I would definitely take out Shame LS for Wander LS. If you draw Shame in your opening 8 cards it is pointless. On the other hand, with no female heroes in your deck you'd definitely want to swap your Wanderer LS for their Female Only, or Two Liner, or NT only, etc. Also put in more Artifact removal than just DON (Lying Unto God, Captured Ark, etc). If they have Household Idols on their first turn, and your DON is at the bottom of your deck, you're in trouble.
Can you remind me what Prince Jonathan and Helez do again?
Thanks for sharing!

Jonathan bands to a hero with a reference from I Samuel. Helez does the same as Heldai
Apprehended and Wages of Sin I would take out. a Go into Captivity would be good to add. not sure what you'd add for the other slot.
I would also put Arioch in for Gomer.
also, you need some protection for your chariot. a Tabernacle and Lampstand would be good, because one Wrath and you're toast. and I'd use Mary mother of James instead of John. I'd also take out Prince Jonathan because I don't see anybody he can band to.
a Grapes, Mayhem and a Harvest Time would be good adds so you can get your opponents lost souls up quicker.

feels srry when ashera poles pops up

yeah, Asherah Pole, G-Cow, Confusion of Mind and Holy of Holies would kill this deck. all you have to stop that is DoN, which could be stopped by Lampstand.
-
needs Lying unto God
and i think you should modify your offense
any player with a destructive defense can take out your offense easy if you don't have enhancments
i'll build it, tweak it, and post it
what's the use in prince jonathan without any version of david?

ok here it is tweaked
i decided to make this a genesis/babylonian deck

You didn't "tweak" it. You built a new deck.

well, you may have "tweaked" the defense a little, but that's nothing like the original.
-
well i decided to change the whole offense together cause the offense he had won't win many games
i apologize for trying to help

it'll work, he just needs some more then just that. I'd rate this deck as a 5. you do need a Lying unto God in there. as well as a Brass Serpent and a few of the Armor of God enhancements. use Moses instead of Shamhuth. and take out your red, you can band, yes, but there's no sense in getting too big because your opponent will never get that high. once I had a 112/117 band that was CBN immunity. what's the point? I could have easily used a 30/30 band and won.

The point is to demoralize the RLK so he won't fight back at all :P

pretty sure that was against an adult... but I don't remember who. might have been Wolfe.

30/30 wouldnt get past my speed deck.(its not that one)
I could have ish, lahmi, band to golith with his spear. 10/10 + 8/10 + 10/10 + 8/10 = 36/40 and I could make it higher than that.

but Leo, you need to realize that higher numbers are a player's weak point in the feild of battle and if you have higher numbers and the battle isn't by the numbers, then your opponent pretty much MIGHT have the battle won.
im not saying higher numbers win or lose battles but depending on what you and your opponent has, you can win battles with fbtn but it's more likely he'll pick at your defense and leave your lost souls wide open for rescuing which isn't good.
what i suggest you do is focus on what's in your deck and focus on the cards that are available to you on RTS, because RTS has cards you don't even have in real life.
be sure if you are to tweak your deck to study your deck very carefully and also play what i like to call "Assume Games"
their games you play by yourself and assume your opponent has what card and plays their making and that could determine the differance in a game.
hope that helps! ;D

if your loaded up with negates it might work man.
-
negates will work if the queen of wonderland doesn't say "off with his/her head!!!" with cannot be negated cards like aocp and a child is born ;) :laugh:
-
yeah on the defense i thought you metion the offnse
-
includes the offense too.
his offense can get picked by his opponents if he's unfortunate to play against people with high places and place enhancments that destroy his deck,hand and territory

um, Red, Raven, have you ever played a Philly deck? they don't need initiative because A. They have Namaan's Chariot and Horses (with Ashdod) and Philistine Chariot and Horses. not sure how Philly's would be effective in a speed deck... oh, and B. they have that FooF negate and Mid Attack.

wraith, your reply is overruled cause im playing a deck with philly defense and quite frankly, my relationship with the philladelphia phillies isn't as good as me and some pharisees who are "sad that you see" , but i haven't played pedro martinez and count reugen much so only time will tell how much better the phillies will do in class against the pharisee professors ;)

Pharisees =/= Sadducees

pretty sure you spelled reugen wrong, but idk how, so...
and he died. was killed by Inigo Montoya.
as far as Phillies go, perhaps your defense wasn't as good as others, but as far as I know, Philistines are better then Sadds (Pharisees weren't the sad ones. it wasn't there temple that was torn apart...)
but neither compare to Brown!

I use them and I have 1 card that gets rid of that combo...12FG

I would still get him in battle and push everybody back and then I could get him back neck turn when you don't have aotl ;)

/facepalm. I totally didn't figure that.

ahh, I thought it could.
there are plenty of other ways around that though...
