I posted this on discord and messaged a few people as well for confirmation to make sure this is as good as I think it is.
Here is the rough draft of the offense and then I will do the breakdown.

I left room in the Reserve and also left out the defense and neutral cards. I do like to stir creativity, I don't mind, but I would rather people ask questions and try out defenses and other neutral cards on their own instead of having a copy and paste, but I don't mind people asking for a defense to pair this with for a simple copy and paste into Lackey to start playing. I just like conversation in general.
As for the offense. If you haven't seen on discord, I threw this band out there to ask if anyone A) knows about it, and B) have tested it with any luck? Also, there is a T2 version of this as well with Malachi/The Exodus to set up every other turn The Exodus CBN discard all evil cards in battle, or at least have it readily available. I think it tries to do too much, but it's cool. Anyway, back to the point of this thread, the main band in this deck is: Moses - Aaron - Phinehas - Jehoshaphat - The Destroyer. If you have Moses' Staff on Moses you snag a plague from deck or Reserve, get to play a plague when blocked off the Destroyer, they gain regardless of protection due to Moses' Staff, and gain CBN due to Moses. The other heroes are for other strong bands that work really well. The plagues, at least the ones I listed the names of, do not have to be played on an Exodus hero. Also, there is a heavy mill factor with Jonah and two underrated plagues that snag enhancements from the opponent.
You could easily play this with a small Egyptian defense due to Pharaoh having CBN Evicted, Scattered, wait that doesn't sound right, Abandonment (sorry), No Straw!, and other strong evil enhancements, and they have faster setup cards that work perfect for this offense. I know I said I wouldn't, but I might just throw the whole deck out there on T1 decks, who knows.
The offense has normal bands that people are used to, but factoring in the resource control, the fast setup, Numerous as the Stars to get back heroes as well, overall versatility, and the ability to have a CBN, play first, regardless of protect band with numerous versatile battle winners, one of which is a 12/12 board wipe out, this deck can do a lot. Make sure to target Storehouse and similar cards, because you will want the mill plagues to work.
I hope you all enjoyed this post, this offense should see play and I know it is a blast. Let me know if the band is not consistent enough, or since people know about it, they target it.
