I really like this approach.  How do you protect Paul from capture if they IOJ or Destructive Sin Obadiah's Caves?  Or is Paul immune to those cards?

I am Redemption.

Darius's decree?

What about it? I don't use set asides.

I saw this in there, but how soon can you activate it?  What stops an opponent from capturing Paul and then quickly burying him or rescuing him with their own SOG?

If they do that, they get props for doing so. Most of the time SOG/NJ has been played long before they deck out.

How are you going to convert Saul/Paul to a Hero?

Holy Grail

an Alter of Ahaz might help. I'd switch it for Hidden Treasures.

that is pretty pwn.
has anyone ever seen an evil character less deck?

yeah. Mike Turnage (sp?) was the first.

Turnidge. And yes, I'll never forget the first time I played against a deck with no Evil Characters. And lost.

Neither will I. Sadly he doesn't play anymore or we'd have a win/loss record for heroless vs defenseless.

Man great deck! I like it! 

I'm glad you like it, since you will have to play against it at the next Orlando tournament you attend. 

Depends on my mood Tee-hee <3

I came up with a pretty sick Silver defenseless.....

Oh yeah, that's if I get paired up against it. On a side note, your brothers in the South are getting plenty of practice! 
Plus, the group is growing with about 3+ new people getting into Redemption.

Great to hear! We look forward to future tournaments, especially since there is a new host in town, Deist, over in western FL. We should have a rowdy Florida state tournament this year. 

how does DD discard paul he isnt set aside?
