The new David's and Throne of David allows for a lot of creativity for David. I absolutely love the two new David's and think both can be focal points for offenses. Since I already posted a royalty/meek offense with David heavily involved, I will jot down some notes for the new David, Heart After God.

The two main parts of this offense are:

David, Heart After God- * Play a Hero as meek from Reserve. You may convert this card to meek to take a good OT card from deck. May band to a meek hero. CBP.
and
Royal Parade- (Involves Music) Interrupt the battle. Bounce all evil characters in battle. If used by a meek hero you may draw 1 and this card cannot be prevented.

These two cards are amazing. I have spoken about Royal Parade and how I think this card can be involved in numerous offenses, not just the teal, white, purple, but because of meek heroes and so many dual colors, it can be used in a plethora of decks. Yeah that's right, I said plethora. What I find ironic is how David, Heart After God has 431 views on Imgur (I get it, it's David, it's an UR) but Royal Parade only has 12, and I'm probably 6 of them...

David can snag a meek hero from reserve, convert himself and take this card from deck, or Bravery of David, or any others for that matter, dominants, covenants, any good O.T. card, he definitely deserves the ultra rarity. As per my previous post (royalty/meek), you want to use Books of the Law to reset him so you can use his ability numerous times.

Because this deck focuses on David, Heart After God and Royal Parade, you want to exploit this card as much as possible. You can essentially get this card over and over again and play an interrupt the battle potentially cannot be negated battle winner against every character in the game. I will do more of a breakdown later as I am currently at an airport but I want to at least say the deck concept.

I plan to use red/white meek, musicians and Ruth heroes. I don't have time to give everything for the Ruth sub-theme, but it seems easy enough to have in this deck. The main concept of the deck is to abuse Royal Parade. It can come out extremely quick with David and you can easily recur it with Ethan and make it CbN with Asaph. Heman bands to them both so you can recur an interrupt, bounce all EC's battle winners and have it be CbN. Having that kind of power right from the discard over and over again is not fun. You can easily shut down abilities with, don't quote me on this, but I believe it was Obed and Jesse as TC. A meek hero in battle with Windows of Narrow Light out also stops everything and Royal Parade is CbP on a meek hero. 24 Elders is also a great way to make this nearly unstoppable. Chenaniah to Heman, Chenaniah to 24 Elders, or Chenaniah to David (as meek) is another very strong play. Of course would run Music Leader in this deck too to get out David, Royal Parade, your heroes, covenants for 24 Elders, whatever else you need.

You really want to get out David, pop out a meek hero as well to get that 3+ meek heroes out, and start rolling with David and bouncing him back. Chenaniah can also band to David to protect him and David can convert and grab or David can band to a meek.

Root of Jesse is a good one. I would love to play Mary/Joseph in this build as well, but I will dissect that part later. I would also play Temple Dedication and The Tabernacle to have great reserve access. That's it for now, I have to board the plane, maybe I can add more tonight.

Temple Dedication
Royal Parade
Love Righteousness x2
Overcome x2
Faith of Moses? Faith of Moses Parents?
Joy x1-2 ?

ACiB (reserve?)
Cymbals of the Levites
Hate Wickedness
The Lord Fights for You

Really the enhs don't matter it's more so ways to play Royal Parade.
Love Righteousness to your band/David/Mordecai/Daniel/24 Elders to have a hard to stop Royal Parade
Daniel/Heman band/Ethan to get it back/Asaph for CBN/24 Elders/Mordecai (CBN OT enhs) then play Royal Parade

Even Chenaniah to a musician is hard to stop with Royal Parade and Esther alone. Temple Dedication for The Tabernacle/Proptection

Music Leader/Tabernacle gives you great reserve access and recurring

Music Leader gives you what you need, The Tabernacle also helps, David can be bounced to get back what you need, TWwC for doms, Fearless Traveler helps a lot in this deck too to get what you need

Hey CtheTree, great catch. I modified it, I meant Daniel cloud icon as is LR, not CoW. Thank you for pointing that out, you stumped me for a second!
