I don't play T2 frequently but I'm hoping to start playing it more so I've been building a deck (primarily for 2P but I will use it for MP as well if that category is available) based on a theme I'm more familiar with.

I've acquired most of the cards but before I buy the remainders from Ken I figured it couldn't hurt to ask for opinions on if there's anything that can be improved.


Deck Size: 102
Neutral Cards: 26
2   Siegeworks
2   Razor
3   Darius' Decree
1   Lampstand of the Sanctuary
3   Magic Charms
1   Holy Grail
2   Lost Soul (can't be prevented)
2   Lost Soul (female only)
2   Lost Soul (N.T. only)
2   Lost Soul (FBTN)
2   Lost Soul (revealer)
2   Lost Soul (wanderer)
1   Lost Soul (Resurrection)
1   Lost Soul (Rejoice)

Good Cards: 38
1   Angel of the Lord
1   Grapes of Wrath
1   Guardian Of Your Souls
1   New Jerusalem
1   Son of God (new)
1   Obadiah's Caves
1   The Tabernacle
1   Wall of Protection
1   Daniel
2   Isaiah
2   Michael
3   Angel of His Presence
2   Seraph with a Live Coal
4   Seraph
2   Live Coal
2   Isaiah's Call
2   Wheel Within a Wheel

4   Striking Herod
2   Protection of Jerusalem
2   Angelic Guidance

Evil Cards: 38
1   Burial
1   Christian Martyr
1   Destruction of Nehushtan
1   Falling Away
1   Vain Philosophy
2   Covenant with Death
1   Damsel with Spirit of Divination
1   King Manasseh
2   Astrologers
2   Egyptian Magicians
1   Balaam
3   Assyrian Siege Army
4   Assyrian Archer
4   Assyrian Survivor
2   Invoking Terror
3   Two Thousand Horses
4   Forgotten History
4   Death of Unrighteous

I assume you meant 4 searches since they reduced the maximum amount of single-color cards awhile ago.

Thanks for the suggestions, it's primarily a 2P deck but I will make a list of swaps to make if I use it for MP.

5 of my 6 artifacts discard themselves to accomplish tasks so I don't know that Uzzah would be very useful in the deck as it is right now, lol.

I would drop
1 archer
1CwD
1 Survivor
2 hopper LS
2 Pigs LS

I would add
Vain Philosophy
Balaam
Astrologers
Magic Charms
Holy Grail
2 FBTN LS

Hmm, interesting suggestions. Any specific reason for taking out the Hoppers? Also, what's your thinking for Holy Grail?

Soul gen is rarely needed in t2 don't get me wrong sometimes your gla you have but I'd rather have more ways to win battles.

HG is so good and being able to take away 2 of their best EC's is amazing. Convert is better then discard in t2 bc if you convert uniques then the extra copies become hand clog for the opponent.

If you used my suggestions I might even consider adding in 2 angelic guidances and Assyrian survived and archer back in sense you want to run PoJ this would move your deck to 104 still balanced so if u wanted to add in the other hopper you could to get on soul gen.  Although the FBTN LS means there is a chance ur hopper soul gens against urself.

Not sure how but I missed that you are playing naz. I would consider dropping both of those otherwise the angelic guidances are not probably worth play which means dropping to evil cards again. Sorry I missed that.

Update bump! Changes since last update listed below. Still looking for thoughts/improvement suggestions as I plan to use this at tourneys this year.

-  2   Lost Soul (shame)
+ 1   Lost Soul (Resurrection)
+ 1   Lost Soul (Rejoice)

-  1   Ezekiel
+ 1   Michael
