No wonder... you have Haman's Plot EVERY game. ::)
Seriously... not a whole lot I can say. Seems pretty good. By the way... when I played you, was that this deck?
-
It was a close cousin. I added Hormah, A slave, and a few other cards since then.
If I play this deck at a tourny (where ripping is necessary), I still use HP. Once I rip it, both brown ECs are still useful. HP is an emergency card.
-
Ah, okay. The only thing I can suggest is to switch to purple. :D
-
Overall or more purple splash?
-
This deck looks gooood. Just a question: why ezra? Most of the time, your heroes can't be captured anyway.
I'd've put in someone like Ahimaaz, but that's just me. ;)
-
Ezra is there because he is a Z-Temple Priest w/ House of E. He has full protection and low numbers (5/5). In addition, he can get back my heroes if captured before Z-Temple comes. Also, in a pinch, he can band to the heroes I capture. (Writ).
Do you think I should switch him? If I did, it would only be for another full protection hero. (I REALLY need the new district promo) =D
-
I'd take out ezra and a teal enhancement(probably grain offering) to throw in melzhizideck(roa) and either reach of desperation or peace treaty, depending on which one you like more.
-
I think you could take out ET and AoCpromo, and maybe add another teal hero that bands.

Or a green hero named Haggai. ;)

Why didn't I think of that! BRILLIANT BEN! ;)
-
Well, this deck just lost to RR's Egyptian deck. :P
Why take out ET & AoCp? It is a very powerful combo.
Also, what is the advantage of Haggai?
-
Updated! Please comment!
This new version adds more purple and takes out some of the bad teal cards (Grain Offering).

So far, it is: 36-6.
What caused the 6 losses?
-
One was to RR's Egyptian deck. Arggg
The others were huge LS draws without any defense. Those 6 also include loses from previous versions of this deck, which were weaker. So, IDK for sure.
Any ideas?
-
The others were huge LS draws without any defense.
You have space for four cards without having to add a Lost Soul. If you are short on defense then I'd suggest adding some defensive cards. Unholy Writ, King Zimri, Lying Unto God, and TormentJerusalem Tower seem like a good bunch.
-
I have Unholy Writ in there. I really want to stay at 52 cards because this needs to be fast.
Zimri and LuG might work, but it is tough.
What about Doubt? It is a one card block that sometimes works? =D I haven't used it before however.
-

Yeah, and you sacrifice deck balance so you will inevitably lose because of "bad draws" every so often. First Fruits would be a good add also I think.
-
I like the idea of First Fruits. Unfortunately, I don't have it.
Any comments on Doubt? Is it good, or not helpful from experience?
-
I'd only use it if you had some orange or vs. a single FbtN Hero.
