TGT...on RTS

Hey guys, I was trying to build a Garden Tomb deck on RTS today.  Any suggestions as to what defense I should use?  I was thinking Pharisees and Sadducees to kind of keep the theme going.

Ha, defense in type I. err sorry. hmm anyway.  Sadducees are pretty weak, so I would go with just pharisees if I was going with one of those defenses.

It really depends. Most of the stronger TGT decks tend to use a splashed theme (Disciples and/or NT Gold, generally), which doesn't often leave much room for defense. Pharisees are decent, smallish, and may add some much-needed speed to a TGT deck, especially if it's not using Disciples beyond John and Peter. Gardensciples tends to be slightly bigger, and doesn't need the speed as much, so a traditional standalone might be better in that case.

So Pharisees, Gomer, KoT, Uzzah, Sabbath Breaker, and Ammy's Slave for defense?

Vitellus > Breaker in todays meta.

Or use both.

They were actually suggesting just Gomer, KoT, Uzzah, Haman's Plot, Sabbath Breaker, and A Slave.

People don't use enhancements with them, they just use them to draw.

Balaams Disobediance is solid. But you probably won't get inish with Vitellus anyways, so no use using enhancements.

true...since Vitellius #'s are fairly high. Not sure if I have Disobedience.  I'll have to check.  If so, I can use him with Breaker.

A lot of people will pass to Vittles unless they want to keep their hero alive, assuming that there's nothing to play. Balaam's Disobedience might be a good choice if you plan on using both Vittles and Sabbath Breaker.

The chances of a Hero not having anything to win a rescue is extremely slim. Balaams D will be a dead draw if only using Breaker and Vitellus.

Yeah, now I'm thinking more towards if one uses a couple magicians, to use Balaam.

You have a lot of extra enhancements in here so I cut a bunch of them out.  I added in Susannah and Lydia since they are great for TGT decks.  I also added Phil and Bart for CBN protected banding and more characters to get off AoCp with.  I also switched out some arts, TGT doesn't have much protection from capture so Tassels is a must (and it stops soul-gen too) as is Grail to help you use the pre-block ignore on TGT.  Basically the changes I made help to streamline your deck a bit more by cutting down on fluff and centering it more on the power of TGT.
