Here is version 2 of my Daniel deck.  I was originally against the meek souls over normal souls as my build highly utilized the exile soul to get out I Am Creator and CwD, but after seeing Daniels Prayer and Gabe’s addition of Moses, which serves much the same purpose as CwD and can be gotten out with Faith, I decided to give it another try and found the meek souls to be better (not better enough to be a UR, that's for sure, but still better).

Cards with a * next to it are non-Daniel, everything else is.  17 out of 50 cards in the main deck are non-Daniel.  Excluding the Dominates that leaves only 10 cards that could be changed for Daniel cards, and 4 of them (Angelic Guidance, Consider the Lilies, 5th Seal, and Love Righteousness) search each other out so they all get taken out of the deck on turn 1 or 2 usually, making the deck super consistent. 

Just like Gabe’s deck, this deck has some trouble with soul drought, but Majestic Heaves and Ends in reserve helps.  It would be nice to get some better reserve access (Storehouse used to be in, which helped a lot in getting out the curses, now i need to be a lot more careful in using Endless Treasure, using it only once I’m sure I don't need Flying Scroll) but anything I add would cut down on consistency.  I could see taking out Falling Away and adding a Dom that can be searched out by Wages and/or Fiery Furnace for added consistency.  I like the tin version of Winged Lion over the new version, as putting a card into reserve is a high price to pay when I lack reserve access and being CBN protected from green is pretty powerful in the right situation, but I could be convinced otherwise if someone sees something I don’t in the new ones potential.  Any advice is welcome!

Im considering it, it would hit my CwD, and thats a major player in this deck, and my offence is mostly negates at this point so i dont know if the negate is needed, but i agree its worth testing

I like the idea of aliens in reserve, as hes CBP to work when CwD is up and wages can get him along with deceiver, but what to take out? Seized by babylon?

Daniels prayer and www get him out of discard, flying scroll if they take him.  Usually after a few turns of TFA I have drawn enough to get going and if I lose him its not the end of the world.  The band is still super strong without the CBN, and after a few turns of drawing its not 100% reliabke to get the CBN going anyway 

Angelic guidance is already in there, early versions had everlasting beings, just wasnt needed enough to justify the non daniel spot imo

Any advice on more ways to get to CwD in reserve? Would likento add storehouse, but i cant think of a nondaniel card to take out...

Covenant of Prayer can grab CwD and Consider the Lilies can grab CoP, but you are back to what to cut for it...


Godspeed,
