Post by: Rubber band warrior on February 28, 2009, 01:31:20 PM: If you're sticking with royalty and a huge offense, I'd still probably take out John/James and put in a couple other standalone guys, i.e. Nero, Prince of the Air, or maybe a Seven Sons if you want to recur Trembling Demon.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: michael/michaelssword on February 28, 2009, 01:33:29 PM: yah but I'm using the promo John for a sneak peak of their deck:)
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: SoulSaver on February 28, 2009, 01:34:20 PM: Take out John and James for King Jotham, and a stand alone like Nero/King of Tyrus/Prince of this World.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: SoulSaver on February 28, 2009, 01:36:04 PM: You're wasting a turn when you take a peak at their deck.

+1 king Jotham is awesome.

Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: michael/michaelssword on February 28, 2009, 05:21:30 PM: ok I took out John/James for King Jotham and ET and PoTWis in thereI just forgot to list him
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: lightningninja on February 28, 2009, 08:14:34 PM: Ah... another deck without a substantial defense.... just try one, Caleb. :)

Make it 56. Royalty, although is good with a small deck, you want 56... trust me. And I disagree. You want chariot of fire for King Lemuel, so you can discard heroes and still get them back. Take out anything that isn't royalty, except the John starter for two reasons:

Take advantage when a GT deck pwns the defense
Prevent this exact kind of defense ;)

Post by: crustpope on March 02, 2009, 02:43:49 PM: yeah, basically you are putting all your eggs in one basket. You are betting that this deck will beat them to the finish line and while it might against most decks, a Garden tomb deck will beat this one almost every time. with walk in wins. They would only have to stall you a couple of times to beat you.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: michael/michaelssword on March 05, 2009, 07:24:59 PM: new defense what you think?
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: SoulSaver on March 06, 2009, 04:08:10 PM: I absolutely HATE the new defense! ::)

*aw* why?
because it's not a defence... defence imply's resistence.

on a side note, I'd switch Emperor Otho for Egyptian Warden.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on March 06, 2009, 04:32:18 PM: Replace Love of Money with Dance of Death, in my opinion. Or better yet, Lying unto God.

My reason being Love of Money lets you use more brigades, you only have multi color. Atleast in the case of John or something the other two can be helpful.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: BubbleBoy on March 06, 2009, 04:53:11 PM: Yes, take out Otho for SSoS, and take out Love of Money for Dance of Death.

Warden is more scary then SSoS. IMO... have a Zimri and a Warden, they'll think twice about attacking you.
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: BubbleBoy on March 06, 2009, 05:14:39 PM: Yeah, I agree completely with that, but Caleb only has two MC evil enhancements, and I don't suppose he'll be wanting to add any more.

Post by: michael/michaelssword on March 09, 2009, 08:28:39 PM: hey would anyone think it'd be a good idea to add Hur/Gifts and plague of frogs(if so what cards should I take out?)
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: lightningninja on March 10, 2009, 09:12:17 PM: Nope. Not everything has to be speed. :D
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: michael/michaelssword on March 10, 2009, 09:22:06 PM: what about First Fruits and Feast of Trumpets for Torment and SSoS
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: lightningninja on March 10, 2009, 09:24:20 PM: NO!

That's an interesting comment coming from the guy that once told me his purple royalty offense was "speed". ;)
Title: Re: My first ever Royalty
Post by: lightningninja on March 11, 2009, 05:02:54 PM: I said it drew fast... not that it was speed. ;) And it didn't have gifts... so it couldn't be speed. :D
