that is nice! i was thinking about making a demon deck, but this way overpowers it! good luck with it, though u should use a complainer, and an admiral and a fallen angel....

Isildur · « **Reply #3 on:** April 12, 2009, 10:17:35 PM »

Yeah I really need to tweak it more.... Ill prolly have a more usable version up by tommrow.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #4 on:** April 12, 2009, 10:28:48 PM »

If it's a T1 deck, why do you have Cov w/Moses and Cov of Noah both x3?

I like this quite a bit.

Have you thought about bumping it up to 150 to gain the third copy of individual cards where needed?

If you did that, you would probably want to add another Joiada or two and a second Z's temple. I would also seriously consider adding False Peace x3

Isildur · « **Reply #5 on:** April 12, 2009, 10:32:42 PM »

Woops on the Cov's hmm 150 seems very tempting... Though idk how im going to draw fast enough.

That is the trick. Now, I'm just spit balling here--and I'm not a Karazy Vicepresident--but the following seems to make sense to me...

The first thing to do would be to maximize your chance of getting Z's Temple, Joiada, and Feast of Trumpets/Pentecost out. If you can do that, you will draw at double speed. If you manage to get Gifts with Trumpets you are at triple speed. That would argue for more Zaccheus and maybe an I Am Creator or two. I think you are stuck with False Peace for retrieving a feast, however.

On offense you want something that would be "unstoppable" after your opponent decks out. (Say using Chemosh to make Elon 5/1, setting him aside with The Sabbath, and then have him make a RA and play Samson's Sacrifice when blocked.) The idea is that you want to have something able to blow up the defense so your heroes can walk in for free on subsequent attempts. You don't want to get stuck waiting for a second copy of an enhancement to turn up.

Decks bigger than usual, to take advantage of the multiple deck building rules.
I started building decks like that because "they" said it couldn't be done.

1. Lost Soul Selection...
Demon Discarder x3
NT Only x3
Female Only x3
Wanderer x3
Shame x3
Can't be Prevented x3
Shuffler x3

There's always strength in simplicity.

2. Are Naaman's C & H and Swift Horses in there just for the ITB?

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 16, 2009, 01:28:33 AM »

Sorry for the double post, but here is a screen snapshot of IT! versus my 105 card deck BigBoy

IT! was on top. Note the fine collection of ECs on the top and bottom left just waiting to be used, and the widespread collection of enhancements on the middle right that is Isildur's Storehouse. The upside cards are the our artifact piles.

a lovely mess. 12 Legions!

I have temporarily immortalized this on D3's "Just a thought before you go" feature:

I love the look of this deck, but I'm wondering how effective mass evil banding is. I guess it could work against a lot of offenses, but there are a good number of widely-used cards that could really cripple this strategy (AoC promo comes to mind). Do you find that it is able to stop enough of those cards to beat most offenses?

A child is born might also be a problem for this deck as well.

It would be if anybody played A Child is Born.

Forget about all the possible counters. Just looking at all those Legion starting me in the face gave me a case of the heebie jeebies.

Same here...The whole army of demon eyes; it sends a tingle down your spine.

I know, Legions are completely underrated. Yes, you may run into the tragic SoG blast.... but chances are you'll draw at least one or two off the bat. Nothing more satisfying then watching someone RA with captian of the host on turn one with a big grin on their face, only to watch it melt away as you block with two legions... even if they HAVE SoG, that clause is negated then.
