Title: The point is to go as fast as possible...
Post by: Wings of Music on March 14, 2012, 11:10:15 PM
OK I've updated this thing a lot with the new rule changes, what do y'all think?  It's at 52 Cards, I've got decent soul gen, and lots of speed, I can reuse Sam by putting a David beneath deck with invoking terror, I've also got provisions and first fruits in for even more drawing.  What I would really like is more soul generation considering how fast this deck is.  Oh I have the */4 only since my opponents can't use SoG or NJ on it.

How many times have you been able to get Hur+Gifts off? Without any green backup, it seems a little of place. And how many cards is it?

Its a 52 card deck from what I see

It's currently 51 cards.  When I pull of Hur+Gifts it's usually with AotL or if I band Aaron + Hur. I'm totally open to ideas as to what to do here, I'm thinking that I definitely want to make room for First Fruits as well as U&T.  So that begs the question, should I oust the red?

Trumpet and sword I have never found useful. You could swap it for one of those 2 cards.

In U&T, out T&S

Sorry for the double post, but I would like to point out that I have updated this deck significantly.  I've also made it a lot faster, I've added First fruits (+4), Provisions (+2), and Invoking terror (lets me reuse David for Sam's drawing).  So this begs the question, was adding more speed the right choice for me?  I think so, but who knows I may change my mind after a few weeks of dom cap...

I'd consider Abiathar instead of Ahimaaz since Abiathar can band to Sam.

Good suggestion I didn't think about him.

Instead of using Invoking Terror to put David back in your deck, you could just use King Saul. Of course, IT could give you a block if you needed it…

Also, A Soldier's Prayer is really awesome with Bravery of David. You can exchange it for BoD, then recur it. I'd use that instead of Battle Cry.

hmmm I can see that, the thing is that, gives me less reason for Ahimilek without Battle Cry, so I might as well take him out.  However if I take Ahimilek out there's less reason for ASP becasue I'll have less red... Any different ideas?

I think I'll leave in invoking terror, I can always use it as a battle winner or to nail an annoying hero in territory if need be.  I think I'll leave it for now, if I find I don't use it I'll take it out.

I'd try to fit in some more Gold- like Gideon and Sam's Edict. It won't really add speed, but it'd give you another CBN battle winner plus a bullet-proof hero.

I think it's fast enough.  I actually decided to take out FF (it pained me a little but not too much) and Israelite archer for Gideon and Sam's edict.

 :bump:

I've made some more changes (I know I've changed this deck a lot...)

I've finally given up on Ahimilek, I found that without Amazing in there he wasn't worth it.  I've added in Israelite Archer and TSA for more FBTNB. 

In:
ASP, TSA, IA

Out:
Ahimilek, The Silver trumpets, Battle Cry.

Any more suggestions on what to do?
