The idea was to be able to use my Pharisee drawing on my turn so I didn't have to depend on being attacked, with Prophet+HT+Sword of the Lord. Also helpful was making John bulletproof with Birth Foretold. Arrest in Gethsemane was an idea I saw at NC Regionals, as I figured it would be nice to control the flow of doms for three rounds (which can take a long time in T2-MP) and I could get rid of it with either Nathan or Anna if necessary.

Awesome job Jordan you deserve it.  Nice way to use your pharisees to draw without being attacked.  That was a sick idea.  I like the change from Samson to John the Baptist.

Brilliant deck, Jordan. Who knew that GoYS wasn't necessary to win a MP event at Nationals! :)

I heard green was dead in T2 because of Nazareth. I guess you disproved that theory. Congrats on your win!

The key to my winning without Guardian was playing from behind. In the first three turns of each of my games, I think I got two heroes total. So I never really had the lead until nearly the end of the game, when I could either rely on Lampstand, or the fact that all the Falling Aways had already been used. I don't believe I ever lost a soul from my LoR.
