Probably won't win, but this is what I decided to go with.  I got lazy of having to undo my other decks just to make a Type 2 deck, and also having to have 5 of so many cards.  So I came up with this 105 card Type 1/Type 2 deck to mess around with.  Works for both types without removing or adding any cards.  Anyway, it's a fun deck to try, using an offense and a defense that are rarely used anymore.

21 neutral cards

Agree.  It's not for tournament play (hence the lack of several dominants).  It's my deck to pull out for a casual game when someone wants to play Type 2, while also being a Type 1 casual game option with no changes.  I especially like the "no souls for you!" defense when it's working correctly.

You can't have two scribes.

Doh!  You're right, as it's two colors.  Totally missed that.  I'll replace him with either another low number grey guy, or Unknown Nation.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I also think you should a proud pharisee or two.

Two for sure!

I also think you should a proud pharisee or two.

Is Proud Pharisee the one that let's me play an enhancement first?  I tried him once in this defense, and it didn't work because his numbers were often enough to give them inititiative and do something that I don't want.  This defense, when working perfectly, is designed to capture one of my own heroes and place in Raiders Camp, "suicide" the EC, and the player not get a lost soul NOR get initiative to negate anything.

If Raider's Camp is not out yet (but that's what False Peace and Hiram are for), then I'm at the mercy of hoping they can't negate/prevent my capture of their own hero in battle.  Like I said, it's risky, but really fun when it works.  I won a Type 1 tournament with this defense a couple years ago.

I would switch out 2 captures 2 more versatile battle winners.

Like say Balaam's disobedience.

Yeah my bad looked over it. I know it is a capture/self capture, I'm just saying I think it needs more versatility.
