The ultimate band combo is in here. Can you find it. The numbers ad up to 61/56 It has to end with captin of the host.(I like to call captin of the host capt'n crunch, lol)

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.

ok here it is tweaked

i decided to make this a genesis/babylonian deck

if anyone wishes to tweak my version by all means go ahead and tweak away

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

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.

I hope you'd have besieged in there...

if your loaded up with negates it might work man.

yeah on the defense i thought you metion the offnse

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

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!
