Yes, very splashy, how did it work? it looks to unfocused, and very easily beaten, though your dominants were very good, and since you have falling away, I would suggest adding burial and the lost souls card because you can waste two rescue attempts instead of one with that card. Also, burial can be used after they have rescued it once, making them waste even another rescue attempt!

This deck was not easily beaten by a Z-Temple/Philistine deck, I can personally say. I think he beat me 5 to 2. This was in large part because (I didn't have that great a deck anyway) of Confusion which I would recommend taking out  >:(

Personally, I am a big fan of Holy unto the Lord, if you want another teal enhancement.

I've considered it, but I'm not particularly keen on taking out any of the current Doms, and I don't have an available copy of Souls (my stepbrother is using my only one). I might end up playng just the Souls and using DoU instead of Burial.

It did fairly well, I went 2-2 in T12P at the tournament. One of the losses was a horrible draw for me and a great draw for my brother (who I beat on a regular basis using the same decks), and a 4-5 loss to Tim.  Just now, I beat my stepbrother's disciples deck 5-1. Twice.

The offense is mostly supported standalone. Aaron/Moses and Isaiah get most of my rescues, divination sometimes lets Jepthah discard a soul, Ahimaaz has initiative and Joshua has CBN enhancements. Cherubim may come out, but Seraph helps Isaiah instarecur and AUtO gets Moses back. (Well, Jepthah too, I suppose, but mostly Moses)

The defense is your basic Assyrians/magicians with some brown.

This offense looks pretty nice, Deck's really too big though.

The offense looks a little spread out and thin, maybe try and add some more synergy.
