Faith
Abraham's Servant to Ur
Book of Hozai
Book of Jashar
Obedience of Noah

You might want to cut down the enhancements some, but I've used a speed offense similar to that with a good amount of success (note that this was pre-FOOF and ROA).  Use a few immune ECs like Red Dragon, and some small ones to choose the blocker if you just want to get a lost soul without drawing.
