Drop Egyptian Warden for Egyptian Charioteers.
Looks like a very unique deck. Needs Grapes. I'd also like Reach/AoCP just because it's an awesome combination. So...
OUT:
Egyptian Warden
I am Sustainer
Royal Parade
Prince Jonathan
IN:
Egyptian Charioteers
Reach
AoCP
Grapes of Wrath
Do that, and I really like this deck...I might have to try it. The Samuel and Oaken Angel addition is very creative, and I can see it being pretty effective. A Harvest Time, Hopper, and DoN would be ideal, but oh well.
-
I took Reach and AoCp out because it did squat with my Samuel + Jonathan etc. band but I may put it back in.
I only put IAS in cause I wasn't sure how popular Brown Decrease will be.
And I like the other suggestions I will make the changes.
-
Right now it seems like Brown Decrease seems really popular, but it's also really bad, so I'm guessing the novelty will die down. What are you afraid of? They can hit a few heroes. You can Chariots them back to life while winning souls with other heroes. With a deck this fast, they probably won't get what they need to stop ALL of your heroes.
Reach/AoCP is also usable on Simon the Zealot, who very well could be your best hero.
-
why is brown decrease (im assuming we're talking about sam-spam) bad?
gate can also hit ec's as well, not just heroes.
-
Because it's very limited and needs set up time.
-
set up time is negligible by the fact all the pieces of samspam play roles other than just being part of a combo. sites will be used to stall. the fortress protects the israelite kings. and the isrealite kings arent too shabby, and you kinda need them to play enhancements on too.
-
I guess time will tell. I'm planning on trying it, just because I always try site lock (except for last year, when it was dead).
-
Played a decrease deck tonight and it wasn't so much the decrease being the problem I had no site access. IaS might make its way back in until the decrease craze is over. Ill post more updates tomorrow.
-
Deck looked good tonight and was very fast. At one point in the game you had like 2 cards left in the deck and I still had like 29. MAybe more access?
-
ok i wanna throw my prophets vs this matt msg me with a good time for you

Updated!

Looks like you're trying to do too many things at once on the offense, but there is a lot of synergy so maybe it'll work. Have you tested it at all?
-
A few of us tested a I Samuel offense like this. It was pretty fast and a lot of fun! :)

Yea Ive used it a few times it has never lost at this point but it prably would have if my internet didn't fail while playing Clift. The only thing I really struggled with was site access after that game I put DR in.
