Needs some work but very doable. I'm too tired to do a full breakdown right now, but I'll try to remember to come back at some point.

You will need to figure out how to get around Nazareth for the searches and the plague of frogs.

Besides adding a couple of set fires, how can I get around them with the offense/defense that I have (unlike the other decks, I won't be able to change as much since this is T2 and I don't have enough now to spend like crazy on getting the cards I need).

I wouldn't worry too much about Nazareth. Plague of Frogs will be used primarily for the EC in battle and you only have 2 Searchs anyway so if they draw Naz...oh well. Naz does limit your Two Bears but again, you can still shuffle blocking ECs.

I would break down your GE like this:
   Plague of Frogs
   Plague of Frogs
   Plague of Frogs
   Plague of Frogs
   Provisions
   Provisions
   Provisions
   Provisions
   Search
   Search
   Two Bears
   Two Bears
   Two Bears
   Two Bears
   Swords to Plowshares
   Swords to Plowshares
   Visions
   Visions

This way, your main focus is on the true "battle winners" and you have less emphasis on the support cards (which are more "situational battle winners").

I would also drop T-Blast, Zechariah and Obadiah and add in Benaiah x2. Benaiah/Provisions is a very strong combo in T2.

I was going to build this exact deck recently but decided i liked TGT/AOCP/BAB/HERETIC better

I like it a lot though!!
The Guardian offers good advise, although i'd prefer seeing one more search in there

Updated my deck and reduced it to 119.  This is my last deck I'm editing before I post my market wish list (finally :p).

Whatcha think?
