Thought it could have had a good chance at last nationals had I went, although it has had several changes since than (and now banned cards).  Moses is still a stud.  Takes the meta away from what you've been seeing (at least in my area) and felt nice to make this deck from scratch with a few tweaks The Guardian (and maybe someone else i forget) offered.

Reserve (10)
Haman's Gallows
Endless Treasures
I am Creator
You will Remain
Elisha
Foreign Wives
Lot's Daughters (Wo)
Gomer
Faith of Gideon
Fire from Heaven

Deck (51)
Souls (7)
Lost Soul (Covet)
Lost Soul (Distressed)
Lost Soul (Hunter)
Lost Soul (Remnant)
Lost Soul (Exiles)
Lost Soul (Darkness)
Lost Soul (Awake, loses Covet unity, but your main goal is to get Exiles turn 1 and after that it doesn't matter cause you want Moses early on.)

Sites (2)
Treacherous Land
Majestic Heavens

Forts (1)
Storehouse

Artifacts (2)
Hezekiah's Signet Ring
Book of Covenant (PoC)

Curses (2)
Captured Ark
Flying Scroll

Dominants (7)
Son of God
Angel of the Lord
The Second Coming
Three Woes
Christian Martyr
Valley of Dry Bones (Getting back Moses if captured plus I love this dominant)
Falling Away (CoW)

Dual Cards (3)
Pharaoh's Daughter (T1 Moses, used to make Moses and Elders work after Moses is in play if she is played before Moses).
King Saul (CoW)
Leviathan

Heroes (8]
Moses
David, the Psalmist
Samuel (Banned)
Elijah (PoC)
Angel with the Secret Name
The Angel Under the Oak
Abram & Jochebed (Moses' Parents) (Super good card to have in territory with Moses out)
Jephthah (J)

Good Enhancements (5)
Faith
Moses and Elders
Transfiguration
Faith of Samuel (probably the best card by far to play on Moses)
Tested by Fire

Evil Characters (8]
Necromancer
Haman (Old Promo, I think this card is highly underrated)
Abaddon, the Destroyer (Helps Get Haman's Gallows)
The Deceiver
The Serpent
King of Tyrus (If offense struggles gets Lots Daughters (Wo) if they don't play black for free rescue with Elisha)
Red Dragon (Great Stand alone + banding to Abaddon)
Doeg (CoW) (Super underplayed card with evil king saul I've hit a ton of targets with this)

Evil Enhancements (6)
Confusion (CoW)
Scattered
Shimei's Malicious Curse
Haman's Plot
Great Image (I'm one of the few people who has always loved this card  and if played right can be extremely devastating)
Haman's Boasting

Whole objective is drawing of coarse but getting moses out early and stomping with him.  You have a lot of stuff that can still be used and is playable but it stops a lot.  Getting a plot off and not ripping is pretty huge, Doeg helps out (always play king saul evil), the defense has some powerful stuff is played correctly.  Transfiguration is quite good I think a lot of people have forgotten about it.  I'm probably tweak it slightly since Samuel is now banned to help with the draw, but it's pretty quick and I've played some of the T-1 elite and won a majority of the games (outside of this tournament).

This is a pretty sweet deck. I love seeing lesser-played characters getting a chance to remind people how good they are.

I was honestly surprised I never saw Transfiguration last year, considering that both Moses and Elijah are excellent. I approve.

I agree that Great Image is powerful, but with how many Ark of Salvations I see running around I'm a bit hesitant on it. Did you find it was worth it with only three characters to play it on, and only one of those really an initiative character?

Awesome! I'll see you tomorrow!

That’s because you didn’t play me at Nats. 😉

Awesome! I'll see you tomorrow!
