Edited.  Cut down to 56.  Any suggestions welcome.

well.... i have had some expirience with this type of deck. lemme tell you something though. add abishai, pitch aoc, add king david, and find a way to add in trembling demons. u could add israelite archer i f you haven't added him, also put in a way of doing a captain band with the second seal. there's my 

nvm don't listen to me lol i am confused as well....

That rule only allows them to be in the same deck.  Only one copy of any unique character, in any of its forms, can be in play.

I think I would drop the purple. King David is a great card, but his large numbers make it unlikely you will be able to play unified kingdom. Even as it is, having two purple enhancements with only one possible target for them seems like trouble. Oh and don't forget, if your green David hits the table first, your purple one can't be there until he dies. If nothing else, definitely lose Unified Kingdom.

I'm also not entirely sure that Ira fits with what you are trying to accomplish here either, but he's decent enough on his own.

Ira (Ki) fits with the weapon class banding chains (Maharai, Heldai, Helez, and Israelite Archer can all band to him).  I took out King David pretourny.  Unified Kingdom can be used by the green David, and ET.  I might remove AoC promo, but it helped me a ton at getting rid of pesky evil characters, banding defenses, and weapon class enhancements with ET.  

I think you have too many lost souls. Isn't 63 8?

Hey,

I find it ironic that a deck titled "David and his Mighty Men" does not have the card David's Mighty Men in it.

Tschow,

Can your offense beat your defense? I have deck checked about fifty decks this year at states and regionals and I did not see one defenseless deck. I have seen all mono color strong defenses and if you can beat this defense you should be good.

At 63 cards it could.  I'm going to try 56 and see.  I think it should help get out the banding sooner.  The on time I got shut down 5-2 I only drew 1 banding character for my FBTNB the whole game (Israelite archer).  I took out Unified Kingdom, The Strong Angel, and Chariots (didn't use once in 7 rounds).  I usually average 1 GE played per game (Usually Brass Serpent, or AoC).  Somehow I managed to never use Abe's Servant to Ur the entire tournment, and provision was only useful once for ctb purposes.  I ran into 1 defensiveless, and barely won 5-4, and ran into one hero lite and won 5-0.  The main thing was no one really prepared for FBTN.  I saw 2 HoH and 1 Golden Calf in 7 rounds (HoH and GC in the herolite game). (I saw mostly HHI, and CoM which were much easier to get around).  Blue Tassels + Lampstand was the biggest killer I saw (versus another FBTN deck).
