2018 Nats T1-2P 4th Place - Throneless Throne aka Angel Party

Original deck credit to Jeremy Chambers, he told me about the deck the night before T1 and I just copied his list with a few tweaks and a different defense the next morning. Jeremy's name for the deck is Angel Party but I prefer Throneless Throne since I've really wanted to call a deck that for a long time and this deck's offensive strategy (attack with a band, win the battle by playing the first, and drawing bunch of cards) reminds me of Throne minus the new cheese combos.

Heroes: 11
Polycarp
Justin Martyr
Angel From the Sun
Gabriel
Michael, the Archangel
TSA (RoJ)

The Angel of Might
Servant Angel
AUtO
Captain of the Host (Warriors)

Good Enhancements: 7
Fifth Seal
Angelic Guidance
Wheel Within a Wheel
The Second Seal (Warriors)
Everlasting Beings
Entertaining Angels
Overcome!

DAE: 1
War in Heaven

Evil Characters: 8
The Deceiver
Abaddon, the Destroyer
Red Dragon
Damsel with Spirit of Divination
The Serpent
War
Leviathan
Behemoth

Evil Enhancements: 4
The Wages of Sin
Lurking
Blasphemies
Did God Really Say?

Support Cards: 5
Babel
Patmos
The Ends of the Earth
The Great White Throne
You Will Remain

Dominants: 7
Destruction of Nehustan
Christian Martyr
Three Woes
Grapes of Wrath
Angel of the Lord
The Second Coming
Son of God

Lost Souls: 7
Prosperity
Darkness
Covet
Blind
Wanderer
Punisher
Humble

Reserve:
Blood of the Lamb
Word of their Testimony
Michael's Sword
Lahmi's Spear
Ishbibenob's Sword
Death of Unrighteous
Fire from Heaven
Uzzah
Foreign Wives
The Gates of Hell

Since my first game with this deck was my first game of T1, this version of the deck is very unrefined and has lots of room for testing different tweaks, especially the defense (I'm even leaning towards building a completely different defense from scratch). The first change I think I would make is taking Gabriel out for IaC. I firmly believe that almost every deck without IaC is better off removing their worst Hero for it and I did not use Gabriel a single time at Nats since his ability isn't CBI and thus does nothing in the Party band. My one concern with that is that without Gabriel I risk running out of steam since my number of parties is limited but up to now at least none of my losses have been from problems that Gabriel could solve. Another option if I went with a different defense is running Angels of Wrath instead of Gabriel with bowls in War's reserve slots since Wrath is CBI and also can serve as a backup plan if I run out of steam. Only time will tell.

You have Everlasting Beings listed twice...though I hardly blame you, it's worth playing over and over.  8)

Also, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to run both Second Seal and The Second Seal/War in the same deck... :o

Man do I wish.

That occurred to me about halfway through the day but the deck checked fine so I figured I was all good. They technically don't have the same name since one is Second Seal and the other is The Second Seal

The in the title doesn't make it a different name. Both aren't legal in the same deck.

In that case I apologize for accidentally running an illegal deck at Nats :o Kinda glad I didn't place now...

One more reason to switch defenses I suppose!

Not exactly your fault. It should have been caught during check in. I don't remember checking your deck but it's entirely possible that I'm the one to blame.

That wasn't even the most egregious deck-building error that didn't get caught...one guy inadvertently had 2 Burials in his T2 MP deck. No one is perfect, including deck checkers...for example, Alstads are known for forgetting their Reserve lists... ::)

Is DoN a specific tech for something? Because I think I'd rather have #mayhem

HHI and Covenant with Death both make the offense pretty much stop working completely and while I was fortunate not to run into either of those (Except one HHI that my opponent chose to discard with Uzzah immediately) I feel safer knowing it's in there and it's always nice to hit the odd YWR, Signet Ring, or whatever else. The deck only really wants an effect like Mayhem before the first party since after that you'll have an extremely full hand the rest of the game.
