So I had someone tell me that TGT is not a viable offense by itself. I always love a good challenge.

I will definately look into the Herod stuff. Salome was actually one of the cuts I made to get down to 112. Blue is a major concern. It is the reason I have the lost souls that prevents OT ignore and  is one of the reasons I included unholy writ. Egytian archers also help out as well.

its need inturpt the battle and play next.  I also see this offense just going to sit there.  It may eventaly win but its going be because your opponate is decked.  Your hero ratio seams extremely small with out anyway to recurr them.

I'm confused on this
"So I had someone tell me that TGT is not a viable offense by itself. I always love a good challenge."

TGT using TGT heroes only you don't have
TGT using TGT and no enhacments you don't have       
So I don't see how this is TGT Only in any sense of the word

I agree that is helpful but Asher can recur that quite a bit and if they manage to recur asher thats 3 uses of JTE. The anti ignore ls can't stop it either. CBN set asides FTL.

Forgot that JTE is CBN, but the lost soul still stops RTC. Yes Asher can recur JTE, but if I am playing against a blue genesis offense I always save a wonders forgotten for when JTE is in the discard pile.

Looked into the Herod defense and am not quite sure how well it would work with my current set up. One of the herods, agrippa I believe, negates my own Pharaoh's Throne Room. I might try adding the herods without him and see how that works. I have also considered putting in evil spawn to give me another non-egyptian evil character.
