Namaan's chariots and Horses, proud Pharisee, Pretension and, emperor Vitellius.
Wow.  Yup, totally had a brain fart, couldn't remember any of those except PP.

And even then, that list leaves out Heavy Taxes, Sabbath Breaker, and Denarius.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Yeah, just didn't feel like doing a massive quote.

However, all I've seen is Phars.  Emps get crushed by a simple CoT.

Lolz. That's nice. I prefer drawing ten cards and cbn winning the battle. Hey, that's just me. If you don't like drawing that many cards, Canaanites are NOT for you. You can kill yourself with Egyptians and have my abigail protect against your failed objective if you want. Or I just draw Miriam first turn and you never block. Lol which is actually what happened last tourney...  8) Not my deck, but props to Brandon Abbott for the Miriam.

Do you mind explaining how you reliably and consistently draw 10 with Canaanites?
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?

Define reliably.  ;) Drawing 5 seems extremely consistent. They also have the best site in the game, imo.

Also converting Woman at Thebez to a red hero and having Ishmaiah might not be the fastest draw engine in the game, but it's the most original.  ;D

I'd say that even with 2 CBI caananites do't have any interrupts so that weakens them.  Look, Egyptians have 3 CBN and they don't get a lot of playing time.

Pharaoh's throne room.  If you don't have it, you're doing something wrong.

Have you been playing Egyptians?  With such a small defense, the protect from conversion is great against HG.

A Converted Dreaming Pharaoh lets me D5 on my own turn. I'll take that.

Egyptian defenses are meant to fly through their deck, draw a bunch of cards, and get 2 max blocks and dom blocks. Hopes are the game is over by then. Failed Objective and Wonders Forgotten are the two aforementioned blocks.
