This is a white NT female deck designed for new players.

Offense has multiple ways of speeding though the deck in order to get battlewinners and dominants. A typical plan of attack for this deck is to get a 4 character CBN band going by the virtue of Mary Mother of James with TGT in play. Magnifcat is a valuable battlewinner on par with "he is risen" and blessings. Joesph Before Pharoh is used as soul gen and a OT check.

The defense is a simple budget Assyrian defense with assyria's tribute as a FBTN generator. Death of unrightous used by Assyrian survior is a block with a lost soul generated as well. Confusion can win games single handedly by discarding Son Of God from opponet's deck.

I don't know if this is for teaching new players.  We've already got starter decks.  My impression of what Red is doing is posting stereotypical decklists so that medium level players have a framework to work up to high level.

Why not? The siege army can take out Golgotha or any protection fort clearing the way for tgt and you now have access to PoJ. Splash in WaS and you have even more synergy. I understand why red didn't do these things because it is a begginning level deck nonetheless there great potential for synergy and even as it is there is synergy.

I like THIS deck list because it can give new-ish players good tips as to what is good to have in a deck. Even if they don't copy this deck, it gives them a picture at what to look for in decks and how to use banding and speed more effectively.

I sort of wish that somebody posted these kind of deck lists when I was new to the game. Nice work red.
