TGT isn't as strong as it once was with the change to how ignore works.  Some "the deck" variants are playable, but that deck's definition is so nebulous.  Throne and Moses decks are very good right now.

Ignore doesn't target hand so you can block from it.

To expound, it was realized that ignore's old rules didn't really work with cannot be ignored's definition, so ignore was reworked.  It now has to target the characters that are ignored, and so it doesn't target ones from hand until they are already in battle.  The ignore then does work in battle, so the ignoring side will be winning, but the ignored side will have initiative to play things.

EDIT: New ignore ruling comes from here

To give some examples of meta decks:

Here is an example of what "The Deck" looks like now (in my opinion).  Isaiah and Daniel got dropped for Joshua Son of Nun and the new Moses, and the GEs consist primarily of the new "Faith" enhancements.  This deck placed 1st at Nationals this year.

Here is an example of what a I Samuel/Throne deck looks like.  This T2 version is the only one I could find on the boards or LoR.  This article talks about the I Samuel offense as well.

Here is what a combination of the two looks like.  This deck placed 2nd at Nationals.

Basically, I Samuel/Throne offenses have more speed than any other, and FBTN/Coliseum decks have more brute rescuing power than any other.  Hopefully Daniel Huisinga (MinisterPolarius) posts his decklist, because it was an awesome combination of the two
