Walking in Babylon - A Tournament Winning Deck

04/09/08

RedemptionOk, first let me say this is my first time ever posting a deck on here so be nice to me.

So this is the deck that I went 3-0 with at a MN local. I know I know, it's not a great record but what can I say, it was a small tourney. But hey, Justin Alstad was there (notice I don't mention that he was playing or not). The person who came in 7th at MN states was there, and yes, he was playing.

Follow up:

Dominants (8)

  • Angel of the lord
  • Son of God
  • New Jerusalem
  • Guardian of your Souls
  • Christian Martyr
  • Burial
  • Destruction of Nehushtan
  • Falling Away

If you don't know how to use these, look at Gabe's article.

Lost Souls (7)

  • Revealer
  • Site Doubler
  • N.T.-Only
  • First-Round Protect
  • Female-Only
  • Site Hand Discard
  • Lost Souls (2-line)

So as you can see most of my Lost Souls either have to do with Sites or kind of act as a little defense on their own. Such as the 1st rounder which can't be rescued the fist round it's in play, except by an angel or a Dominant. And then the female-only, N.T.-only, and then the 2 liner which you can let get rescued once and then bury it.

Sites (6)

  • Babylon x5
  • Babylonian Banquet Hall

So the Site strategy here is pretty obvious: you have lots of Babylons so you can put a lot in Babylonian Banquet Hall so that you never run out of room to put Lost Souls.

Artifacts, Covenants, and Curses (5)

  • Unholy Writ
  • Chariot of Fire
  • David's Harp
  • Wastelands
  • Captured Ark

Unholy Writ: If they happen to break through my Sites, I'll hopefully have Unholy Writ up to stop em.
Chariot of Fire: To get my Heroes back if they get devourered or great imaged etc.
David's Harp: Works well with Seeker of the Lost.
Wastelands: Puts their access Site to the bottom.
Captured Ark: Shuffles in those nasty Site access cards and anti-banding cards.

Heroes (10)

  • Claudia (can band to Simeon, Seeker of the Lost, Ethiopian Treasurer, and Parmenas)
  • Jacob (FoOF) (can band with Captain of the Host)
  • Seeker of the Lost (can be devastating with her ability to reveal the top 3 cards of any draw pile and put them on the bottom)
  • Ethiopian Treasurer (can play any Enhancement before the opponent can even block)
  • Widow (cant be blocked by Evil Chracter with toughness */8 or higher, and another Hero to play AoCP on and Ezekiel's Stick)
  • Parmenas (another Hero to play AoCP and Ezekiel's Stick, and can play The Word Spreads un-negate-ably)
  • Captain of the Host (is big and by the numbers)
  • Phinehas, Son of Eleazar (can't be captured or converted, can play Zeal for the Lord)
  • King Amaziah (can choose one evil king of Israel to block)
  • Simeon (can band to Captain of the Host)

Good Enhancements (10)

  • Ezekiel's Stick (bands in any Hero, who would not want that?)
  • Zeal for the Lord (amazing battle winner)
  • Abraham's Servant to Ur (you can band Claudia to ET, then play it and you have a 12/12 BTN)
  • Vengeance of Eternal Fire (discards 2 Sites)
  • Authority of Christ (promo) (it just wins)
  • Great Faith (pretty clear why its in here)
  • The Word Spreads (CBN if played on Parmenas)
  • Obedience of Noah (can be played on Jacob before the battle starts to choose the blocker)
  • Reach of Desperation (draws 3 cards and interrupts)
  • Jacob's Dream (I get to steal one of their sites)

Evil Characters (6)

  • King of Tyrus (Warriors)
  • Uzzah
  • Complainers
  • King Zedekiah
  • King Elah (choose your blocker)
  • King Shallum (choose your blocker)

Evil Enhancements (4)

  • Tanking Naboth's Vineyards
  • Dungeon of Malchiah
  • Gibeonite Trickery
  • Korah's Rebellion

So basically, it's a Site lock deck with a very small brown defense and a splash offense thats mostly CBN and banding, or play before the battle begins.

Hope you like it.

Hey, rad deck.

However, I'm pretty sure that playing Abraham's Servant to Ur negates banding too; you could band Claudia to ET and play it, but ET would have to go back to your territory, and you'd just have a 7/8 FBN battle.
