This deck is currently 50 cards... awaiting suggestions... (57 might be nice to get FA back in)....

A couple of explanations I owe...

Deck Purpose
The "new wine" deck (I've made several) idea always centers around an NT offense allowing me to abuse Ashera Pole or Golden Calf. The defense enhances the Garden Tomb, in this case by using Samarias to kill off the right ECs in Territory.

Choice of Evil Characters
Keep in mind without Samuel, I have no reason to run King Saul. Jeroboam and Nadab fit well for several reasons. Jeroboam can pull out his Idolatry (for another turn) or I could discard him with Generous Widow to get Nadab recurring, etc.

The wave of CBN "negate evil discard evil" cards are hard to stop. Here's an attempt to slow them down:
1) Jeroboam's Idolatry protects from the first enhancement. Since the card is set aside, it should not be easily targeted for negate.
2) At least 1 "Herod's-Temple-Able" character because, with the exception of Joseph Before Pharaoh, the meta kill cards are all CBN discard

*Currently I have Wicked Thief. Reasons for using him...
1) As a 3/4 he gets initiative against the majority of heroes
2) He is another Non-Royalty to help against David
3) If they attempt to discard him, I can use Herod's Temple

Herod the Great is so powerful against the surge of FBTN-B I might pop him in this place. I've been owned my friend Zach's Herod many times 

OOPS! Good point on the Enhancements! If I was gonna use him I would at least take Wickedness of Tenants out for Korah's Rebellion (CBN w/Pole)

I'm mostly wanting something that I can surprise with out of hand against an oncoming Edict or Bravery of David. I wish brown had a random 10/10 brown NT human or something... then I could give them initiative and back up my character with HT. Basically I've got Angry Mobs to work with for another brown NT EC lol... Govener Felix is 6/8 but even HE is royalty, lol

Hm... other Human NT EC options?

The highest numbered one that fits your description is The Rich Young Ruler.

Nice CJ, lol. Almost makes me want to run him just to say I had Rich Young Ruler in a Deck
