The point of this deck is to make David a hoss. If you're able to get him out with Drawn Out, and have Caves out, he's invulnerable to everything except Removal (temporarily), Withdraw and Conversion. That, combined with his low numbers and Prophet status gives you all kinds of good plays with him. He can use basically every Enhancement in the deck, and many of them Interrupt in case you do get hit with something that can target him.
He also has his Mighty Men to back him up, with FbtNB and CTB. In addition, he's got the other two Kings associated with him on deck to draw him out, nuke some stuff, get Fortresses out, and fill out the ranks. His trusty adviser Nathan is also along for the ride, ready to bail him out if he gets Destructive Sin or a Paralysis Enhancement placed on him.
The Egyptian Defense is in there because it's compact and potent, works with Warrior's Spear to Discard more nasties from deck, and Herods are just OP anyway. I also seem to remember something about David making peace with the Egyptians, and if so, it would go with the theme, too.
This is a fun deck but I'd also like to see if I can get it to win some games. If you have any ideas (such as how to incorporate Musician's Chambers or Helmet of Brass, or a better way to Protect him from Discard) that enable me to still keep the theme, I'd like to hear them. Just basically any way I can make this deck better (and smaller) without getting rid of the fun stuff.
I've seen a lot of silly theme decks (Christmas?) and a few serious ones (Army of God), but I'd like it if I could get this one to be not just good for a theme deck, but good in general. Thanks for the advice!
