I am not trying to be impatient but I am going to tourney this Saturday and would appreciate some feedback.

Amorite Invasion would be a good card to replace, as it simply adds numbers. I don't know how big your collection is, but eventually you want rid your decks of enhancements that are solely there for numbers, and no other purpose, unless you are playing with a number of Fight by the Number characters. If you have Midianite Attack, that would be a much better card to add. You can band with Gomer to any other Evil Character in your deck. If they play a battle winner that can be negated, you can play Midianite Attack.

If you have Foolish Advice, I would replace Goliath's Spear with that card. As you have many higher numbered black evil characters, it is important to have a way to negate their enhancements. Joseph in Prison is one way, but Foolish Advice would help alot. Or if you do not have that card, you can use Denying Blame, which is a card in the G/H starter decks.

I would also recommend adding Unknown Nation (gold curse) if you have it. It is very versatile card and I put it in most of my decks that have more than a couple human evil characters. You might also benefit from adding Wool Fleece, an artifact which prevents evil characters from banding. You have higher numbers on offense and several banding cards, so stopping your opponent's banding is very helpful. Also, it is a great combo to play Second Seal with Wool Fleece active, as you flood the battlefield with your heroes, and leave them with only their original blocker. I would drop an evil enhancement and a good enhancement for those two.

I hope you do well!

Eh, Looks solid, but some things to consider:

1) The Sites are doing absolutely nothing for you right now. they may slow an opponent down temporarily, but nothing permanent.

2) I only see 6 evil battle winners and calling 2 of them "battle winners" is a stretch, I would consider adding in at least 3 more, I would put Midianite Attack in place of Amorite invasion, Wrath of Satan in place of Four Horns, and Pride of Simon in place of Flight.

3) Likewise I see very few battle winners on Offense, some ones to consider are Seventh Trumpet, Spiritual Warfare, and Striking Herod.

4) Is this a 70 card deck? I see 9 lost souls so I'll assume it is,
A 70 card deck is just asking for trouble, most if not all competitive decks in recent seasons have been 50-56 cards with the occasional 63. Try to cut it back to 63 at least, preferably 56. the fourteen cards I would cut would be 2 Lost souls, the 3 white sites. Godspeed, Political Bribes, Preaching Gods word, Apollos, Altar of Ahaz, Babel, Treachery of Jezebel, Multitude, and Hammer of Heaven,

Heres why:
The 2 souls should be self explanatory, The white sites like I said earlier are doing nothing for you, Apollos and Preaching Gods word is a neat little combo, but that high numbers in really unnecessary in the current meta game, Moses on his own in much better than those two cards, Your defense is to spongy for Altar of Ahaz to matter much. The other cards likewise are never going to win you a battle and thus can come out as fluff.

4) I would consider a different offence, I suggest keeping the silver but putting in another brigade with more synergy, Blue or Green for instance, both go better with silver than gold in my opinion.

Hope this helps,

RDT

Thanks for the advice guys! RDT if I went with Blue or Green are there any cards to looks out for? I don't have access to Roa/FooF Blue are there any older cards in blue or green(I have both seraphim) still viable in the current meta game? My Collection is older, mostly Kings and earlier, with a few AW and Priests. Any other Replacement for Wrath of Satan? I don't have that card. I don't have Striking Herod, but I might have the other two.

Should I consider splashing in teal for some extra battle winners?

If I drop Gold should I also drop The Name of the Lord?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #5 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:02:53 PM »

Another option would be teal. It integrates pretty good too, and it is very powerful in just a few cards.

Korunks · « **Reply #6 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:05:25 PM »

any Teal cards that work particularly well with Silver?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #7 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:10:18 PM »

Well, you need more battlewinners, and that is teal's specialty. There is also a Teal/Silver card that bands an angel into battle i believe.

Korunks · « **Reply #8 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:19:04 PM »

Grrr.... I really need to find a local vendor to sell RoA/FooF It is hard ordering online, given the time limit.

I'll rebuild that part of my deck tonight and I'll repost it.

Korunks · « **Reply #9 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:35:45 PM »

Okay guys I am stuck, What color should I replace Gold with? I was going to use Blue with a focus on jacob, but I have some of the teal battle winners so Should I try to splash teal in or go with blue? What are some Blue battle Winners(Non FooF/RoA) that I should consider? OR should I just go Green?
