He seems great with a free band and searching out temple, but what ends up happening is the band gets negated, leaving you with a hero you can't play anything on. Plus search has a lot more counters than it used.

Post by: EmJayBee83 on September 09, 2016, 09:09:39 AM: I used to play a Z's Temple T2 deck that had all of the banding, all the protection, and all the abusing of Fellowship Offering. It was really fun. Then they printed Scattered and the other underdeck cards. :(

I don't know how often Scattered and underdeck is played in the current meta. If it is seen on a regular basis, you most likely would need to completely rejigger the offense.

And what do *you* know about Philistine defenses?

Last bit was totally joking (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YxsVxuuFf0).

If you're considering to get back into the game on a competitive level, curious how your deck compares geographically, or want technical data about your deck. I would recommend getting a Deck Analysis done to your deck. This way you can make a decision whether to invest or not into your deck, or get an idea of which concepts to change.
