they were only suggestions, and as most suggestions by any player, they're pretty biased by the playstyle of that person.  Well, I very much appreciate the comments. After using the same general card clique for a while, it's nice to get a different person's perspective. I also did regret watching Torment go, especially with KotW gone as well, but it seemed the most logical choice. However, I think that if I were to put any one card back in the deck, it would be KotW. It's true, I don't use Chariot much, but I would rather not get rid of too many artifacts because of Uzzah, especially if the card I were to put in for it was Torment.

 I was going through my deck, and I wanted to see if I could in any way take advantage of my multicolor EC's. I was thinking I could put in Namaan's Chariot, which Antiochus could use, and then add a Black or Grey battle-winner or two. But then I thought maybe I could utilize Astrologers' Babylonianness. Nebushasban would be a good card to put in so I could steal my opponent's 2-/3-Liner or NT or Female LS or something. Great Image would be nice to have also, especially if I could follow it up with Belshazzar's banquet. Also, with two relatively low-number Babylonians, I might want to put Desecrate the Temple in as a Confusion backup. I might even go further to put Swift Horses and maybe Nebuchadnezzar in. What do you think about this?

probably the best combo you can make with antiochus is by tossing in a gold shield. while it wont trigger before his ability takes effect, its an effective battle winner all by itself (and one card less than a chariots + battle winner, not to mention cbi).
i like where you're going with the babylonians, theres alot of damage you can do there with a relatively small card pool. confusion + desecrate the temple could be absolutely devestating. if you add any babylonian, nebuchadnezzar is an absolute must. he can search for and play all of the crimson cards you proposed. i imagine it could look something like this:
astrologers nebuchadnezzar
belshazzars banquet nebby's pride (battle winner + awesomesauce against fbtn...whopping 18 defense when played on nebby) desecrate the temple
you may be able to get away with that small, compact defense. adding another babylonian would be optimal, of course, but you're limited at deck space as is. if you do, i'd go with either nubushasban (small numbers for initiative, lost soul access) or nergal (cbn is always great for defense).

if you expect a kick in the groin but get a slap in the face, consider it a complete victory.

The only problem is what to take out. All I have in my defense is the necessary Greeks, the minimum amount of Grey and PG, and Uzzah. And my offense is possibly even less flexible.
63?
