Title: My Version of Starter Deck J
Post by: Lampy 2.0 on January 16, 2014, 05:29:06 PM
I decided to take the themes from Starter Deck J and tweak them a bit. But this time, I threw out the grey brigade entirely.  So here's what I came up with.

Silver Brigade:
Angel Under The Oak
Angel With The Secret Name
Birth Foretold

White Brigade:
Ruth
Naomi
Boaz
Elders of the City
Gleaning The Fields
Love At First Sight
Devotion of Ruth

Gold Brigade:
Gideon (Limited)
Jair
Moses
Samson
Samuel
Battle Prayer
Deborah's Directive
Gideon's Call
Trumpets and Torches
Samuel's Edict

Orange Brigade:
Unclean Spirit
Controlling Demon
Legion
Fallen Angel
Seven Wicked Spirits
Strong Demon
Trembling Demon
Persistent Pestering
Hypocrite's Proselyte
Evil Armor
Suicidal Swine Stampede (This is one of the best names on a game card I've ever heard, BTW!)
Worse Than The First
Deafening Spirit
Following Demons
Pride Before Calamity

Dominants:
Son of God
New Jerusalem
Christian Martyr
Burial

Multi-Color:
When Judges Governed

Artifact:
Tables of the Law

Forts:
Judge's Seat
Tartaros

Lost Souls:
Rejoice
NT Only
Lost Souls
Can't Be Prevented
Shame
Demon Discard
Lost Soul (I need to find one to properly fit this deck.)

I'm curious as to your choice to replace the J deck Gideon with the Limited one.

Probably because the limited one gets better inish to play samys edict.

Precisely.

I am wondering why you took out the grey, and all the hand control, since it is one of the things that makes the J deck the J deck.

I wanted to experiment with an orange defense. That, and I don't have a lot of Romans in my collection.

Are there really that many popular ECs with 7 strength that you need to worry about the extra 2 toughness? I don't think I've ever seen the difference in numbers matter.

On topic: What about adding Spirit of Temptation? You can mess with their hand and steal one of their ECs for the battle (or band to one you stole with SWS). Win-win. :P

I could probably add Spirit of Temptation to the deck. Sounds like fun! :)

Also, this is probably the only time I've felt satisfaction when playing with the orange brigade.
