I think Gold Shields are great, but a lot of banding going on now so who cares if your hero is not the color, he is in a band. But 2 Gold Shields could be beneficial.

Post by: kram1138 on July 09, 2013, 10:31:31 PM: Changed it a bit. Took out both mocking soldiers, ashtoroth worship, and 2 chariots. Added Galba, Tiberius, hard hearted religious leaders and two tenants kill the son.

Post by: Mr.Hiatus on July 11, 2013, 11:08:38 AM: I disagree with Balaams now. A large amount of decks are using angels. Judges, Prophets, then silver in general is awesome right now. I think Balaams is good enough to Include two, but not all four.

Post by: TheHobbit13 on July 11, 2013, 01:25:17 PM: That's what Tenants, Night Raid and Heavy Taxes are for, besides you don't have to worry about judges as the angels exchange out of battle.

Post by: kram1138 on July 11, 2013, 03:32:33 PM: There are no night raids. I couldnt fit them. I think Coliseum Lions is better, so i have those instead. Same with Balaams Disobedience. The battle winners i have(Coliseum Lions, Scattered, Heavy Taxes, Tenants Kill the Son, RDJ) are less situational, excepting RDJ. I dont think i could afford taking anything out to fit Balaams Disobedience.

I havent played much with it, but this defense fared excellently against Isaiah. Pretension can keep Isaiah from battle for a while and Heavy Taxes, Just a Hireling and Scattered are good at stopping him.
