As stated in the title, this is my first attempt at this type of deck. Any comments, suggestions, concerns or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

you need spreading mildew to get rid of JT. Also I would add the captures and ruthless in. Those are staples imo...If you do the caputres, add the egypt sites.

How many people actually use JT? I have yet to come across it in a game, but it is definatley a problem if I do come across it. Ruthless was the last card I cut and I considered the captues and sites, but just do not have room.

Even if they don't play JT you can use it on another fort that helps them...

No Gabe??

Thought about it, but Gabe does not fit the deck theme of discarding the top card and would probably never win in a rescue attempt.

With gabe you can search the dec kand pick either one enhancement or one evil enhancement. Depending on which one you are playing...

to do deck discard, i would use a 56 card deck with most of the dominants. use silver on offense and gold on defense. pick capture OR sitelock. i don't care what the cards say, (e.x. Nero's Realem: if a NT hero is placed here.......ETC.ETC.) the stratageis work against each other. if i were you i would do capture/deck discard with silver on offense.

Needs more Gabe and Angel of the Harvest.

Has anyone ever tried making a very large Egyptian defense and using good enhancements and holy Grail to convert your deck discarding evil characters?

Yeah...but some of them say when blocking and then if yo uconvert all the ones that you could for that abilty to work and then your opponent converts the ones that say when blocking, then you're toast...
