ditch this deck and download rts and hamachi and join the Redemption Official Online Tournament

will you just shut up andy? That is not helpful advice. Don't just tell someone to "ditch their dec".

Now, I do say download RTS

I'll comment on your deck when I'm not on school. I like the look of it

well what do you expect me to say?! idk what's in his collection!

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #4 on:** March 19, 2009, 10:55:24 PM »

Definitely not ditch it! Make some suggestions or ideas. Not knowing his collection is no excuse for rudeness.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2009, 10:57:06 PM »

i didn't say it to be rude

Captain Falcon · « **Reply #6 on:** March 19, 2009, 11:28:25 PM »

Defense is too big. 17 cards is way too big; i'd say tune it down to 16, w/ 9 characters and 7 enhancements. Don't think of me as crazy; 9 and 7 is actually really good, when played right and w/the right cards. I've a crimson deck and, after changing my offense, i won the first tournament i played it in. As for the offense, you need chariot of fire. Why jephthah? If you can get your hands on one, you need a Joshua the high priest as well; replace him w/ jephthah. Cut down the enhancements to 8. Instead of purying the unclean, put in scapegoat, and for phinehas's spear, jordan interrupted.

Gabe · « **Reply #10 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:33:32 AM »

I agree with TH3 UNF0RG1V4BL3 that your evil character/enhancement ratio is off. His suggestion of 9 characters and 7 or 8 enhancements is a good one. At least use 8 evil characters minimum. It looks like you probably have Arioch. Babylonian Forces is another decent addition. Same with Red Dragon.

If you have it or can get it Headquarters at Riblah is an importan card to use with a Babylonian defense.

A teal offense needs to have the Wanderer LS. Teal doesn't have much access to the female or NT LS so the exchange will help you make additional rescues.

Joshua the High Priest is one of the best teal characters. If you don't have one you should to try to get one. He's a relatively inexpensive rare.

Hope you find this helpful. Enjoy!

crustpope · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:56:42 AM »

What about subbing out Raiders camp for HQ at Riblah? If could also be bait for your T-blast.

I dont like jepthah in this deck. I would sub in another z-temple priest I'd sub in altar of Insence instead of Cov of Phineas b/c it covers all your priests and haggai and not just the ones from the house of Eleazar, plus it makes burnign's incense CBN. Altar of insense up in a glorified temple (can Z-temple be glorified? I just realized that GotL says solomon's temple?) would be a nice combo.

I've switched PtU for JI, and have switched out Jephthah for CoF. I don't, however, have a Joshua the HP, but I might be able to get one. Who should I switch out for him?
I'm also working on the defence, but what are some good characters I should add? What are some enh. I can take out for the characters?

I don't have HQ at Riblah, or Joshua, or the Wanderer LS. I'm seeing if I can't get them from Tim at the tournament next Sat. (where I'm going to use this deck). Also, if I were to switch to a Babylonian defense, what are some good cards that I should add? What are some cards I can take away for the new cards? Thanks for the help!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Also, wouldn't Cov. with Phin. be better than Altar of Incense? I ask because AoI protects all priests, but only from evil enhancement discards, where as Cov. w/Phin. only protects priests from the HoE, but it's from all evil cards, including dominants. So, which is better to have in this deck?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2009, 03:04:43 PM »

Cov with Phin is my personal choice. Although Altar of Incense makes Buring Incense CBN, you are correct about Cov with Phin. It is the best IMO.

I would definitely try to get Joshua. He IMO is one of the best heroes in the game.

Mageduckey · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:31:42 PM »

Question, though - is Burning Incense an offering? If so, then AoI would be better, since I can recur it with Joiada. So, is Burning Incense an offering or not? I would look it up in the REG, but my computer can't get to REG for some reason...

Thanks!

Gabe · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:38:24 PM »

Burning Incense is not an offering.

Mageduckey · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:42:28 PM »

That stinks. I guess I'll stay with Cov. with Phin. then. So, what else should I change to make it better (i.e., how should I change the defense)?

I mean, cut out one card out of the defense

Mageduckey · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:57:32 PM »

Which defense would be best for a Z-Temple deck (Babylonian, Egyptian, etc.)?

I guess I'm simply asking because I want to make sure I win.

Though, for the defense, what if I played a Brown defense w/site lockout? Or would that take too many cards? If possible, I MIGHT want to do a site lockout defense, just because it usually seems to work.

Again, thanks for all the advice!

Well, if 17 cards was way too big, you would want to take out more than just one card.

OMGOSH, TAHT EES SOOOOOO BIG! - *ding* - kk dat better.

nah.
i'd say stick with a simple deck with one color offense and one color defense cause you seem to be in-experianced
