You really should add E.T., Lydia (G&H), reach of Desperation and words of encouragement
Switch John promo for G&H John, Ahimaaz for Phineas, Feast of trumpets for Pentecost.
As far as the defense goes I don't understand what your trying to do with it but either way
it doesn't appear to be working very well.
Just my  :2cents:

I would recommend reducing your deck to 50 cards, a speed deck has the most problems with other speed decks. If they have 6 less cards than you they are much more likely to draw dominants quicker.

I agree. I don't see what you are trying to do with your defense especially with TGT out. Your best bet is to stick with one color, imho, crimson or pale green, and that is it. No splashes or anything.

As others have already mentioned, you should stay at 50 cards.

On defense, splash is indeed the way to go if you want the best chance of making your TGT work.  The problem is that some of the splash you have in right now doesn't make much sense.  Egyptian Horsemen and King Menehem aren't going to make any successfull blocks.  There isn't a very good chance of them actually discarding a card that makes it worth giving up a free Lost Soul.  Cut them both and possibly add Red Dragon for more splash, stand alone blocking goodness.  The Pit isn't worth the room it takes up in this deck.

Your offense is all over the place.  Try to narrow it down to 3 brigades at most.  I'll agree with JSB23 that adding Lydia to the white, and ET to the purple (in place of James) are both good choices.  I'd take out all the good red cards to add another teal hero (Phinehas comes to mind) and Pentecost.  For your other purple Enhancements I'd suggest using only Reach + AoC (promo if you have it).  For the white Enhancements I would only use Blessings and He is Risen.

Hopper and Harvest time are also great additions when you need to rescue early and often like you do with a Speed deck.

Last tip, add at least one more Site access.  You will get locked out with only Dragon Raid.

Build a new defense
If you have the cards Crimson Babylonians work very well
Other than that if follow our suggestions you should do fine

No you don't. You've been given tons of advice. You need to follow the advice you already have.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

+1  When people disregard good advice that's given to them it makes me reluctant to ever waste my time trying to help them again.

I wouldn't put mary's seven demons in either. You really only want evil characters that can win by themselves; philistine garrison, red dragon, prince of this world, king of tyrus, etc.
As a national champion, I support ReyZen deck pouches.

I'm confused. How come you want to splash in a TGT deck?

If you play a solid color defense in your TGT deck and you face an opponent that's playing the same color defense, you'll have a harder time getting your TGT to work.  Any Evil Character you put in play help your opponent and allow them to surprise block you from hand.

If you play a splash of effective blockers from different brigades, when you face an opponent that's using the same brigade as one of your characters you can keep that character in your hand so that you don't help them block against TGT.  If you need to, you'll still be able to put your Evil Characters from other brigades into play.

Another good reason to use a splash defense in speed or TGT is that you often only need to make a few, one time blocks with characters like Uzzah.  You don't need a defense that can last a really long time since your offense wins before your opponent gets to play out their entire strategy.

I don't want to be a drag in asking for advice and starting that thread again. The current record for this deck is 7-1. It has performed very well and I would like to thank everybody for their imput. You have made it what it is. Now. The district tournament where I live is week from today (Saturday.) I would like some more advice before the tournament but if not, that is okay. thanks guys!!!!!

Remember. you have to go against my deck too lol XD j/k but i think that you should throw in ark of the covenant. With the ignores from white, even iif they stay alive ark will take care of the pesky ones you cannot beat with the ignores.
