I made a very similar deck to this with The Destroyer and plagues to play first CBN, Regardless of Protection plagues and be able to snag them from deck or Reserve. I love that deck, but I wanted to provide a version that did not have Moses' Staff, The Destroyer, and all the extra plagues and see if it still worked how I thought it would. I left room in the Reserve and room for a small defense. Here is the entire deck minus a defense.

(CoW AB)
Reserve:
1 Tested by Fire
1 Hur (PoC)
1 Gathered Together
1 Word of Their Testimony (CoW AB)
I just need to add a way to get to Hur, but the deck overall needs better Reserve access. The deck is centered around flexible bands while looking at opponent's hand and taking out specific cards that stop the bands. Urim and Thummim and The First Sacrifice to look at their hand to know who to end the massive chain with is pretty much the point of the dec. Use Elisha when you don't see a Scattered like card in their hand, or if you see a Three Woes/CotK you use Cherubim or Elisha, depending on your hand. Tested by Fire, Two Bears, "I AM" Has Sent Me and Death of Firstborn off an Elisha to make CBN green Enhancements is extremely strong. Jehoshaphat to bounce Noah as needed is always good and offers an additional link in the chain to go with Mighty Men and Zadok to set up long, intricate, flexible bands that also come out near first turn due to multiple banders. Moses provides CBN Death of Firstborn and 'I AM' Has Sent Me which is also great on a Zechariah banding in Jeremiah. Once again, Numerous as the Stars is amazing in this deck, Moses for the mulligan is amazing, Delivered to Broken Covenant, Offering Your Son to Covenant with Moses after an early Numerous is also insane. With all the Impartial Judgement plays (which there is no way to get around when set up correctly, sorry that triggers me) you have to have multiple ways to recover in T1. Mighty Men, Endless to Broken Covenant, Offering to Cov w/ Moses all help mitigate the after-effects of IJ. This deck sets up faster than most others and is extremely efficient, flexible and offers numerous strong rescues and bands. It has the ability to take out evil Enhancements from the opponent's deck, it can shuffle/topdeck evil Dominants from their hand and then discard them, The First Sacrifice can underdeck one of their enhancements prior to a Jeremiah rescue, and you have numerous CBN/granted CBN interrupt battle winners. Look at their hand numerous ways to start the band via Cherubim and know what to play. Elijah +Angel of the Lord/Falling Away, Numerous as the Stars to the bands, speed for SoG/TSC, and you should be able to punch through the "slow and balanced" meta. Let me know what defense you paired it with!
