Post by: soul seeker on September 19, 2011, 03:53:30 PM: you need Captured Ark. Your defense will fall to "Blue Tassels" (which is gaining popularity).

Also, if you decide Black. Canaanites is a cheap and strong Defense that can be put together quickly. (Personally when playing Gray...I like Pharisees better but that is because I like to draw.)

Post by: Red Wing on September 19, 2011, 04:24:29 PM: If you want to add Black canaanites I would do something like this...

out
all sites
Heldai
book of gad or david's mighty men
emperor augustus
HT could probably go to

In
shechem
Lot's wife
syrian archer is there a reason he wasnt in there at first?
Stone of thebez
Abimelch
Gibeonite trick
Gibeonite Curse

lost souls that dont need sites

I was actually working on a defense for the deck similar to this to use on the idea that Shechem could move caputred heros to my opponent to give me more rescue chances.

Title: Re: Looking to revamp my Red deck
Post by: Red Wing on September 26, 2011, 09:20:44 PM: Needs Lot's Wife (W). She can band with any EC and makes Stone CBN. Bearing Bad news could Probably go since you only have three non-generic people.

Post by: Bobbobowitz on September 26, 2011, 09:29:00 PM: I was thinking of throwing in Wrath of Satan as well which is why I kept Altar in. I have a few free slots, I also need to figure out what to do with the Site lost souls

Wrath might be a good idea, but you need ECs who can get initiative like maybe Fallen Warrior and Lot's Wife.

Post by: Bobbobowitz on September 26, 2011, 10:09:10 PM: I'll see what I can do, I'll have to post in the market for some trades since I just bought quite a few cards (which helped make the deck yay!)
