Magic Charms?

Magic Charms isn't new in an egypt deck... I'm with MKC, this doesn't seem to be anything really new at all.
-
New or not the deck looks solid. It will be able to compete.
-
Egyptians + Magicians = Magyptions

I thought of this a little bit ago. Never put it throught but this is cool. I wanna see how it plays

if milling is the theme here, then gabriel can be an easy splash. a gabe top-decked early can be devestating.
im also surprised to see no salome. yes, not an egyptian, but you already have plenty, and if milling is your strat, then you want as many oppurtunities to utilize it.
-
Both are excellent advice. Salome gets around Journey to Egypt and Jochebed. She can also get rid of Heroes captured by Enslaved by Egypt and Magic Charms.
-
im also wondering why you included caleb and men of judah, but no army of simeonites?
edit: im also sort of shocked i see no amalakites slave. not only is he staple-splash for 99% of decks, but hes also egyptian!

I don't splash him. That is what I have the hopper for. XD

cant harvest time or reveal TAS. :)

This is true. This is true...(Thinks about taking out hopper for TAS)
-
just do what i do. use both! :)

lol I don't have enough room for both. My deck is site lockout at 70 already...
-
Good point on Salome, I'll take Shishak out for her. But idk what to take out for TAS.
There's no Simeonites because there's nothing on offense that is less useful than they would be.
*Edit* Made some revisions, what do you think now?
-
pots wife for TAS. you'll usually have good initiative with archers, TAS, and tahpenes anyways.
in my version, i used king so instead of shishak. he can be pretty useful against lone fbtn heroes...not that we see those much anymore.
i also used high places/seemingly insignificant/pagan sacrifices/spreading mildew. seemingly insignificant/sacrifices fits the theme and has awesome cost: effect ratios (well, unless by chance your opponent top-decks a lost soul off of sacrifices on first hit), and mildew is necessary for fort control.
i was also wondering why you included kerith ravine. did you have a specific hero you wanted to keep in there to serve a specific purpose?
-
Jahaziel, son of Zechariah works best with Kereth Ravine, and it's good for keeping safe whomever I set aside with The Lord Fights for You.
I don't really fear FbtN Heroes since my whole defense is either CBN or FbtN itself.
I agree that those cards are quite nice, but I'm finding it difficult to justify adding four cards, none of which win battles and three of which depend on drawing the other, when I have so much in there that is both a mill and useful for other things. If I were to take it to 63 and somehow incorporate site lock I may add it, but I don't see where the four spaces would come from. Perhaps you do, though?
Are you sure I should take out Pot's Wife for TAS? It seems to me that the main point of TAS is to generate a LS, and Pot's Wife can generate more than one LS via my CBN Enhancements. Is there something about him I'm missing?
-
if you site lock, then you can't discard as much..

Yeah you can. Actually some of the cards needed for site lockout depends on egypt for the cbn status. I did it quite efficently. It was a beast. So awesome seeing a SOG and DoN go back to back. XD
-
i just added high places and the other 3 cards to my version because i felt it was very compatible to the theme and had good synergy with the other cards. i agree, in the end my deck probably wont have room for those 4 cards if i leave it at 56 and under.
i see your point on the pots wife, but i just feel TAS is a better utility card than the wife merely because it doesnt have to wait around for his ability to trigger.
also, i just added king so because i felt he was a better pick than shishak, and it also triggered the egyptian king portion of pharaohs throne room.

it has building egypt to pull a site out for every lost soul you have in play, but thats all that i can think of. unless you want to think rizpah's(sp) sackloth is one too.
