I agree, and as a side note, would it almost be worth to, at the very least, bump up a Prophets/Assyrian deck to 56 with extra Assyrians to use PoJ on? I've been skeptical of it, and haven't had it in my offense-heavy Prophets/Assyrians so far, but with a slightly larger deck size, the payoff might be worth it.

Post by: browarod on October 09, 2011, 07:01:24 PM: My Prophessyrian deck is 56 with PoJ, just for reference and it's pretty speedy (I run Hur+Gifts in it).

I think I'd like to get an Elder's opinion on this one, you know, someone with authority.

Disclaimer: KIDDING. What kind of record do you have on that brow? (I am, for the first time, realizing there's no "N" in your name.)

Post by: browarod on October 09, 2011, 07:44:49 PM: Haha, no N. :P

I've only used it at one tourney so far, and I believe I had 2 straight-up wins and a timeout win (our playgroup is relatively small so we don't generally have many rounds).

I prefer a mix of Assyrians and Magicians over straight Assyrians.

Ok, so what's good for Magicians? I might start looking for those.

See 2nd paragraph and last sentence of the first post.

I've been going back and forth over PoJ, and the main reason it isn't there is because I don't have room. I had to take out some stuff that I liked to fit in the Micah tin stuff I got on Saturday. Suggestions on how to fit it in? And maybe also my Harvest Time (since my bro never draws souls? :P)

Invoking Terror, Egyptian Magicians. Maybe an Enchanter or Damsel to put Charms on.

Title: Re: Isaiah Assyrians Modified
Post by: Chronic Apathy on October 10, 2011, 08:47:53 AM: I'd be more inclined to just do Protection of Jerusalem with a bunch of Assyrians than I would a mix of Assyrians and Magicians, but that's me.
