Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Don't expect any help from MN player. When you come to MN we have you paired up with Gabe first round, Nathan 2nd and SirNobody third.

Just remember this "Mr. Bill".... everyone needs to play me to make sure they have at least one win in the tourney. And that is the only reason you insist on me coming. Tim needs me so that he can have someone rip 3 HP so that he can still win. Gabe needs me so that he can be the second ugliest man at the tourney. Nathan needs me so that he can no what not to become when he grows up.  So now I need everyones input so that I can have on my resume' that I had the best deck at the tourney and that I still couldn't figure out how to play correctly.

Listen.......you can almost hear the violins playing.....Notice I didn't say anything mean about my hero Matt. I understand that he is providing me a room Sunday night.

And I still placed  It was all your fault too, with your stupid ANB's never letting the souls fall right. (I'm pretty sure I was fallen away also, so two paltry souls )

I'm pretty sure Matt and I are tied with 3 a piece.

Who is this Green Dragon Tail person? Does he own a Koala too?

It was a Giraffe actually, thank you very much

I'm pretty sure that Matt still holds the record for the most consecutive ANBs.  Someone doesn't like to let other people have a turn...

Et tu, Gabe?

as you guys probly don't know i know the guy who got 2nd in T2-2P.anyway on to da deck:whats with all the 1-ofs?

I know the guy who posted this deck.  He's pretty old and has trouble counting past 1.  That's the reason for all the 1 ofs.

Count, so sorry that your thread has become hijacked but you are competition so we must do all we can to keep you from improving your deck...

On that note, let me see if I can steer you the wrong direction:

Why Ira (k) instead of Ira (w)?  Seems to me that (w) would be better.
Why no Captain of the Host (w) for that Seraphim/Tribal/Tribal/Tribal/Tribal/Jacob/Cptn action?
Why the lone Miriam?  She's Green and ignores your defense.  It really stinks if an opponent bands to her.
Two Dragon Raid will not be enough to win against a Site deck.  Promised Land and Priestly Crown help.
It seems like there should be more ECs that can wear and use your horses to full potential.  I only count 2.

Curses
Unknown Nation x3
Captured Ark x2
Confusion of Mind x1

Fortress
The Trap of the Devil x1-out for KotW priests
Jerusalem Tower
Storehouse
Wall of Protection

Evil Cards
Egyptian Archer x3
Emperor Claudius x1

Pharaoh Hophra x1
Pharaoh's Throne Room x1
Potiphar    x1
Potiphar's Wife x1
Seven Wicked Spirits x2
Swift Horses x3
Wonders Forgotten    x5
I do not think this defense will stand up too long. I would split this with brown with the new Gomer, Unlcean Spirit, and Esau and play Egyptian Horses with Gib Tricks/Wonders Forgotten, all times 5. That way you have 10 cbn battle winners and not many enhs, but should have it around the first or second turn.
Covenants
Covenant of Noah   x1
Covenant of Palestine x1
I am Grace x1
Obedience of Noah   Main x1-? The enh? I didn't think you were that old.

Glad someone gave you some good help. We can put the "old" brain trust to work when you get here. (You, me and Matt)

Great advice Mr. Hiatus....except calling me out on my age.

Hahaha, you know I love ya.

Will you be at the tourney in MN? If you are look me up.

If my money situation is good then I will be there and I will surely look you up.

i see this offense hitting a brick wall if it dosen't draw well.   IF you don't draw a captain all your tirbals are useless.

That's not true. Can you stop 2-4 tribal elders...it's still a minimum 12/10 but probably 18/15 chain coming at you. If anything you have to waste 2-3 battle winners and that's if he doesn't have an Abe's Servant in his hand.   

First is arts kill this deck,  a person with 3hoh and possiably and ashera pole or to just will laugh.

Honestly when is the last time you saw a deck with 3 HoH's, let alone an Asherah Pole. And like I said above, even if their enhs cbn, they still have to have them all.

IF you don't pull you blue tassles first turn your in big trouble.  Becuase if i caputer your captain its game over (most brigades have cbn capture).

Evild gold has Enslaved by Egypt which has to have a site on and be played on an Egyptian. Brown requires DoM to be played on Zeddy and you would still have a 1/1 against a band btn. PG has Esau, no one uses him since Assyrians came out. Orange, nope, Grey/Crimson each require Nerg and Naaman for their cbn, and Nerg requires other Babylonians to be out. Black does not have a cbn capture...so pretty much by the time they get this out he should have a Blue Tassels, that is IF they have this in their deck. And once again you think his btn band is his whole offense, he still has RTC and some other sneaky ways of getting lost souls. And remember, sometimes all you need is a hero.
Sorry to be quoting you and calling you out, but it seems like you are playing the what if game. Which yes one needs to consider all aspects when making a top competitive deck but Count Fount loves to have fun and just play the game first off, and secondly there is simply too much in the game now to say what if to everything that hurts a deck. You could what if to every top 3 nats ranking deck, that didn't stop those decks from ranking. Trust me I have played some decks that if people used an artifact or played a certain defense I would have lost, sometimes you just have to play it.

Maybe i just play diffrent then most people but i would glady give you a ls to capture your captian.  Current count 6-7 captures in my deck.

My current deck could pull off 15 "auto" blocks (1 enhacement)   with probably another 3-5 blocks that require 2 enhancements.    These blocks are with your 2-4 elders if you had captain you would make me give you a ls in order to kill captain*, then allowing me to make these blocks no problem.  The problem is if i get rid of a tribal elder here and there then your in trouble.     

*the tribal elders have a huge disadvantage with out a captain.  It opens your deck up to dou (pg),  FO (gold), the brown charecter (uzzah),  orance ec, fasle peace+ bearing bad news, self capture.

I will grant you that its just a bunch of what if's but that why i am studying to be an engineer.
