Why is everyone building Garden Tomb decks?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:42:59 PM »

for decks with big defense yes. Standalone or suicide? VERY hard

That's why you throw John in every deck.

I don't know that I would go as far to say that it's easy to beat. Garden Tomb decks, like many other popular decks, capitalize on opponents bad draws. I think a larger more defense-heavy deck is more susceptible to bad draws than small quick decks like TGT.

Yeah, GT decks are designed to hammer the current popular Standalone defenses.

However, I tend to build huge single brigade defenses... so I typically have no problem.

Because they work like a charm...

Because Chuck Norris said so.

They look pretty and do nothing?

Lol... I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen a single garden tomb deck...

crustpope · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2009, 07:54:57 PM »

I have seen exactly one and pwned it. If you have a single defense, you take away their biggest gun. THere are some nice white enhancements (no need for spices ..etc.) but taking away the ignore ability really hurts TGT

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2009, 10:26:08 PM »

If it had a way to get rid of protection fortresses, it would be a lot better. However, as it is...a solid Assyrian defense with Assyrian Camp would utterly thrash TGT. (I know this partially from experience...Caleb.

)

Garden Tomb is the next U&T.

gods archangel · « **Reply #17 on:** April 04, 2009, 06:24:56 AM »

It sounds like a pretty solid strategy if you use it correctly. How do you get a garden tomb card? Which expansion does it come in?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:57:29 PM »

It comes in RoA (Rock of Ages) Tin...*lots of scuffling and crashing*...XIX.

gods archangel · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2009, 08:37:09 PM »

Is that out yet the only RoA tin I've seen and have is the one with jesus throwing a dove on the front of it.What is the picture on the tin that gaeden comes in?

They all have that. Look at the top or bottom of the tin.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #21 on:** April 05, 2009, 08:52:05 PM »

Isn't it the bottom?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2009, 08:57:09 PM »

I think so, I couldn't remember which it was though.

I mostly like GT because I see fewer of those unoriginal "standalone" defenses that have been around for way too long (I'd say since Wa/Apostles ). Now some people are actually playing w/ defenses. If you have a decent single-color defense GT is not a problem. I hope similar things continue to be done about offense w/ three or more colors.

This was definitely the intent of The Garden Tomb but I don't think the play testers wanted it to be as powerful as it is currently. Even single color defenses have a hard time keeping enough characters out against a good GT deck.
