Not enough heroes or lost soul generation. You want enough heroes and souls available to be able to attack every turn. Maybe splash in the TGT females and Susanna/Lydia to give your offense more heroes and more fire power. A Child Is Born, He Is Risen and TGT could really help, especially against demons which will shut your offense down. You need to include a couple of ways to get out lost souls to rescue. Watw is good, but I would also suggest Harvest Time and maybe even AM Slave. Grapes and Burial should also be in there. I would take out water jar and j-tower. Those really aren't needed in type 1. Also take out dragon raid for the ends of the earth. I would leave out the 2 sites, site related lost souls and some good enhancements. Here is what my last crimson defense looked like:

Crimson Evil Characters: 7
  Asphanez
  Nebby
  Nebushasban
  Nergalsharezer
  Leviathan
  Judas Iscariot
  Red Dragon

Crimson Evil Enhancements: 9
  Dream
  Christian Suing Another
  Belshazzar's Banquet
  Great Image
  Nebby's Pride
  Swift Horses
  Midianite Attack
  Set Fire
  Head of Gold

Multi Evil Characters: 1
  The Amalekites' Slave

J-Tower is a good card, but like Wall of Protection is more of a luxury than a necessity in a 56 card deck. It would be alot better card if the play as said protect instead of prevent. That way it could stop Watw and Harvest Time also.

That is a bold statement. I include in nearly every deck in one of the archetypes I like to build. Is it for every deck built?....No, but having a contigency plan in your deck when you can is quite useful. I have found that in 56 cards there is alot of room to add some fort and art protection.


Godspeed,

It may be bold, but it has proven to be true. Look at the top decks from last years nats. They did not include WoP or J-Tower.
