Could be OT grey card since Pharisees don't help an all Syrian defense at all.

4/3 E/f banding dude + Habitation of demons (the grey version that lets a demon band to a human)+ Syrian King + 2/6 Pharisee that plays next + this fort = broken

This takes a little work but with Ash pole up or you some how get the grey 8/7 cbn dude in there this is pretty strong

Sorry for my lack of names lol I havnt played a game in like 6 months lol
