I have reaffirmed my hatred for Counsel of Abigail, though I realized that I think you were telling me to add the new Counsel of Abigail, not the old one. I forgot about the new one because it's in a different deck. Anyway the old Counsel of Abigail is failing miserably most times because the card that I'm redirecting will still kill me or both of us.

All in all, though, this deck is doing moderately well. The defense works well unless Gates of Samaria is discarded or doesn't show up until too late, but there is generally enough speed in the deck. I've accidentally won a few too many fights with it though, because my friend keeps playing against it with Judges and his Jair protects from decrease, but we forget and he loses. Oh well. Same thing when I used Hunger in a different deck against him. You'd think we'd have figured it out by now.

Defense becomes pretty weak late game after I've exhausted most of the enhancements and Battle Winner chars. I keep getting Nadab early and he loses early on so I never get to bring back my enhancements. After that there are too many bigger guys that never get the initiative they need, and then when they do get their initiative the enhancements are 'cannot be PREVENTED' so they still interrupt and win anyway.

Sorry about the confusion, I did mean the New Counsel of Abby. Jair shouldn't be a problem if you have Image of Jealousy and enough non-decrease Battle winners. I don't really think late-game defensive weakness is neccesarily the Defenses' fault. It is more likely the offenses fault for not winning the game before the Defense is worn out. More Speed would probably help with that. 

Late game happens mostly because my opponent is lucky about not drawing lost souls.

Random points I'd like to make:

[Samuel: Love the drawing, but wishing he could band so someone who had some more banding to create a big banding party for Ishmaiah.

Armorbearer...

Armorbearer would be just another hero that can't use any enhancements.

Hopper LS, HT, and Ammy's Slave helps with LS generation.

True. I'm giving it a try. Hopefully he doesn't screw me over and end up being the first and only hero I get out for a while.
