This is the Deck that the Highway ruling destroyed.

This is my version of it.  I made this version after having only limited success beating Jonathan Pequinots deck.  The Defense can vary but this is the one I like the most because of the options, some auto blocks, the drawing/searching and almost everthing is CBN/CBI.

The goal is to set up an immunity stalemate battle with a provisioned hero and either red dragon (preffered) or Beast of the earth.  You start by playing coat, search x however many you need to eventually get warriors spear.  after you have all your cards, you band in another hero, withdraw with highway and then rinse and repeat only this time you play warriors spear and then follow it with book of jashar x5.

You can even get it started with Jael or Ehud if you cant get any provisions going.  The battle prayers can search for Acts of Solomon and the acts of solomon can switch for anything you need.  This deck, even at its size routineley sets up with in 4-8 turns.  You will eventually be left with nothing in your territory, nothing except dominants in your hand and nothing in your deck. 

Once the combo starts the only way to stop it is by banding in a FBtn EC with UN or from the darkness, or by playing AotL on Red dragon (and giving up the soul) .  HSR is good but you have to have another Art up because Captured ark takes care of those pretty easily otherwise.  J tower does not stop this deck either because you can use Abel's sacrifice to make the d/cing CBN.

Another wrinkle in this deck is Rehoboam who can get the combo started even on defense. by setting up a side battle of two of your heros and by playing the Testimony on the other hero to boost its defense and force a stalemate.  after a few turns of playign the testimony, the opposing hero is so big that you can gain initiative to play all the cards you need and you can start searching for the rest of the cards to start the devastation.

Although it would be hard to replicate the constant recursion, you could still make this deck deadly by encompassing The Long Day, Ambush the City, or a side battle where you convert the EC you control.

Except you don't have Angelic Advice in there, so if they happened to amass a ton of harmful artifacts early (Burial Shroud, HHI, H's Signet Ring, etc) or happen to get a temple as well, they can stall and grab a few more souls, potentially winning.

That seems to be the only element you overlooked.  Too bad the scheming Jonathan and I did with The Testimony is all for naught now.  I remember stumbling across that gem last year....  8)

Yeah, when he popped that little gem on me during a game I about went crazy.  That was a Brilliant addition and it made the deck twice as deadly.
