This is new.  I haven't seen a mostly teal-based speed deck before.  New, by the way, isn't bad; it's good  :)  Hur w/gifts will probably only work once, on account of the fact that you have no enhancements and if they block you die.  Unless, of course, it's a rescue and you AotL them ;D you need a way to get rid of a fortress, in case they, for example, play egyptians and have the throne room up.  Wait... scratch that; you do.  Trumpet blast. DUH!! :P  There are a few other things, but right now, i'm feelin to lazy to post them ::)

There are a few things I would take out and add. What I have above is a start to how I would start to change this deck. You now have 13 card slots open to make this deck better. To tell you the honest truth, it's just too slow to attack and overwhelm your opponent like an offensive deck is supposed to. That by its self makes this deck not viable to compete at a high level. I'm not trying to shoot down your deck, I'm just trying to help you out. I've played with a deck like this for a very long time, so I've had first hand experience what the capabilities of this deck are. Not so good... :-\

There's a few cards you need:

coat of many colors and abel's sacfafice for hur(as in to work with him, not instead of him). And no, it doesn't have enough firepower or drawing to compete with high level decks. You need cards like king david, ET, aocp, love at first sight, generous widow, gideon's call, stuff to use with gifts. Right now it's just a weak teal offense. Take out pretty much ALL the teal.

SoulSaver, I don't have POC, Promised Land, or Uzzah. So I can't make those changes. I liked having Trembling Demon, SSoS, and Torment because that gives me 3 solid blocks, should I really take those out?

imo this is not a speed deck but a "fasterish" deck with Priests thrown in (but in this case it might be the other ways around....) imo pick one or the other, both mixed together is 1. not fast enough to make worth putting in Hur and buds and 2. puts you at a weak point for having weaker then average teal because of these random fast cards. Just my thoughts  :)

Ill post later sample deck lists for Teal stuff. But till then ill say ive found that you either want to combo teal with either Purple/Teal (which is very strong with aocp and the kings), combo teal with silver/teal (which has fun O.T warriors class banding chains and when using Table of showbread is UBER) or use a strong Teal only mainly using Z Temple.

 :scratch: Just try to make a new speed deck. I'd definitely try to include teal, just don't make it your main weapon in your speed deck.

Austin (musicain [which should be musician]), STOP being rude.  Just because you are on the internet and not talking to someone doesn't mean that you can just say whatever you want.   >:( >:( >:(

Don't insult people who are much better at Redemption than you.  If fact, don't insult anyone like that.

Not to come off mean, but the last person (Theraven878) lost all help on these boards for the same kinda attitude a while back. He did change and now is actually not that hard to talk to about his decks but thats beside the point. Being rude, not listening, and then asking for help doesn't work. Being nice, Trying out the ideas (even if they dont work), and then asking for more help does. Also if you have a reason for not liking a suggestion, tell us why! We may know something you don't.

Back to the topic of my deck, is there anything else I need to change? I'm kind of interested in a Teal/Purple offense. Maybe someone can help me better understand how that would work.

umm excuse me you guys say that i need to read posts befor i respond well i told you guys like 5 times i try to do the best i can but my grammer check is not here and i dont want to do spell check on any thing els cause it take's to long and i only get a HR on the computer.

and guys im sorry im rude on here but like i told you i hate it when correct me on my grammer and if you guys didnt do that i would not have been rude and if you dont do it i wont be rude if that make seince.
1. Get Firefox. It does spellcheck for you.
2. You're not sorry you're rude because you continue to be rude.
3. If you don't use suck grammar and spelling, we won't correct you and you won't have to hate it.
4. If this is the best you can do without a grammar check, you're going to fail at life when you try to get a job.

And that's the problem. But Schaef, could get a lock? I was trying to provide deck help... but there's too much flame, and I'm getting burned. Send me a PM in you want more help on your deck, man, cause hopefully this will get locked.

about the ridiculous conflict:  Yes it can be difficult to read musician's posts and he seems to often be immature.  However, his profile indicates he is 13 and I cut him some slack.  None of us are perfect and I do not think we would want to be judged as harshly as he sometimes is.  The Bible exhorts us to be slow to anger, quick to listen, and consider other's interests above our own.  We can challenge people like musician to be better but it says to speak the truth in LOVE.

about the deck:

I don't think I'm the best but I have some experience with this (my teal speed deck placed 10th at Natz last year).  I think teal has great speed with all the set-asides.  I also think teal is great to combo with; I used teal/white before, I'm currently trying teal/green, and I've wanted to try teal/purple.

first thoughts for changes:
I would have the Revealer lost soul in for speed.  I would take out the NT.  You can't play SoG/NJ on it to deny your opponent access.  If your opponent manages to exchange it, it will slow you down which you don't want with speed.

Take out Burial Shroud.  A good speed deck should never have two turns that they don't want to rescue.

With 10 heroes, I think you can afford to take out I am healing.  I think another hero would be better.  There are a lot of great hero abilities and it will help ensure you draw a hero quickly (essential). 

I might switch a access site for the Amelikites Slave.  You get to search for a defensive guy and add a lost soul which is always helpful versus only good against site decks.
I would try to add Uzzah and Captured Ark.

A personal favorite of mine is adding I am Holy.  With an offensive speed deck, I've always had a good card available to discard and it has often severely limited or decimated my opponent's defense.  With speed you can also end up having too many cards in your hand and this gives them a purpose instead of just throwing them in the discard pile.

Lastly, why 50 cards?  Presumably it is to draw your cards faster but my friend and I did the math and you'll draw your 51st card on the same turn as your 50th.  Since Hopper doesn't count against your draw then you can go to 52 and be equally as fast.  (since the draw cards are draw 3, they don't alter the number of turns)
