Is there a reason you're playing Black/Grey and don't have Antiochus?

Apparently the summary took him and the greek demon off of the list. I have both of them.

Since you don't use any capture yourself, I would swap I am Redemption for Blue Tassels. That's just a style preference tho, (reactive vs proactive), both can be effective.

I like I Am Redemption better since it does the same thing as Blue Tassels but it also return all your heroes that were captured before you activate the artifact.
Anything else?
-
I Am Redemption doesn't help you at all during battle. It isn't nearly the same. I would also recommend Blue Tassels.

Wow. :o I've been playing it wrong this whole time. I though it had a second part saying prevent capture. Well... I'll defently change it now
-
You may have been thinking of Cov-o-Palestine, which is not as good because it's a prevent.

Yea, that's what I was thinking of. Even though it's just a prevent, I still don't mind risking going against a CBN capture and the next turn get them back compared to having something else active/get captured/have no way to get them back.
-
The thing is, with Blue Tassels active, even CBN captures won't work, because it is a protect. I would still suggest that over Palestine.
-
Yeah, the worst capture cards are the ones that end up being CBN, otherwise you can just use negates like any other battle-winner.

I LOVE this deck, I just think the defense needs to be beefed up. Maybe lighten up the heroes/good enhs 1 or 2 a piece so you have 3-4 spots for more defense. Then you could take out House of Bethany, Hormah, Temple Veil, and Gifts of the Magi, all for more defense. That way you can just A-bomb your way to victory.

House Of Bethany goes with my heroes (especially against demons :))
Temple Veil is my site access artifact (I played a sitelock deck at Natz so I know that relying on just one site isn't good)
Gifts Of The Magi let's me draw crazy since a lot of good Luke cards makes your opponent draw and why should they be the only ones to benefit ;)
Hormah I do want to take out. I'm not sure what to replace it with, though.
Also, in my RL deck, I have Go Into Captivity instead of Darius' Decree. Should I switch my RTS deck back to that or keep the artifacts the way they are?
I added the two missing evil characters and corrected my covenant.
I tested my RL version against a Kings/Syrian deck I made for some one and learned that Antiochus IV Epiphanes is quite nasty at the end game ;D
