Thought I'd try my hand at a type half deck. What do you all think?
Lost Souls: 4
Imitate
CBP
Revealer
Resurrection
Heroes: 4
Ezekiel
Watchman
Paul
Simeon (Di)
GE: 4
Drawn Sword
Forest Fire
Faith of Samuel
Two Bears
EC: 4
Astrologers
King Belshazzar
Nebbie
Sapphira
EE: 4
Scattered
Nebbie's Pride
Bel's Banquet
Head of Gold
Other: 5
Headquarters at Riblah
Golden Cherubim
Confusion of Mind
Babylon/Harlot
Hopper
I think Sapphira is the weakest link, but I'm not sure who else to put in. I'm tempted to go Bab Soldiers, but with only Head of Gold to capture I'm not sure it's worth it.
-
I had a similar thought of doing the Zeke/Babs build because of the versatility of Drawn Sword and Forest Fire.
Personally I think I would drop Banquet and slide Drawn Sword to the EE so you can add something like Repentance to the GE.
I would cut Head of Gold for Invoking Terror for the recursion potential (and it works on Sapphira).
Lastly I would cut HQ for Go Into Captivity.

Id take out cherubim and Simon for Isaiah and another major/minor prophet, just to get the most out of the watchman. I'd also take out all the defensive enh and run all the Ezekiel and Isaiah dae as evil and run 4 more good enh. That's just how I would personally do it. :2cents:
-
I kind of like having Banquet, because King B. can recur it. I'm not sure Go Into Captivity is worth it, with only two WC.
I might swap Cherubim out for a different prophet, but I kind of like Simeon, since no doms in type half means he's protected from discard the whole game.
-
I like your thinking on Simeon. In fact, I'd probably cut Cherubim for Paul or Barnabas so you can take advantage of the CBN banding potential. In a limited format such as this, it feels like big #s will ultimately win the day.

All I'm saying is I tried Simeon, and he was ok, but not super amazing imo. You can test it for yourself, and maybe you'll have different results, but I feel that here are better options.
