It's been awhile since I did it but I built a deck discard deck prior to early church that was a ton of fun.

Spy
Amasai the raider
Gabriel (the on that discard an enhancement opponents deck)
Jephtha (the red one)
Ishmiah, The Gibeonite
Uriah, The Hittite
Red David
Both older Red centurians
Asahel

Warriors Spear
Foreign Spear
Bravery of David
A soldiers prayer
Council of Abigail
Centurion Proclamation

Holy Grail

Huge Egyptian
Egyptian Horseman
Queen Taphenes
Salome
Evil Spawn (the gold one)

Beheaded
Egyptian Spear

Pithom

Given over to Egypt

Deck discard LS
Hand Discard Lost Soul

I don't remember the rest of it lol.

There is more deck targeting stuff on defense just can't remember it all.  Jerome hated playing against it. It could beat anything with a couple good deck hits but it didn't have the power to win without some luck.

My disappearing Lost Souls deck was always fun to use.

Burial

Nebushasban (sometimes converted to a Hero) or Prisoner Transfer (to swap LS with my opponent)
Death of Unrighteous, Swine Stampede and Hormah (to shuffle/underdeck my opponent's LS back into his deck)

Divination+Jephthah (before the "LS discarded from deck go to play" rule)

 

Wow, Divination+ Jephthah is ridiculous by itself

I remember at one point Jordan built a deck that was pretty much only Heroes. I think he might've had some dominants but no ECs, EEs, or GEs. I think he beat me with it once but it would be a lot more difficult to pull off now with all the banding counters and CBP stuff.

Oh, and yes, this is the same Jordan who piloted Heroless for a number of years.

Type 2: Temple guard plays Babel and bands in Spirit of Temptation to put Persistent Pestering under deck, or you can do Bronze Laver and put Persistent Pestering under deck prior to. Opponent attacks and you block Temple Guard, Babel, Evil Spawn play Pestering and underdeck Pestering then band in pestering Spirit.
Another easy block is they rescue, you block with Deceuving Spirit if you have initiative, play Pestering, then play babel. All you need is a couple words to make it work and in type 2 you're running multiples of them. Easy to get going and I run a very fast offense to ensure I get this out.

Another neat trick for this deck - capture hero to opponent (pauls belt?), exchange with exchange ls, and I am Redemption. Also, that one card (can't remember the name right now) that returns enh to hand can be fun when using prisoner transfer/just a hireling, and it can even return a false peace used to set it up.
