Title: Propherods
Post by: browarod on April 27, 2011, 03:57:31 PM: I've been wanting to try a Prophets deck since Disciples hit, and the Herod defense didn't seem to clash with this as much as it did with my Disciples offense (unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible), so I think I'm gonna give this a try. Would very much like feedback, though.

Basic strategy is to get Gabe and Birth Foretold then alternate rescues with John the Baptist + Birth Foretold protection and Gabe to recur BF.

Currently it has too many cards, but I'm not sure what to take out, or what could/should be swapped.

Revealer
Wanderer
Luke 13:25
Luke 16:20-21

CP
Golgotha
Chorazin
Herod’s Dungeon

Dominants: 9
SoG
NJ
Grapes
GoYS
AotL
CM
Mayhem(experimentally)/Burial
DoN
FA

Fortresses: 2
Obadiah’s Caves
Herod’s Temple

Artifacts: 4
Hidden Treasures
Unholy Writ
Chariot of Fire
Lampstand

Heroes: 7
John the Baptist
Anna
Micah
Simeon
~~Nathan~~
Habakkuk
Seraph
Gabe (Di)

Hero Enhancements: 7
Baptism of Jesus
Plague of Frogs
Provisions
Search
Two Bears
Birth Foretold
Striking Herod

Evil Characters: 7

I very much appreciate all the comments on my Gen-Babs deck, but this is really the one I wanted the most advice on, haha.

INB4: "add Mayhem cuz it rocks!" Same reasons here as the other thread.

I'd take out Archelaus and Escape to Egypt. Add Mayhem.

I've put it in at least one deck before, never actually played it ever, though. Far too situational for my tastes.

Mayhem is great don't take it out.

Post by: browarod on April 29, 2011, 07:29:18 PM: Why Burial? I've found it infinitely more useful than Mayhem. *puts on bulletproof vest*

Also, Escape to Egypt + HA2 = CBN battle-winner, why would I take that out?

Post by: browarod on April 29, 2011, 09:21:13 PM: I COULD use the Lost Souls LS, the non-site LSs were kinda just random additions picked from the usual suspects, so I'm not dead-set on them. Otherwise, I see your point and am willing to remove Burial.

Escape is a withdraw, HA2 has a CBN ability that triggers upon withdraw, therefore Escape (like Treachery) + HA2 = CBN battle-winner (assuming there's 2 or less heroes in battle).
