I used to play a similar deck and I would advise against Haggi. He seems great with a free band and searching out temple, but what ends up happening is the band gets negated, leaving you with a hero you can't play anything on. Plus search has a lot more counters than it used.

I might take out Haggai and Joiakim, Son of Joshua for Abiathar and one other tabernacle priest, take your pick (i might do Phineas). then you could put Aaron's rod in, eli's sound advice or trumpet and sword. you can also put in Dutiful priests and gifts and offerings. those are really powerful.  :2cents:
Some call me "Goofus"

Way too many enhancements, especially the evil ones.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I used to play a Z's Temple T2 deck that had all of the banding, all the protection, and all the abusing of Fellowship Offering. It was really fun. Then they printed Scattered and the other underdeck cards.  :(

I don't know how often Scattered and underdeck is played in the current meta. If it is seen on a regular basis, you most likely would need to completely rejigger the offense.

Way too many enhancements, especially the evil ones.
And what do *you* know about Philistine defenses?

Last bit was totally joking (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YxsVxuuFf0).

If you're considering to get back into the game on a competitive level, curious how your deck compares geographically, or want technical data about your deck. I would recommend getting a Deck Analysis done to your deck. This way you can make a decision whether to invest or not into your deck, or get an idea of which concepts to change.

Visit www.Facebook.com/DeckMetrics for deck analyses, even for other games
