I've never made on like this before.  I'd like to find a way to work in Women as Snares too.

What's this deck supposed to do? The Name of the Lord? The Tabernacle? No TGT... a btn offense would thrash this, a common capn band would crush it, and anyone who plays with enhs should walk right through the defense. Sorry.

LOL.  FORGOT THE GARDEN TOMB!  Fixing

It can definitely work. Although I'd suggest cutting it down to 50 cards.

I thought about that also, but I decided instead that I would like more defense.  I know it slows it down (by two turns or so) for drawing out the deck, but I'd rather at least pretend to put up a fight

TGT offense could blow past your defence. I like the offense. defence not so much.

King Leo

Can you explain how/why I'd be worried about facing another Garden Tomb deck?  I have both Destructive Sin and Image of Jealousy to deal with an opposing Garden Tomb.  I have two capture artifacts.  And I'm playing Garden Tomb myself.

Other than just making single color defense, which would not be that impressive if I only use 11 defensive cards, what would you like to see this deck have to counter Garden Tomb?

so you give a ls
attack with your TGT
they surprise u with thier TGT character
u destructive sin your own tgt so they cant attack with thier guy
I am grace your destructive sin, attack
play image of jealosy on your TGT
I am grace jealosy, attack
win?

needs access i think...

Access is hopefully not an issue with Woman at the Well, Hopper, HT and Amal Slave in there.

Oh, i do not doubt this- just think it would be better with at least 3 access sites.
