I dunno I feel like I don't have enough heroes at times. Maybe Soldier of God, or Simeon would be a good add, but then it would be getting further from the judges theme. Kinda weak against FBTN on both offense and defense. Egypt would be worth adding for enslaved. I think some of the cards may be overkill. I had Sword against Sword, and The Sabbath in their but took them out for more defense. Kinda rusty on deck building, haven't played much the last couple years. I haven't used gold defenses much, so I'm probably missed something. Maybe failed objective. I figured the discarding would help weed out the opponents evil characters a bit faster, and occasionally take out a dominant.

Take a look, ask questions. I may edit more in later. Also you need EVIL SPIRIT/Wall of Prot.

The only way to use him is the stars, for which you have only one angel to band in. :( For gold offense, the judge you wanna have is ibzan. All that judges stuff would be cbn; replacing seekers for ibzan might be a good idea. I would replace capturing caanan w/ sword against sword, because Capturing caanan can only work against humans, while SAS can work against anyone. You make their character fight your KoT; it can't be negated if used by a judge.

Post by: Captain Falcon on February 25, 2009, 11:32:51 AM: In my post, i accidentally said "the start" instead of the stars :P my bad. I forgot about battle cry :P double my bad. I'll change "the start" now.

Do you think 70 cards is more viable now with the deck destruction decks out there, and the more variability in decks currently? Go into Captivity looks like better fit than writ now that I look at it closer, unknown nation is great, spreading mildew would be nice for wall, and the protection fortresses, that can get in the way of judges seat, and banding. love the defense in your deck, doesn't look like much could get threw it with the size, a ton of their deck gets nuked.

Post by: SoulSaver on February 25, 2009, 04:12:21 PM: Yes you are correct Sir! Destruction decks like TKP boy plays with are very strong, and have a large success rate. This type of deck does run the risk of timing out in tournament play more than your average deck.

Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on February 25, 2009, 04:18:07 PM: +1 But if you learn your deck and play quickly you shouldn't have that issue. My 70 carders have not timed out cept once cuz I got locked out (not the above deck)

I always liked big decks, I think 70 is extremely viable
