GoC Play Test - Disciples + Pharisees/Sadducees

It's always interesting to see what play test decks look like after you have access to the new cards. Keep in mind that play test decks aren't usually meant to be an optimal build of a deck, but usually sacrifice the use of better cards in order to allow a chance to test some of the new cards that might not otherwise make the cut. This particular deck is from our first or second round of testing so most of these cards underwent changes since this build. However, the premise of the deck is still a good starting point for those of you looking to build with your freshly opened GoC phase 1 cards.

*Phase 1 card
#Phase 2 card

50 CARD DECK

DOMINANTS 7
Angel of the Lord
Son of God
The Second Coming
#The Resurrection
Chronicles of the Kings
Three Woes
Falling Away

LOST SOULS 7
Lost Soul "Escape"
Lost Soul "Imitate"
*Lost Soul "Galileans"
*Lost Soul "Harvest"
#Lost Soul "Defiled"
#Lost Soul "Revealer"
*Lost Soul Mark 1:40 Meek

SUPPORT CARDS 5
Patmos
*Golgotha
*Temple Veil
#Four-Drachma Coin
Unsuccessful

HEROES 11
Reassuring Angels
*Simon the Zealous
*Thaddeus
*Matthew the Publican
#Andrew First Called
#Simon Peter
*Judas Iscariot
*Thomas the Twin
#John the Fisherman
*Philip of Bethsaida
#James the Fisherman

GOOD ENHANCEMENTS 5
*Sent Two by Two
*Walking on Water
*Authority of Christ
*The Lord's Prayer
*I Am He

EVIL CHARACTERS 9
*The Brood of Vipers
The Chief Priests
*The Expert Lawyer
*Insincere Inquisitors
The Sanhedrin
*Simon the Host
High Priest Ananias
*Supercilious Scribes
*Disciples of the Pharisees

EVIL ENHANCEMENTS 6
*Pretension
Plot to Kill
*Tenants Kill the Son
Scattered Sheep
*Just a Hireling
*Clinging to Power

RESERVE 10
*Transfiguration
*Elijah in Glory
Moses (pick your favorite version)
*Matthias
*The Great Commission
*Caiaphas the Conspirator
*Annas the Elder
Stricken
*High Priest's Plot
*Strict Sabbath

There's 1 meek Lost Soul in an attempt to see how few can be used while still gaining the benefit from certain cards. It helps to have characters in the deck that will play the meek Lost Soul to gain a benefit and other characters that will underdeck it so that it can be used again. This deck was blazing fast during testing, sometimes decking out as early as turn 3.

At the time that I was testing this deck Bartholomew, Fishing Boat and Herod’s Temple all had different, sub-par abilities which is why they weren’t included. They probably should be in now.

Still a lot of cards in this list we haven't seen yet. Exciting!

You should visit Discord more often.  :P Short story short, we don't know yet. Maybe after the second print run, maybe after the third, could be a couple months, but no official word yet.
