Faith>False A LaFS Variation

Hi Guys,

I've also been working on an LaFS list - I went a slightly different direction than Jay and Jeremy did as I was working independently of them. After reviewing their list I think they may have a slightly better way of "Comboing" than what I'm working with. (Both of us are super, super consistent) Mine allows for the opponent to have greater counter play if you know what's coming. However, I vastly prefer my defense, and what I'm doing after I combo. I'm playing cards like Vain Visions, False Prophecy and Balaam's Prophecy to stack your deck after I combo. Once I wipe you out, there's no way back in. Here's the list in full, you'll notice plenty of overlap.


Lost Souls: 7

Lost Soul (Escape)
Lost Soul (Lawless)
Lost Soul (Remant)
Lost Soul (Hunter)
Lost Soul (Awake)
Lost Soul (Jeremiah 28:6) (Exiles)
Lost Soul Luke 15:15-16 (Pigs)

Dominants: 7

Angel of the Lord (A)
Chronicles of the Kings (LoC Plus)
Vain Vision (PoC)
Son of God (Promo 2018)
The Second Coming (CoW AB)
Ride on Victoriously / Awesome Things (LoC)
Three Woes (RoJ AB)

Utility: 4

Delivered
Endless Treasures
Book of the Covenant (PoC)
Forbidden Fruit

Heroes: 12
Jared, the Beholder / Jared (Shall Come Down) (LoC)
David, Heart After God / David, the Contrite (LoC)
Terah, the Delayed / Terah, the Wanderer (LoC)
Moses, Friend of God
Jeremiah, Hope Bringer
Nahor, the Scorched / Nahor, the Noble (LoC)
Jotham, the Mighty / Jotham, the Upright (LoC)
Jehoshaphat, the Seeker / Jehoshaphat, the Meek (LoC)
Father Abraham / Faithful Abraham (LoC)
Amos (PoC)
Abram's Army
Jacob, Follower of God / Israel, Retainer of God (LoC)

Good Enhancements: 7
A Soldier's Prayer
Solomon's Dream (LoC)
Judah's Intervention (LoC)
Offering Your Son
The Emmaus Road
Faith
Numerous as the Stars (PoC)

Evil Characters: 7

Damsel with Spirit of Divination (TxP)
False Leaders (PoC)
False Prophets (PoC)
Profane Daughters
The False Prophet (RoJ AB)
The Lying Prophet
Foreign Wives

Evil Enhancements: 6

Divination (TxP)
Balaam's Prophecy
Famine in the Land (LoC)
False Peace (PoC)
False Prophecy (PoC)
The Wages of Sin (FoM)


Reserve:
Covenant with Abraham (PoC)
Noah, the Righteous / Noah (Rest and Comfort) (LoC)
Manasseh, the Humbled / Manasseh, the Wicked (LoC)
Oath of Purity (LoC)
Unsuccessful (PoC)
The Angel of the Winds (CoW AB)
Seven Years of Famine
The Serpent (Promo)
Love at First Sight (LoC)
Bravery of David (RoA)


A few interesting cards that are different and why I'm playing them:

Jotham the Mighty gives you an alternative to Jared to grab LaFS.
Oath of Purity gives you reset options for David/Jared/Abraham to continue applying pressure. (Also can clear EC's going second)
Manasseh is sneaky good as both a Red Warrior for ASP and a PG Magician for Divination and Balaam's Prophecy. (I even had one game where I used him as both with Oath of Purity in my prep phase to set up the combo)

So now you have two different lists attempting the same thing to either copy, or plan on how to beat. Good Luck and happy deckbuilding!

Thank you for sharing. Really well crafted and cool to see a non-Creation version of the combo.

John here's my question. I tried this out in a game and I'm struggling with how to get LaFS out again from discard. I know ASP gets it but that's all I see. In this variant, is it possible to get it back more than once? I may be missing something. My defense isn't the same as I'm missing a couple cards for it. So I'm using Mediums/Demons for quick cheese blocks. What are your thoughts on this?

In this version you shouldn’t need to pull LaFS more than once. In theory, you go first, wipe their hand and get a free LS. Then you use one of the 3 False Prophet deck stackers to ensure their D3 won’t get them back in the game. Get a free LS on turn 2 and stack their deck again. On turn 3 you take your 3 free LS (or AotL if they’ve drawn defense) and play your 2 rescue Doms ftw.

If you don’t use False Prophets you miss out on one of the biggest advantages of John’s build - denying them a recovery from LaFS.
