I bet this is a grey Moabite defense with a new Balaam.

Dual-Alignment - Solomon

Defense - One of those is most likely Balak given the gray with nothing to play on. Some form of reserve accessing Magician is probably in the works.

New dominant

OT Synergy souls

I would argue that the utility card could pull good kings out of reserve, or hypothetical Solomon could do it.

Just my potential observations based on awareness of deck building strategy.

Looks like that Dominant will be evil based on how he ordered the rest of them.

Is the new dominant a card that cause a side battle? If so that would be cool..  I think someone on the forums made such a thing before..

I can't say what this hypothetical, non-confirmed dominant may or may not do, but I can tell you this: it is pretty cool.

I’m pretty sure the only Dominant that isn’t cool is Doubt lol

Actually, I'd argue that doubt is one of the coolest doms, in concept any ways. In practice, it just stinks  ::)

I doubt we’re reprinting it this year.

That deck is overhyped. It’s probably not very good. I see way too many ch [Edited by R.O.S.E.S.]. ::)

Is there a functional difference between King Mesha's wording and Lot's Daughter's ? Does King Mesha's give relinquish ownership while Lot's Daughter's does not? Note: lot's daughter's gives to opponents territory while King Mesha just gives.

Good catch Nathan, there is a functional difference in that the default for give is hand, so Daughters overrides that while Mesha does not. However, we realized that we don't want Magician's Snakes to reset if given by Mesha, so I'm fairly certain he will have the same wording as Daughters, we just haven't had a chance to update the graphic yet

Just to make sure, Moabite Marauders would let you take an enhancement you played in that battle after battle?  Their ability would activate before battle resolution where enhancements are discarded, correct?

Also, other than the crimson guy that lets you exchange LS"s, is there any way to give an opponent a NT LS?  All the unity OT souls cards make me want to be tricky and give them something they cant easily get rid of...
