I'm new and in need of some help

I'm reading all these post about speed decks but I havn't seen any thing about what a speed deck is exactly. Can some one tell what it is and the concept behind it?

Draw cards to get your dominants before your oppent then get 3 Lost Souls in the process. Then play Son of God and New Jerusalem to get to 5.

No, you couldn't since Mayhem isn't a character or an enhancement, which are the two things that allow Gifts to draw.

Additional question : If you have Gifts up and your opponent draws (7 card from Hur for example) and Draws Ls's (lets say 2) would the replcement draws(2) count too?
Basically
Would you draw 7 (not including replacements) or 9 (including replacements)?

Yes, lets say you are drawing the cards. On the fourth card you draw, it is a LS. Then, you replace that LS by drawing another card,. Then, your still drawing. And, on your sixth card you are drawing, it is a LS, then you would have drawn another card, to replace that LS. So, yes, you would be actually drawing eight cards.

Does that mean Mayhem wouldn't work with say A-Bom?

It does, because there is no stipulation on Abom about what causes the drawing.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

It is not a bad combo but Mayhem can only be used once
I would prefer to use Hur for Abom

Wouldn't false peace and False priests help too? You could get Son of God AND New Jerusalem with them, if played right.
