I made a type 2 post for this topic as that's my field of expertise, but type 1 is not my forte. From what I have seen, Nationals will have numerous deck types, but the dominant archetypes will be: Throne, BoM, Revelation Angels, Martyrs, Musicians, some clay splashes, hybrid offenses out of what I just listed. Children of Light offenses seem to be picking up speed last minute, but people might shy away because the nature of the deck/play style. It's a very advanced deck and if those places enhs are not out, then people can be afraid to rescue if CoL isn't fully protected.
Plenty of white to go around, that's for sure.
Defenses will be splash, Pharisees, demons, maybe some small crimson or Philistines. Possibly the brown/white deck that's had a lot of success this year will see different people experiment with their takes on it.
Any deck that's consistently fast, balanced and has not only the best reserve access, but best reserve, will have the advantage.
Not sure what other offenses and defenses will make the competitve play, but plenty of fun decks will be there. Did I miss anything, leave any strong types out? Any surprise decks out there?

Revelation Angels with Job Support and the Job defense with Orange splash seems like a very viable option.

I think the Revelation Angels will be the speed element and then Job will be the closer late game (with his Reserve access grabbing all the Job enhancements so they aren't taking up space in the main deck).

That could be done in a 50-56 card deck. A quick Job deck that rescues early with silver and tries to hurt their hand then RA with Job. But, that takes up 4-6 spots in your reserve, plus Job has support cards and using silver really limits your defense in that small of a deck when you are trying to wear the opponent down. I will be interested to see if people play that style due to top cut being so competitive. A deck that has to win towards the end of the game has an extreme disadvantage to get into top cut.

With Third Seal, I am Holy, Endurance of Job and Job's Faith, it could be very easy to empty an opponent's hand of defense in a couple turns allowing you to pick up free souls in quick succession. 

4th and 6th Bowls of Wrath too

Every Tribe is going to be such a boss in multi.

I'm legit surprised I didn't see more of him in State and Regional T2 MP games...didn't really play any T1 MP so not sure if he was showing up in that meta, but very surprised he wasn't used in T2 MP.
