If you manage to get Besieging the City and Mayhem at the same time, you can play Mayhem on the turn where your opponent is restricted from drawing to clear his hand.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Potiphar's Wife is a human evil character so I don't see why she wouldn't work with Raiders' Camp...

Deck updated. 55 cards. Will put in Potiphar's Wife if you think that is a good idea too. Would still like to get a ruling on her.

Wifey does indeed send her victims to the camp. When two SA's are in conflict, barring other hierarchical considerations, the one which activated first takes precedence, and that's Raider's Camp unless it was somehow played during a battle in which Wifey was already active (not sure if that's even possible).

Thank you all for your help. Will try to round up some of these cards now. Still taking any suggestions though.

out Priestly Crown
In Queen tahpenes or potiphar

Priestly crown in most games is just a dead card potiphar is a genesis Egyptian  and Queen tahpenes can discard a card from opponent deck and may be give you and evil character.

Queen isn't that great I'd prefer another genesis Egyptian over her for sure.

The best way to use besieging the city is with FO or WF u enter battle with a little guy who gets initiative play BtC and then follow with FO or a double block

It also prevent your opponent from drawing on their next turn

Besieging the City seems like a 2 for 1 for your opponent. How good is it really? It takes 2 cards to thier one card and it may not even block which negates the upside to the card in that they cant rescue or draw. Dont get me wrong I want to like this card, Pure Johnny!

I think what we have here is another T2 player trying to play T1. :)

I have Potiphar in right now. Site lock is more important with the people I play with than most of you and anyone I play online. Most of us only have a few cards newer than RoA with me having the most. That's why I'm behind in a lot of strategy. I'm learning a lot though...

if i have to cut one or the other i cut FO before i cut BtC  . . failed object and besieging the city are in effect the same card just BtC blocks on the next turn and stops drawing of opponent . . . . i have played it and died in many many battles getting a next turn block  . . . to me BtC is no different from FO, DoU, Uzzah, Bel's Banquet, Suicidal Swine Stampede ect . . . . actually its just a little bit better

Game is X-4, BtC just lost you the game. Game is X-4, FO just stalled you another turn.

that is one possible scenario take into account all the others and weigh it fairly MKC u see this one way and u arent willing to look at this from any angle but the one u already have  . . . we have already discussed this

BtC is better then FO IMO

MKC says FO is better then BtC IHO

Take it or leave it for what u want but BtC was the best part of my defense at nats this year

FO is live in all situations.

BtC just lost you the game in the aforementioned scenario.

FO is only dead when enhancements are being negated, which holds true for BtC as well.

Not a difficult decision.

Maybe you're a bit confused, because everything I stated was a fact.

Yeah mock it now, but next time I BC you with Jair to draw a card you're going to be wishing you had BTC.

Dropping BtC on Shamgar (L) is a far better pro play.

Or rescue a soul or draw for his draw phase

If by chance it combo's with FO or WF it becomes a double block and speed bump it also has potential with CM and GoW

If it couples with mayhem u just shuffled your whole hand and guess what u aren't drawing your 6

Just things to think about
