The best Fbtnb decks utilize the warrior class banders much more than anything else. Jacob+Moses and Aaron+Moses are good but those band are much too conditional. It is better to have characters that can all band to each other, that way your offense doesn't have to wait to long to set up. Maharai, Helez, Abishai, and Beneiah are all characters to be considered. Secondly let your banding chain win you battles. You really don't need all the battle winners you have. I would keep David's Triumph, Sams edict, and asp as a philistine check though. So I would take out: Zeal, Bravery of David, Council of Abigail, and put in: Maharai, Helez, Benenaih. This way you can use your smaller bands to set up until you get the big chain going, while all the while you still have access to a plethora of CBN enhancements. The deck looks solid.

You would go with David's Triumph over Bravery? Why's that?
So your suggesting this:
OUT
Zeal
Bravery of David
Council of Abigail
Phineas
Aaron
First Fruits
IN
Maharai
Helez
Benaiah
and maybe Deborah's Directive for another big band? Do you think Ahimelek would be helpful for deb's directive?
-
Triumph is especially good against Phillies, who (with Goliath and 12FG) are especially nasty against FBTNB.
-
Get a huge warrior class banding chain, then then throw in strong angel. (negates all special abilities on non warrior class charachters and enhancements.)

Well, I have some pretty big WC banding chains, but what should I use to band in TSA?
-
I dont remember, but my friend has a deck that does what i previously stated. i know he had the blue banding hero, one of the new red heroes, TSA, Asahel, etc...

anything that can band the TSA in would have to CBN, and I don't know of any card that can do that. Did you mean CotH who negates everything except banding? Jacob, Simeon, ect. can band to him
-
From my knowledge there is a version of strong angel that negates only abilities on NON warrior class enhancements and charachters.

Right, all you have to do is use israelite archer to band to him.

Phillies are you main issue and since you band David's Triumph takes care of them better as Bravery only works if you have attack with a lone hero.
For the offense you should leave in Aaron Moses and First Fruits I did not suggest taking those cards out. As for Deborah's Directive I think you should pass, I mean, you should already have enough numbers in battle and it would be bad attacking with a lone hero anyway when you can just use your chain (which you need anyways to make DD be effective).
-
yeah just use the huge banding chain, use the angel at shur promo to search for all of your heroes, use the desert stronghold or whatever to protect them in, and then rescue with a huge banding chain, band Iarchers to TSA, then you dont even need enhancements. you can also use either the artifact that reduces the numbers on evil charachters, or use the artifact that doesnt let ECS band.

Do you think that 1st fruits will be worth it on just two characters (assuming I add Maharai)?
-
You will have three. Aaron, Phineas, and Maharai so yeah I would say its worth it.
-
You also should pit in Heldia.
