PS the name of this deck means Rapture in the Faith and Release of the Spirit, the Word of Christ

I really like this deck. Its very close to what I imagine what would dominate early in the season. Just a few questions

1. No Fifth seal/Justice seekers?

2. What is the purpose of NJ/Bride of Christ? and how do you get it/them out of the reserve?

1. Great recommendation! Thanks for this one!

2. Site access.. May wind up still splashing Hypocrisy Noah AnB ;) Could be replaced by Image of the Beast? Covenant of Prayer or Imitate a Gain would pretty much be the way to it. You may have a better reserve pick?

I would cut I am Creator for 5th Seal/Justice Seekers. Your likelihood of drawing 0 Heroes in opening hand is 5%...that percentage decreases to 3.6% if you count Justice Seekers as a "last resort" Hero (i.e. the only Hero you draw in opening hand).

Also, no John for Polycarp to grab? John Revelator is a pretty clutch Hero being able to look at hand and negate LS and ECs.

This, and after cutting IaC for Justice Seekers, figure what your worst Hero is and cut it to put IaC back in ;)

Well there's that... ::)

I would consider moving Moses to Reserve. I like having a Hero in Reserve so that in the rare event I don't draw a Hero opening hand, but I do draw Covenant of Prayer, I still have an option.

You got ends for site access. If you decide to put fifth seal in here, I would consider a good GE/DAE/Covenant for you to grab with fifth seal instead of NJ/Bride

Made a couple of minor tweaks based on feedback. This deck is performing better than expected, especially without Noah/ANB

MVP:
Brown Crimson Outsiders to Gideon's Ephod is incredible. 10/10 splash this in your deck.

One general question: Why is an enhancement like Consider the Lilies chosen instead of a particular e.g. battle winning enhancement (besides the chance to maybe use Consider the Lilies more than once)?
