you will need more ways to get initiative or more interrupts. more moses kills egyptian or the c/d swift horses that just interrupts and draws three to play next. Type 2 is more often than not built around not allowing your opponent the opportunity to play a card. Hope this helps.

In my type two defense deck for Egyptians i do 5 archers and three wise men and 4 failed objectives for suicides...and they can band if need be and abuse the horses wonders forgotten in you get it like that...Honestly one given over to egypt isn't going to do anything in that deck if you aren't doing anything that is discard....but i like this...i would replace that with another evil enhancement or another character or something like that

2x U&T
2x Writ
2x Charms
2x The Silver Trumpets
1x Stalks of Flax
2x Altar of Incense
5x Egypt
1x Banks of the Nile

Charms out cuz I said Magicians out. I personally think you have too many artifacts which means you will not have the EC's/enhs when needed.

Good (41):
5x SoG (Just kidding!)
NJ
GoYS
AotL

1x Z's Temple (I only have one)
1x Cov with Levi

2x Ira
1x Haggai
2x Benaiah
1x Moses

2x Abithar
3x Phinehas
1x Joiada, Joshua (want to add at least one more of him), Seraiah, Ahimaaz, Azariah, Jehoiada

4x Zeal
4x Jehoiada's Strength
4x Burning Incense
2x Jordan Interrupted
1x (each) Feast of Trumpets, First Fruits, T-Blast, Filling Ztemple- I would do another T blast/Ztemple

Evil(39):
Burial
Martyr
DoN

2x Pharaoh's throne room
1x Unknown Nation- Naz is rampant, either do 2, or none.
1x Captured Ark- Naz is rampant, I would take this out for an EC
1x Given over to Egypt- isn't worth it

1x Emperor Claudius
2x Jambres
1x Huge Egyptian
1x Egyptian Warden
1x Egyptian Archer- I think 2-4 more of these
2x Egyptian Charioteers- Underrated, one more
1x Am. Slave
1x Egyptian Wise men
1x Pharaoh Hophra
1x King So
2x Pharaoh's Magicians- both out for ^ suggestions
2x Jannes

1x Ruthless
2x Moses Kills Egyptian
1x Spreading Mildew
1x Building Egypt
5x Wonders Forgotten
1x Egyptian Horses
1x Imprisoned
3x Enslaved by Egypt
This defense looks ok, but too scattered, I would condense it. Perhaps some more negates/interrupts and same battle winners instead of the x1's, unless that's all you have.

I agree with Hiatus' suggestions. In addition I would try to get 4-5x Eygptian Horses. They help out the O.T civilizations so much, you basically have a permanent draw 2 and play next to play a CBN enslaved by Eygpt or CBN Wonders Forgotten. Just keep some in your hand because there are so many ways now to discard them in territory. This is how I see it defense going:


1x Ruthless
2x Moses Kills Egyptian
1x Spreading Mildew
1x Building Egypt
5x Wonders Forgotten
1x Egyptian Horses +4
1x Imprisoned
3x Enslaved by Egypt

Then I would take out your 5th Eygpt site and another neutral for balance

Then If I were you I would take out 2 of those 3 curses Hiatus suggested you take out for 2x Going into Captivity.

I didn't look at the offense much but one thing I would suggest is that you take out all burning inscence due to the Golgotha craze now adays. I would add another Jordan interrupted, 2x provisions, and a Grapes of Wrath.

You have haggai and benaiah 2x and potentially zachariah who is teal/green.
