The story of Jacob and Esau is well-known for the rivalry between them; but, later in life, they reconciled as true brothers should do. However, their respective descendants still feuded and engaged in many conflicts. This deck tells that story and demonstrates those conflicts by using Jacob and several of his sons and other patriarchs to rescue lost souls, while blocking your opponent with Edomites, the descendants of Esau. The offense focuses on disrupting your opponent’s hand of evil cards and uses other strong abilities, while the defense primarily utilizes banish abilities. Don’t miss out on this fun, strong and thematic deck!
