I will be going to a tournament this week and want to play just a Teal offence.


 Would like some advice on which cards could I put in or take out to make it overall better.  (at the moment , I do not own the latest Rock of ages tin that has the other teal cards in it)

                                 I would probably end up having a deck that would be 56 cards maximum in total.
  Cards in deck: 23


Fortresses: 1
   Zerubbabel's Temple

Artifacts: 3
   Altar of Incense
   Ram's Horn
   Urim and Thummim

Teal Heroes: 10
   Amariah the High Priest
   Eliashib the High Priest
   Ezra
   Jaddua, son of Jonathan
   Joiada, Son of Eliashib
   Jonathan son of Joiada
         Joshua the High Priest
   Phinehas, son of Eleazar
   Seraiah the High Priest
   Zechariah (green/teal)

Multi-Color / Teal Hero Enhancements: 9
   Burning Incense
   Filling Zerubbabel's Temple
   His Name is John
   Holy unto the Lord
   Jehoiada's Strength
   Pentecost (Purple/Teal)
   Perpetual Priesthood
   The Sabbath (multi color)
   Zeal for the Lord

 
Reason why I have chosen these certain heroes is because most of them are Zerubabbel's temple priests (not all) and would be protected by Zerubabbel's temple and also have a few enhancements that give all heroes CBN (for one battle only) and artifact CBI.   

 Not sure about defense yet , but I might end up having a mostly black brigade only Sadducees defense.




 

 

You *really* want to add Fellowship Offering.

I have played with an offense like this, and a few cards I found worked well were Scapegoat and Zerubbabel himself. I know he is white, but getting him early in the game is really great. Scapegoat is great too, especially since you'll may well have some big numbers in battle. Fellowship Offering and Grain Offering are nice since Joiada can play both right out of the discard pile, but I would get Scapegoat in first. I second the idea of cutting Ezra since in theory your guys won't be captured. . . maybe if your defense captures you leave him in. I like Ram's horn. The thing with the priests is that they are slow, so I would try to get a little speed in you defense.

Come to think of it would adding Melchizedek (teal/Purple) and AoC (promo) work better with the teal deck I have?

That wouldn't be a bad idea, but if you do that, I would put in King Hiram as well for some else to play AoCP on and he can search out Z's Temple. If you put in those three, I would cut Ezra, Perpetual Priesthood, and Jehoiada's Strength.
