Updated. I took out HoH, Trembling Demon, and Torment. Added some Priest stuff with Sabbath Breaker. I'm thinking of cutting Bravery and A Soldier's Prayer and adding maybe a Lampstand or perhaps another Priest. My question is, do I need Bravery & Soldier's Prayer?

Personally I would leave in WoP, I think that the likelihood of someone stealing your banding chain is far greater than the likelihood t of someone using Goliath on you.

I would also put in Kings TSA for AWSN, FBTN is great in multi.

The thing that intrigues me is the lack of Gomer, Kot, and Plot, have you found what you're using to be better?

With so many CBN/CBP battle winners these days, and CBN/FBTN banding, I doubt that Gomer/KoT will better than maybe a first turn block, especially in multi. Plot might be nice, but my budget doesn't really allow for ripping cards.
Survivor generates a soul even after DoU. Messenger of Stan is there just for another guy to play Death of Unrighteous and his ability might be nice to an Uzzah or Sabbath Breaker.

Fair enough. Have you considered adding in some magicians and charms though? I'm thinking you might want to take out messenger of Satan, Vittles, and maybe WoP (as much as I like it) for Damsel, another magician, and charms. Regardless of whether you do that or don't I suspect it won't make too much of a difference.

Magicians were in here originally, but I took them out because I'm guessing protection from capture (Tassels and such) and large bands will be prevalent especially at Nats. I might decide to put them back in though. I'd probably take out Writ instead of WoP if I did.

I actually really don't like the use of soul generation in MP. While it seems useful, I think you are probably overdoing it. Realistically, you should only be soulgenning if the person to your right is attacking you (So that no one else can have a shot to rescue your soulgens), so a lot of time, I think they end up being sort of wasted. Also, soul drought is harder (albeit more frustrating) to occur in MP.

Red Wing · « **Reply #6 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:08:27 PM »

Thanks for the comments, updated. Put some Magicians with Charms in.

You could add more of the ones who band.

More banding heroes you mean?

Nameless · « **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2012, 05:05:51 PM »

Heldai,Maharai, Helez and some others that work with Asahel and Izzy Archer and Ishmia and all band to Ira or Benaniah.

Good idea, but what could I take out?

Nameless · « **Reply #11 on:** May 24, 2012, 05:15:22 PM »

Maybe some of the less useful Sam stuff. Overall your deck might look sorta like this

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #12 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:36:31 PM »

Too many ECs and defensive cards.

Isildur · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:09:15 AM »

Im some what out of the loop these days on how defenses roll but what is the point of you using Egyptian Magicians and Emp. V.? Also the single block you get out of using 2 cards (Trembling and Holy of Holies) seems like a waste when you can just use Kot or something like that.

Nameless · « **Reply #14 on:** June 01, 2012, 08:39:50 AM »

Emp V is for drawing tons of cards.

Trembling Demon+HoH can get another block with Torment. Vittles is to draw as nameless said. KoT is just too easy to kill with all the banding and interrupts these days.

I took out the magicians for Writ, Mahari, and First Fruits.

I look forward to checking this deck in, haha. Looks pretty solid Jacob, the WC FBTN banding characters bring me back a few years, classic

Here's just a couple thoughts:
I would cut Eli's Sound Advice for The Strong Angel (Ki) (+2: NT for access, Angel 'for to own' Writ and Charms).
I would trade First Fruits for Feast of Trumpets (it generates souls and as a bonus even lines up with your brigades better).
I would trade Mustering for War for Provisions (from D3 to D2+CtB, both take 2 turns).

I'll add TSA, but I think I'll take out Angel with a Secret Name. He never seems that useful. Feast of Trumpets is a good idea, but I'm not too worried about soul generation in multi. I'll consider it though. Mustering for War can be searched/recurred by A Soldier's Prayer, but maybe Provisions would be better.

Can't wait for States!

You probably do not need Ahimilek.

Maybe not, but I like to have two Canaanites to hold Sword, and he's protected from capture. He can also win a battle with Directive. Another thing I like to do with him is to return King Saul to my hand then play Mayhem, so I can search him out to draw with Samuel again (assuming I don't redraw him).

Bump, see top of first post.

Master Q · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2012, 12:41:12 PM »

I would def keep Brav. & ASP. You can't go wrong with a CBN negate (potential discard) or an enhancement that can search for it or Foreign Sword.

As an aside, in MP, I would def switch AotL for Grapes. For your deck, I would switch First Fruits for Pentecost and Mustering for War for David's Triumph. Brass Serpant (p) seems a natural fit too, if you want to try that. I'd also switch Maharai w/ Captain o' the Host (ki) since he does a lot more for you than an extra bander/person to play FF on (esp if you decide to take it out).

needs pentecost for more speed.

I only have Phineas and Aaron to play it on though…
