Hi! My mind is exploding with this concept that is currently possible with some of the new cards. Mostly in Type 2 though but also possible in Type 1.
Point 1: New Lamb's Righteousness, wow...combine with Consider the Lilies, use it 6 times in Type 2.
Point 2: A grey defense with cards like Night Raid and Paul's Belt with classic Roman Jailer, Naaman, Proud Pharisee, and King Rezin w/ Damascus.
Point 3: Using a Martyr offense along with Eternal Inheritance and You Will Remain (among other Covenants).
Point 4: Sog+NJ or TSC.
Now with a deck like this, you just play negate heavy offense and you (theoretically) don't have to make a successful rescue attempt all game. This is not meant to be negative and I'm sure this was considered in making cards this set. After all it still takes a minimum 5-7 rounds to win this way and Confusion (though not nearly as bad thanks to Covenant of Prayer), along with other counters can still mess with you. If all goes to plan though, every rescue attempt should end in a Battle Challenge! Not sure what this might do to the meta-game but gimmicks seem really gimmicky!
Any thoughts on how a gimmicky deck like this could be fleshed out? Leave them below!
