Can Stone Pillar at Bethel pull out the Exodus AOTL and New Jerusalem?

It sure can! 

It really is and now thanks to I and j starter decks you can use the cool art work for aotl!! =D I was so happy when I saw it hahaha.

I still remember the year I ran that deck (Blue/Silver Genesis w/ Birth Foretold) in T1 MP at Nationals...I had 3 souls rescued, SoG in hand and Stone Pillar in my art pile for two rounds and I couldn't draw one of the six good Genesis enhancements left in my deck...  I ended up taking third for the tournament, but I would have had a shot at winning it all if I had won that round.

I think they were Abe's Kid, Abe's Servant, Three Angels, Flaming Sword, Numerous as the Stars and Answer to prayer. This was before FooF/RoA 2 so none of the Genesis stuff from that set. The deck also had a FBTN element with Captain, TSA and Ira. Jacob/Numerous/Ira was a sweet play. 

I also ran 7 Years of Famine, Pigs LS and RBD. Since everyone was using drawing, I added as many draw counters as I could and put my emphasis on searching (Birth Foretold/Stone Pillar/Numerous/Answer to Prayer). I think the defense was a small Gray defense that included False Peace.

Haha, nice catch. 7 Years was not in that deck because it was 2011 Nats in Minnesota. I remember having 3 "anti-draw" cards, so maybe it was the Speed Bump Lost Soul that was also included.
