I have only been able to attend one tournament this year, the NY State Tournament so I feel out of the loop.
Now that people have had a little more time with the ROJ set what kinds of decks have been performing well in some of the larger tournaments?
Obviously not asking anyone to post their decklist or anything, just wondering what has been successful.

NT White seems to have won everything in the major regions.

From what I have seen and read, Revelation angels/martyrs are a top offense. The Woman with Child, Michael to The Strong Angel, "He Is Risen!", Consider the Lillies, Fifth Seal, Angelic Guidance, Overcome!, Blood of the Lamb with Angel from the Sun to pull off Justin Martyr quickly and always have Blood of the Lamb/Overcome for a draw 5 and negate/discard every turn. It's very fast, and has the best, and most consistent access to the reserve. Then TSA can play first and toss CBN enhs. Overall I think Martyrs/Revelation angels are the top deck right now. I also like to add Entertaining Angels and Resurrection of Angels to band in all silver guys twice. Throne decks are still fast but Outsiders is really good in any deck practically, and orange banding also puts a damper on Throne, let alone 3 Woes. I didn't see BoM taking a big hits so that's still very viable. I'm still waiting for a solid T1 player to make the latest version of BoM that possibly incorporates Angel from the Sun and some Martyrs. I challenged Jay on it but maybe that deck isn't viable. Mono silver is fast and being played but I think the synergy with Martyrs is too good. A fast, efficient Martyr/revelation deck, or straight white, seems to be the top deck right now and I suspect the best version with best access to the reserve will win Type 1. Type 2 seems a bit open right now and I haven't heard, other than the t2 only, of what decks are running.

Hey,
Thanks for the good info here, it is difficult to keep up with everything without being able to get to tournaments.

I know that feeling. Since I started to play games regularly with a friend of mine in town, my game got a lot better. I used to only play a few games every few months when I would drive 2 hours to a tournament.

Creating a t1 blend of martyrs and BOM is exactly what I did.
Here is the offensive list I've been running. It won the creation open and has been on a roll.
Heroes - 10
Angel from the Sun
AutO
Samuel (RoA)
David the Psalmist
The Woman with Child
Justin Martyr
Polycarp
Moses (CoW)
Peter (TEC)
Barnabas
GE's - 6
WotT
F of Sam
F of Moses
F of Moses' Parents
Overcome!
Elymas Struck Blind
Sites - 1
The Ends of the Earth
Arts - 3
YWR
4DC
Cov of Prayer
Reserve Offensive Cards - 3
John, the Rev
A Child is Born
Blood of the Lamb
That's a 20 card offense leaving you 15 spaces for the defense of your choosing and 7 defensive/neutral slots for reserve. Also you can argue Covenant of Prayer is defensive anyways.

Wow, thanks for sharing, I wasn't trying to pull out a decklist, but thanks a lot!
Is 4dc four drachma coin?
I really like this BOM martyr mix, really cool.

4DC is four-drachma coin
The trick is pulling polycarp before Moses hits but hey if it doesn't it's still strong.

Would a crimson/pale green defense work with this?
-
Honestly any defense that fits into 15 cards works with this. Speed on defense is definitely a plus but not a must.
-
Why not have Blood of the Lamb in your deck for the potential opening draw? Martyr would still search it out.

Isn't Word of Christ just strictly better than Faith of Moses?

Yes but the lack of musicians made me switch it out. The artifact targeting is strong as well.

If I am going to draw an enhancement I want it to win the battle. I get the potential d3 is strong but every good enhancement interrupts or negates already drawing an extra negate possible d3 doesn't seem necessary.

Hmmm, that sounds familiar. I get about a week of prep, realize what cards I am missing, and make a reasonable showing at the tourney. I need to put in some time on Lackey.

This deck (http://www.cactusforums.com/complete-decks/iowa-states-t1-2p-2nd-place-'revelation-music'/) is winning everything... ::)
