First off I've never played the deck. I built this using lackey a while back but haven't had a tournament near me in a while and I don't really know how to use Lackey for playing games online so I really have just used it as a deck builder and card search engine. Here is the deck and let me know what you think.

Just some things I noticed on a quick read through.

1. The soul you think is retribution is actually called "the fool"
2. Carrying 2 copies of King Saul seems like over kill. You have nothing but scattered, grapes, and CM to back him up.  The d2 off Sam isn't worth it.
3. Your deck reflects the meta game from the time when you left game.  It has progressed a lot. Attempting to win most battles through discard on offense is risky. Solomons temple with King Judah will roll your offense.  Herod's temple could give you trouble. Assyrian Survivor, Judas and there is more.  Offenses today need several ways to win battles or a combo.
4. Chump blocks are great stalls in T2 but you'll find you quickly run out of characters and defense if you plan to block 80% with stall blocks. 
5. Your offense character selection is a bit heavy on uniques.  Unique characters cause hand clog and with as many copies as you have you will have hand clog.  (Karius Vega just posted a deck list for t2 where I believe he only had duplicates of one unique hero and only one extra copy. This tends to be a healthier direction for decks in t2. It gives you more options to attack anyways.). Not sure why you want three copies of ahimeleck with no way band him into battle as a winning aspect to the battle.
6. I am afraid Sam is going to get stuck in battle alone way more often then you would like.  Even if you have David or ahimeleck banded in your giving up serious initiative every battle.  Your offense won't last long getting pounded by your opponents enhancements.

Just my thoughts. All that said I think your wise to play really fast against with a stall defense it gives you the best chance to succeed.

The offense is set up to make great use of Battle Cry. You should find a way to fit a couple in.
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?

This was another card I've debated putting in. Primarly over the centurions proclamations. I always hesitate against massive bands. Mass removal always seems to worry me unless I can create FBTN but then I worry about that 1 scattered still. It was that and how Bravery of David requires the only hero in battle. I did prefer battle cry when it came to the bands that could avoid everything and demons as a whole. Alot of the battle winners don't effect them.

Updated original post to reflect changes. Shortened as well to eliminate ranting on my part.

Updated original post again... Im looking at possibly dropping a copy of King Saul and AUTO to make it 100 even. Im also at another LS to replace Pigs. Any other thoughts or ideas? I am very new to T2 and it typically try to build decks that are a bit out of the ordinary but still fun to play. Like I said this is my first attempt at a build.
