So this is a revamp of my old Gates of Hell idea. Basically what you do is you try to get out Chariots of Fire and Gates of Hell asap so you can discard your whole deck. Normally you can get this down within the first three to five turns and surprise your opponent with a full fledged defense and offense to quickly win the game.
Offense is simple. FBTN WA Class banding chain with Gabe + Striking Herod as a backup. Defense is a Demon spam with a focus on Greek Demons. I at one point used to use Greek and Persian Demons in the same deck but I decided to dump the Persians and use Legions instead.
The back up plan for the deck if Chariots gets killed by a Destruction is Ezekiel + Valley of Dry Bones and Chamber + Smart use of Angels.
Looking for comments on the deck since the last time anyone was using Gates decks was before Boston Nats. Btw I am not looking to change the four doms I am using but the other 52 cards are up for debate.

with a deck like this you could run arrest at gethsemane...i was going to post more til i noticed there wasnt any evil enhancements, prolly b/c I am a huge abomb fan. I was going to say cards like, Rejoice lost soul and Loaves and Fishes hoping they had a new home.
