The good:
The Strong Angel/Captain of the Host + Third Seal did work on offense. Household Idols and Rain Becomes Dust did work on defense. Naaman/King Rezin are bosses against lone Heroes.

The bad:
No site access. Golden Calf should have been Dragon Raid and Gathering Angel (never used) should have been Angel at Jerusalem.

The ugly:
Allowing Signet Ring to stall me when Paying Taxes is such an easy addition.

I've wanted to run Worshippers of False Gods + Deadly Snare + an idol for some time, but my T1 decks never had the slots available.  I wanted to squeeze in False Priests and False Peace as well.  I can see how those would work better in T2.

Did you ever consider Asherah Pole over Golden Calf?

I thought about Asherah Pole, but in the end I really just wanted Household Idols active the whole time (or RBD if I didn't have a Damascus yet). Golden Calf was just in the event I wanted to use the Joshua/Captain band (with Protection of Angels/Striking Herod backup). I did not think Sites would be as much an issue as they were (3 of the people I played had at least 1) so I really should have had Dragon Raid.

I didn't end up using Worshiper a ton as I usually had Naaman or Rezin with Horses and Night Raid was the preferable play, but they did work a couple times when I needed initiative and didn't have a guy with Horses. The one drawback was that they were not protected by House of Rimmon so they got hit by Third Seal when it triggered for my opponent.

Cool deck and congrats!
See this is why I like T2 so much....In the hands of a top player most decks/themes have a shot. Plus how this wonderful COW expansion has beefed up underused themes even with a few cards. Variety is the spice of life!  :D

Thanks. I really wanted to go but I don't think my car was as enthusiastic as I was. Haha yeah after shuffling 252 cards my hands were hurting towards the end of the tournament last year. I will have to check out your tournament report.
