Rapture & Release is a Woman with Wages sub-type offense focusing on FBTN, access to dominants, recursion of Sword of the Spirit, and potentially CBN protection with Chenaniah/Joy thanks to Hope. Splash chump defense.

Hope you enjoy 

I really like this deck. Its very close to what I imagine what would dominate early in the season. Just a few questions

1. No Fifth seal/Justice seekers?

2. What is the purpose of NJ/Bride of Christ? and how do you get it/them out of the reserve?

I would cut I am Creator for 5th Seal/Justice Seekers. Your likelihood of drawing 0 Heroes in opening hand is 5%...that percentage decreases to 3.6% if you count Justice Seekers as a "last resort" Hero (i.e. the only Hero you draw in opening hand).

Also, no John for Polycarp to grab? John Revelator is a pretty clutch Hero being able to look at hand and negate LS and ECs.

Well there's that...

I would consider moving Moses to Reserve. I like having a Hero in Reserve so that in the rare event I don't draw a Hero opening hand, but I do draw Covenant of Prayer, I still have an option.

Made a couple of minor tweaks based on feedback. This deck is performing better than expected, especially without Noah/ANB

MVP:
Brown Crimson Outsiders to Gideon's Ephod is incredible. 10/10 splash this in your deck.
