Here's what I currently have for my defense. It's a Israelite/Judean King combo. In that sense it's a pretty simple concept, but I have one pretty amazing combo in there that I think is pretty amazing. Using Gates of Samaria, I can beef up one of the Kings to some pretty high numbers (either King Ahab because he's already pretty high - except he has a pretty nice ability when banded to Jezebel - or King Omri because he's got the second highest toughness of the lot and his ability is pretty useless once I get a Samaria site or 2 out), then set him aside with Jeroboam's Idolatry. For several turns I'll be forcing my opponent to waste his/her first enhancement (unless they have some "utility" enhancements), depleting them of good battle winners more quickly.

Anyway, here are the cards:

Evil Characters:(7)
King Ahab (RA2)
Jezebel (RA2)
King Joram
King Omri
King Amon (Di)
King Manasseh (Di)
King Zedekiah

Evil Enhancements:(7)
Image of Jealousy (TP)
Jeroboam's Idolatry
Stiff-Necked
Breaking Jerusalem's Wall
Wickedness of the Tenants
Haman's Plot
Dungeon of Malchiah

Evil Fortresses:(2)
Gates of Jerusalem
Gates of Samaria

Anything that you think can be improved upon, let me know.

Looks pretty good. King Rehoboam (Di) would be nice though.

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: 7 / 6 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: If blocking, select any two Heroes in territories to fight each other. Protect this character from opponent's cards during that battle. • Play As: If blocking, select any two Heroes in territories to fight each other (side battle). Protect this character from opponent's cards during that battle. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, King (Judah), Royalty, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: I Kings 12:1 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

Idk who King Joram is so that probably means he should go out for someone better. Definitely needs Gibeonite Trickery.

I use him in a full-fledged GoS deck, but would probably cut him if the defense was Israel/Judah split. In this particular case, I would use Jeroboam I instead of him, since he can fetch/recur Jeroboam's Idolatry (interesting card, if it said 0/1 I would definitely use it, but 0/2, not to mention taking 1/7th of your blockers out of commission, is kind of steep even for your average */7 King).

Also, you definitely need a more reliable way to deal with King David than Image of Jealousy. Unlike most brown defenses which have Gomer, Uzzah, and or The Amalekite's Slave, less than zero percent of your blockers can block King David. Unholy Writ/Covenant with Death may help, but if a deck uses King David, they can get him out pretty quick via Samuel, and you have to hope that you get CM or Gates and a couple quick Samarias.

Great points. I actually was looking and decided to remove Joram and replace him with Nadab and Jeroboam I. I had originally cut them because Manasseh and Amon were a bit nicer and I originally didn't have Jeroboam's Idolatry in there so I figured Jeroboam I's ability was useless. Plus replacing the one guy with 2 guys means that Jeroboam's Idolatry removes a smaller portion of my defense from play. The fact that Jeroboam I and Manasseh are both good to have in the discard pile, I don't mind sacrificing them too much with Idolatry.
As for King David, I do have Unholy Writ in there, but I agree. He can totally wipe out my defense's usefulness in a moment and the fact that I didn't think about that sooner is pretty bad because I've tried both King decks previously and run into problems with him. Unholy Writ, Christian Martyr, and Image of Jealousy should be enough to take care of him, though I think, especially since I can get Image of Jealousy back from the discard pile with Nadab or Amon.
I'd consider throwing someone like Uzzah or Gomer in there, but I'm already out of space. This is a relatively large defense, especially for T1 2P where so many decks have almost no defense, so this is leaving me with little room for an offense.

If you take the kings of Judah along with gates of jerusalem and maybe one Evil enhancement, that gives you room for Uzzah, Gomer, Jeroboam I, Joram, and Jerobaom's Idolatry. Also Judges seem like they could be a good, relatively small Offense for this defense.

This is meant to be a 50-56 card deck. If you have a 30 card defense, then you add 7doms and 7 Lost Souls, then you have 12 cards left for offense at best. Plus you need Artifacts and maybe Sites (which are necessary for this defense because of the benefits received with Samaria sites. Tell me what offense you use that allows you to fit a 30 card defense into a 56 card deck.

Thanks for everyone's help. I decided to just stick with the Kings of Israel instead of mixing in Kings of Judah, which gave me room to add some non-royal characters to help me out. Also, I went with a red offense. I don't think it'll perform too well, but I've been wanting to try a red offense for quite some time and I really just needed something in the deck in order to test the defense. Full deck is listed below. One thing to note: I'm expecting the #Doms=#LS to pass eventually so I'm kinda gimping my deck by following the rule already.

Lost Souls
7 of the best Lost Souls that I had left over. Note I have Can't be Prevented in there to beef up the defense even more.

Total: 55 Cards

Offense is built to remove your evil characters from play in some way (Ahimelek, Jephthah, Passover, Lord Fights For You, etc) so that every time a character is played into territory Stronghold in the Desert does some magic (may come to bite me in the but with Jezebel in there). Also, every battle winner on offense is a different ability: convert, remove from game, capture, discard. This way if they have some protection from one or two things, I still have something that can win the battle.

You can leave comments if you want to, but I just felt like posting it back up here to let you know what became of this defense.

I'd make the following changes....

Out
Jael
Adino
Japhthah
Naharai
Warrior's spear
baggage
Power of the Cross
The Lord Fights For You
Altar of incense
Trumpet and Sword
passover and unleavened Bread

In
Ismaiah the Gibeonite
Samuel
David (red)
Uriah the Hittite
Foreign Sword
Counsel of Abigail
A Soldiers Prayer
David's Triumph
Bravery of David
Chariots of Fire
king Saul Evil 

Can you give good reasons for all of these? Who would get rid of Jephthah? I also hate Counsel of Abigail because I've run into too many situations where the enhancement I need to interrupt specifies "hero in battle" which means it doesn't change a thing.

Random points I'd like to make:

Foreign Sword: I think I have too few Canaanites to make it reliable, though it may still be a usable negate anyway. Plus I don't think that "return that card to the top of owner's deck" is "too good." Also, this is in another deck so I don't have one available anyway.

Adino: I really liked the idea of negating all the enhancements. It won me a lot of battles way back when (before Priests set).

Chariot of Fire vs Altar of Incense: This is a coin toss. This allows me to get Uriah back if he discards himself, but Altar of Incense can prevent an opponent from discarding me. I like the idea of bring Uriah back though, so I'll use Chariot.

Jael: Always good to have a female hero for the times when the opponent only has the Female-Only LS out. I will concede on this point though, because you're right that Asahel already has her ability and the replacements work together better.

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

Baggage and Power of the Cross: Very true. There are a lot of good interrupting/negating enhancements, but now there's so much discarding. If anyone is protected from discard, I have few options left.

A Soldier's Prayer: I don't own it

Trumpet and Sword: You only need a priest for the first part. I can still discard X evil characters, which can be quite a few (#OT Warrior Heroes)

Counsel of Abigail: I decided to agree with you. There are very few instances that really make this card useless, and there are enough other interrupts/negates that I don't have to rely on this card, so it's ok.

Passover & Unleavened Bread: Why isn't this that great? Foreign Sword needs to be played in battle and puts characters on the top of deck... this activates with the hero being put into battle to remove an opponent's option and puts them on the bottom of deck.

Overall I like your suggestions because the battle winners can interrupt (necessary with big numbers/banding) and because there is more speed. I have made a few tweaks due to missing cards and my own opinion, though. It doesn't promote the Stronghold in the Desert as much, but that's ok, because winning the lost souls is what matters.

Yea, but's there's no Abishai in this deck. Not that it isn't good without Abishai, but you mentioned him when he's not in the deck... I could add him though. This is still a 55 card deck.

True, but I probably wouldn't be using it to protect my heroes that much. I'd just use it for the discard mostly. And as long as I have a couple heroes not in there, I can get them back with Chariot.

I had thought of AS for a while, but I had decided I needed to keep the defense a little more slim and now with Saul in there... I really shouldn't be adding any more evil characters. SMC could be helpful, especially with the rising numbers from Gates and the already low-ish initiative on several characters.

I would suggest play-testing it now.

That may be the best suggestion I've gotten so far. I have to wait until tomorrow before I can though.
