Another good combo with babel is to band in someone like King Zimri.

Another very nice combo would be to band in Rabshakeh with 2kH and play DoU - I love that card!

You absolutely were not the first one to use that. I myself used that strategy practically as soon as priests came out. ::)

You can. Band 5 archers of Kedar to a roman emp with chariot's and then play heavy taxes. Works very well... and adds hand discard and drawing for you.
As a national champion, I support ReyZen deck pouches.

Heavy Taxes x5
Naaman's Chariots and Horses x3
Forgotten History x5

I'd switch the rabs for King jeroboam the 1st? (7/7) and King Nadabs so you can recur those.

15 kills, plus all the territory killers... we shouldn't need to recur them.

it is the 1st.

Romans banded in?  Whuh?

I suppose Galba's alright, if you only want 5 kills at a time and are willing to settle for a 3 measly discards. If on the other hand...

   Esaux2
   Archers of Kedarx5
   Egyptian Archersx5
   Huge Egyptianx2

   Egyptian Horsesx5
   Egyptian Spearx5
   Wonders Forgottenx5
   Gib Trickx5

Kill 10 in territory, Discard 6 cards from the deck.

The problem with this plan is that "Wonders Forgotten" doesn't ITB like 2kh.  Therefore, this devestation would only happen once, whereas the PG version could happen over and over :)

Egyptian Horses replaces Two Thousand Horses, and Wonders Forgotten replaces Forgotten History...or am I misunderstanding something?

Wonders doesn't Itb neither does history ;). I'd use King Shishak X 2 as well.
You can't itb on the archers like you can with the assyrian archers.

Egyptian Horses is the ITB.  So, you can repeat as long as they have heroes to kill.

The real drawback is that you need an additional Egyptian to play Horses on--because it doesn't let you play next on an Archer.

I'd use King Shishak X 2 as well.

King Shishak is indeed superior to Huge Egyptian.  I got carried away with the FoOF/RoA theme.

Yeah, but then you have to worry about taking out your opponent's LS's. Then again, I'm sure that's not a terribly huge problem in T2.

King Rehoboam => Samson's Sacrifice

Lost Soul that makes 1st Enhancement cannot be prevented + Ashera Pole + Choose Rescuer=> OT Hero + Random Mean Stuff

Worship of Milcom on Abijah so he is 1/1
Convert Abijah to gold
Put him in Judges Seat

or just Lacking Sleep on a regular judge...yeah that's easier.
