I don't find it to be worth a slot in any deck I make, and I have played judges in T1+T2 for awhile.  It's just not worth it over alternatives in your deck, and you shouldn't need as many battle-winners due to the speed and CtB choices.

If you like Sword Against Sword, you might also like Ambush the City.  It starts a new battle while keeping the current blocker(s) and thus gets around some of the better counters to your deck.  You'll usually be able to set up a better rescue by forcing their better block first and then bypassing it completely.  I personally also like WWW since it allows you to pull Angels out of discard when you just have to have a judge that was lost, and it lets you speed through your deck very fast (Sam or AwSN + WWW = AutO, who you need; then, you attack with AutO with WWW on him, go to deck to get Jair or another judge, and the next time WWW comes out you also get AutO back).

Shamgar's Oxgoad is good too. It's CBN with AwASN, kills phillies, and has great numbers for moses. I also prefer David over King David because Samuel can band to him. Aaron is also nice.

King David is great because his ability stops quite a few popular EC, but I agree that green is probably better.  The Green David can start battle still as AutO through Sam, he's a target for WWW, and he gives you another target for Provisions, which should be in if you have both Sam and David, and definitely if you add Aaron.  On Aaron, U+T is a great add and he could be useful with Moses as always.

Eli's Sound Advice is one of my favorite cards for judges. That works be a great add and even more so if you add Aaron, which you should.

I'm not a huge fan of Deb's Directive. Until they've played Scattered, you're never sure if you're setting yourself up for a huge loss. I'd much prefer using Eli's Sound Advice.

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Forgot that one, and yes it is a great add.  Works on Moses and Aaron, and Eli the Priest counts for both parts, U+T, and pulls out Tabernacle artifacts so he's a nice one to consider too.
