The offense is a little odd; I haven't seen something like this before.  It could maybe work is you change some stuff and play your cards PERFECT   Take out the musicians and but in Jairus' daughter.  For your NT women, you need 'he is risen'.  It's and interrupt, which is awesome, and it sets them aside for the number of turns for each NT female out, which for u would be four (SWEET) Put that in for transfig.  Put in king amaziah for some CTB, which is cool;D  Put in valley of salt for cymbals of the levites.  I see what you're doing w/ lost coin and moses and elder: trying to recycle AoC or something awesome like that.  It's cool, but i'm not sure of it's effectiveness.  If anything lost coin found and put in he is risen.  King david is cool, but the rest can go out for purple kings like king hyram, king jotham and like melchezidek.  Then put in king david's throne for Kingdoms of this world.  AoC and unified kingdom can stay, but take out great faith and put in peace treaty.  NOW, onto the defense: frankly, it's too small.   hophni and phinehas are a one time block and their ability can be interrupted.  Put in The rabshekah and the Rabsaris for them.  take out confusion for the rabsaris attacks and add in forgotten history and 2k horses for the rabshekah.  Put in a small assyrian for king jehoiakin.  For some space, take out harvest time, guardian and hopper.  Book of the covenant can go too; it takes some time to set up.  Take out the three covenants and put in priestly crown for site access, carried into exile and assyrian tribute.  Ya told me to tear it apart and i did have fun

I almost always use standalone defenses; I wanted to try something new, and the more I look at this defense, the better I like it; King Jehoiakin will almost always have initiative, so I can play Confusion and then DoU, and my opponent will never be able to negate; my Messenger of Satan can band in one of my opp's EC's, and then I can use Achan's Sin to permanently get rid of everything (including whatever battle-winner was played last); Hophni and Phineas speak for themselves, as does Prince of this World, naturally - he's probably all the standalone I need, for the most part anyway.

I guess I could go with standalone if you really think it's best. I was really looking forward to using Confusion though.

I already have David and Achan's Sin, and I don't think Throne would really help since all I have is David, but I can definitely see myself taking out the Covenant stuff.
