Zeresh Advises Haman
First thing everyone will notice is....."NO HAMAN'S PLOT?!?!?!?!?!" I will never use it in tournaments because of the ripping part mainly because most of the time, Haman's Plot is the only card I have/receive from packs that is worth trading (basically, it's my currency :P).
I know that my defense has a huge lack of battle winners. However, since this is a site-lock, I included ways to make sure they can't get to my lost souls.
I'm tempted to put Zeresh in my deck (since I'll have Haman) but don't know who I would get out.
I originally had the offense pure red but after facing a judges offense at the last tournament (and that I'll be getting tin 18 for my Sadducee deck anyways), I thought I'll try to make another splash (for a guy who likes mono offense/defense, only one of my decks will now have a mono offense :P).
I first had some disease cards to go along with Face Of Death in case I didn't have my curse up in time. However, I exchange those out for cards that are meant for site-lock decks (like Vineyard). I am thinking of getting rid of Face of Death and Plagued with Diseases but just can't get myself to miss out on the fun of that combo. Should I keep it or not?
Wit Stronghold, the reason why I have it is because 1) I can protect my red heroes until I'm ready to fight with them and 2) I can see the fun of destroying their defense with Judges seat then using stronghold to kick them when their down :). I might take it out after a couple of runs with this deck.
Any advise will be helpful.
As always, please give me your reasons for swapping cards. I do take some time figuring out each cards and would need to know your logic to see why your choice would work better with this deck.
God Bless

Well, I use a Brown sitelock deck, but since I haven't played it much I don't know how good it is compared to yours. So, I think I'll just post it, and you can do with it what you want. :P
ECs: 7
King Joram
King Omri
Uzzah
Complainers (works GREAT, especially if their site access card doesn't work for the one you switch in - also works good with conversion, where I can pick one of their ECs that is now a hero that doesn't fit w/their offense)
Athaliah
King Ahaziah (to help pull out Athaliah after he is used a time or two)
Idolaters (just for init.)
EEs: 7
Zelophehad's Sin
Paul's Girdle (If they using Promised Land or NJ for acces, you burn up one use without them getting anything)
Self-Doubt (same as PG)
Taking Naboth's Vineyard (of course)
Threatened Lives
Land Purchase
Jealousy
WITH:
HoH
Samaria
Babylon
Babylonian Banquet Hall
Now, this is in a deck that isn't really tournament ready, but that's more because of the offense. Please use this to help make your deck better!

I actually decided not to use Athaliah because with all the different types of offense and the fact that no one has purple yet in my playgroups, I don't see the point of having her in my deck instead of some other EC.
Thanks for helping :).
Anyone else? I especially would like some advise on the offense side.

Athalia is there for initiative, not her SA.
