First off I want to thank everyone who helped me work on the deck to get prepped for Nats. It was tough to prepare this season with no Tournaments but I managed to get 1 practice game with Tyler Stevens in. Tyler was a massive help over all bouncing ideas off him and getting feedback. I also want to thank Jeremy Chambers, Chris Fachman, and Marcus Parker for their help too.
Overall the deck preformed not exactly how I envisioned but more solid than I thought. I only 1st turned Creation of the world once out of 5 games. Mostly because my opponents were droughting or didn't have a block but still wasn't completely ideal. I also had a game where a woes negated the Creation, and another where I never played it. Despite the non ideal situations I finished with 3 full wins, 2 timeout losses (5-6 to Tyler Stevens and 4-5 to Jayden Alstad), and a +13 differential. I was tied with Jayden on pts for 2nd and lost due to the head to head matchup though with a better differential. Here's the list.

So how the offense aims to win via the creation band is to use jacob to play a CBN enhancement because of Benjamin. The rest is mostly set up to draw a lot, recur/find a cards you need and negate problems. Defensively its more about play first and CBN options. Solomons Dream and A soliders prayer seem odd at first but since I do have easy access to a meek hero Solomons dream is amazing and Abrams Army can play A Soldiers prayer to get/recur whatever is necessary. More than once I used them to get doms. I think moving forward I would like to probably fit in Orphans soul and some more ways to deal with cards in territories but I dont think this deck is far off from being properly tuned. The only game the deck truly struggled was against Jayden where I drew abysmally, jayden drew and played great, and in the end it was still a close game. The game against Tyler Stevens is probably my favorite game I've played to date and I think proved that creation deserves to be considered as a top T2 option moving forward. It was great fun and hopefully I can continue to make this deck even better moving forwards. If you have any questions or comments or anything feel free to share.
I love this community and thanks for taking the time to check out the deck.
