Canaanites will be a popular defense, and Tower of Thebez laughs at FBTNB. Goliath is splashed, and he laughs at them (except for Abishai, but who is going to use him now?)Are you placing them in order in tier yet or just in tier?
This thread is beginning to show just how much this set will shake things up. It didn't completely ruin any old dominant strategies, but took them down a notch to allow other themes to compete.
I'm guessing Disciples and TGT will be less popular due to new strategies being introduced. I'm playing Judges/Silver because I love Moses. At least, I'll start with Judges/Silver. Probably will end up succumbing to a Red/Purple or Red/Teal deck.
One of the top ten was also a FBTNB...
also I heard there wasnt hardly any di sites seen at NATS. wierd.

One thing you guys are forgetting. Any offense that relies on a fortress (TGT and Job, I'm looking at you) has several hard counters in the new set. There are multiple cards that drop not only forts, but also arts and sites as well (Assyrian Siege Army probably the most versatile).
Also, you've haven't done the evil tiers yet. The new set gave boosts to several mediocre defenses (Assyrians, Babs, Egyptians), so they have to be redone too.
