This deck is 48 cards. I like Eternal Covenant, it can easily have Reverance and Awe with good fortresses, Ends of the Earth, Treacherous Land, or even High Place. There's a lot I can do with those 2 cards. Mett's Begats as well has been heavily considered. Storehouse will probably be added due to so many cards getting a good fortress easily. I always like Goshen, and Noah's Ark. More than likely I will add Storehouse and Noah's Ark though to make it 50.

This version of Postee's uses Prophet support to gain access to consistency cards and utilizes a protected meek band with Noah.
Zadok is in Reserve but Achim/Zadok * abilities, VB, Numerous, Z Plumb, and Book of the Law all get him.

Nehemiah exchanges to Zerubbabel (Jacob/Jeshua are great middle pieces here as well), to Eleazar, to Zadok. Zadok can then band to Haggai and/or Zechariah (very good after an early Impartial Judgement), or you can band to Jeremiah (another strong band, but also great after an early IJ, or you bring in Noah for the main attack. This band with Noah means Zerubbabel is meek and Noah, so they are both protected from evil cards, and I prevent cards. So, I have a mostly protected band that prevents everything moving forward. Noah's shuffle is another tactic that helps after an IJ, if needed, or is great to take out a target you don't care about to force the IJ to be even better.

The enhancements are all consistency pieces in main deck. Once IJ is played (in this deck it wants it played early) you then get out First Sacrifice/Teaching in Parables and just keep attacking with a Zechariah band/Jeremiah band. The same Nehemiah band is used, but Ezra goes in first to bounce Zerubbabel or Noah. Book of the Law does the other one. Amazing Faith is great for a big band and even better if they play an evil * card that's CBP in a Zechariah band.

Once you play an aggresive/early IJ, you want to snag Jeremiah/The First Sacrifice/Teaching in Parables to continue to put pressure on them. This also gives for a Hero and 2 GE's to give hand access., two of which are done pre-rescue to give you the optimal attack. I would love to have a Jonah/Jesse in here for further ways to restrict them, but I am heavy in heroes, and I need meek heroes down, something has to give. In a T2 version they would definitely be in. Eliud is another IJ aftermath target for the band. This deck, in general, limits resources for the opponent big time.

The defense is fast, I just realized I left out Balaam's Prophecy, so that will be one of the 2 cards, Storehouse/BP seems like the move. Burial is great, Unsuccessful/Scattered/Balaam's are all great blocks. Denarius to Emperor is a neaer must in most decks now, IMO. Forbidden Marriage can go out for something else, but I feel there's a lot of speed to get into the blocks this deck needs. I would like an evil negate or two as well, can't fit everything. I think a Lurking/Foreign Wives or Lurking to a negate EC is better than in Reserve. I just like Profane to Unforbidden.
