This deck's strat is pretty obvious, BANDING. The banding chains come out super quick, it can pretty much attack right from the get go. It's kinda hard to stop like a three card banding chain in the first couple of turns. That's the idea, end the game really quickly. And I know everybody is going to say it, but so far the new lost souls have yet to hurt this deck too much.

I am really not fond of banding...good job.

Took out Holy Ground for Faithful Servant.

KoT could pose a problem if you get it out turn one, even then I have weapons to get around KoT. Odds are I'll get one of those weapons when you get KoT. Weapons Against FbtN include: AotL, HoH, Crown of thorns+ a large hero, A banding chain ending with TSA.

I personally like the warrior class/fbn banding. This is nice because the BTN can also be difficult to deal with at the beginning.

Helez, Maharai (kings), Israelite Archer, Heldai
Ira, Captain, TSA, Benaniah, Shamhuth (sometimes)

By the way I had forgot to add the sites... Sooo, now it's legal.

The deck is very good, it looks like a lot of fun. I have a couple suggestions. First, add Cov. with Moses to get around Household Idols. Right now the only ways you have to get around it are DON and captured ark. HHI completely shuts down your deck. Secondly, why no Captain? You should have more than fbtn character to band to, at least IMO. Two other cards that may really help are I am Creator and Angel at Shur, just in case you're missing parts of your chain and need to get them out. As far as defense, I would consider throwing a KoT in, to negate access special abilities, if your opponent draws one soon in the game, you really have no way to stop it. Plus, KoT is just good to have around Regardless, the deck looks pretty brutal as is. Good luck with it.

I'd add CoTH >.>

I'd love to pop a Unified kingdom against this deck XD

After playing it twice, I really only see a couple things I would think about changing.

I would take out:

Mentor - You never really needed the N.T. banding (and it can be stopped too easily)
Soldier of God - Same as above
Faithful Servant Promo - Same as above
Claudia - Same as above
Priests of Christ  - Same as above
New Jerusalem (site) - You already have an access site + Pretty much every brigade.
Maharai (wa) - Just switching it, see below.

I would put in:

Ira (ki) - More fbtn banding, hard to stop even by itself.
Captain of the Host (ki) - Same as above.
Benaiah (ki) - Same as above.
Maharai (ki) - Switching with the (wa) one since you'll be banding to the fbtn guys.
Alter of Incense - I think that's the one, the artifact that protects O.T. heroes from DC on EH?
Pergamum - To stop Dragon Raid, since you don't use it.
I AM Salvation - The thing stopping you from getting rescues against me wwas me having Lost Souls you couldn't get. EDIT: It will also stop those pesky Rock of Ages Lost Souls that tear you apart. haha


Or, you could leave it alone considering you beat me twice, basically.
