This is the last of the eleven decks that I use and offer to our playgroup members to try out.  I hope you newer players looking for ideas have found these beneficial, and thanks for your patience with the "formatting".

Yeah.  I thought about that one.  It's a definite good addition, although I've never won a battle with it for some reason   It's hard to see banding cards as battle-winners, but it does give th hero more to "shoot at"   Thanks for the suggestion.

Sanhedrin is actually rather pointless in this deck. The 1/3 Sadducees can already band to all of the other Sadducees (yes, all means all, at the same time), and since you don't use any Pharisees, Sanhedrin is just wasted space.

Also, 70 cards is a lot. The only reason a T1 deck should be that big is if it is a heavy-defense deck with the goal of slowing down the tempo of the game. I would take out:

Paladin
Unity in Christ (not helpful at all)
Trust in the Lord
One of the HP's or TFG
Net
Babel
1 Lost Soul

That gets you down to 63, which is a reasonable size for a balanced offense/defense.

i like paladin~and unity in christ, i say add ship to cyprus and joanna w/ tgt and cut it 2   50 with your defence able to take out thier blocks id needed.
