This is just the offense and the concept, not the entire deck and not a refined version. My original build was an ET in reserve, Great Faith in deck and Reach of Desperation x2-3 in main deck. The issue was I didn’t have enough meek heroes out quick enough. I switched it up a bit to get out heroes more efficiently. I still want to add a Melchizedek and Nehemiah, but no room in this current version. I want a Royal Parade and another Counsel of Abigail, but you lose those enhancements when you play IJ and Appointing Judges, Z Plumb, that kind of stuff.
The concept is to get out meek heroes, rescue with a Throne band/ET and play Impartial Judgment. Bathsheba/King Lemuel goes right back to Impartial from discard and plays it off of Throne. I hinted at this offense during a video with Jayden, as I am sure plenty of you have seen and had the pleasure of going up against the Post-exilic IJ offense, it’s nasty. IJ is a game changer and is very difficult to effectively recover from when you have 5 or more meek heroes out. Valley of Salt off ET/Throne is huge for after an IJ. Valley off ET is massive in general. Valley of Salt, then next turn bounce their human with Book of the Law, then rescue with a meek is also a sneaky good play. I think this IJ build is very good and gives the ability to set up quick, has an Isaiah band, has Throne, has tons of negates, ET abuse (forgotten but still amazing), and gets to Isaiah/Jonah and then Numerous allows for a very fast setup and a fun deck to play.

I use a brown meek defense with this as well. Other defenses can be used, if another defense is used, then swap out some of the brown/purple neutrals.
