Right now the offense is one less card than the defense. Point of the deck is to drop your characters down and have 0 cards in your hand for Zebulun. Once you get out Zebulun do not put down Captain and discard Numerous as the Stars and keep using Jacob/RTC till you have no cards in hand. Game takes about 10 turns unless they get a good hand. Usually they never see it coming either. Let me know what needs to go in or come out.

I think if the idea is to get everything down right off the bat for Zeb, you'd be better served using less duplicate characters, but thats just me.

If anything I would do Zebulun x3 but that is the least i would do because first turn I would like to have a Zebulun and 1-2 cards in my hand.

How about Angel at Shur to search for Zebby or whoever.

Then Zebby's ability would not work.

Too one-dimensional for my liking. Golden Calf shuts down your offense entirely. The Anti-ignore LS shuts down most of your offense.

That being said, a couple ideas I would consider...

Bronze Laver could help by letting you place duplicate ECs on bottom of deck so you can draw non-duplicates or other cards that can be put down. I am Holy gives you a way to dump duplicate Heroes to decrease your hand before attacking. Angel at Shur is a definite add. The Tabernacle would let you have 3 artifacts active at once, which is a good counter to Captured Ark. If you have to use Captain early, then a set aside card or two would allow you to move Captain out of play for Zebulun to work.

Yeah if not x3. You could also probably drop Blue Tassels because Captured Ark would take care of opponents' Writs while not interfering with your own.

I had a deck that functioned very similar to this last year.  When it worked, it worked great (an opening Zeb won me a couple games 7-0 against seasoned T2 players) but it also had some glaring weaknesses.  The deck was 9-0-1 against 6 different people when I played it online.

Nuetral Cards 35
1   Book of the Covenant
1   Blue Tassels
1   Chariot of Fire
1   Crown of Thorns
1   Holy of Holies
1   Lampstand of the Sanctuary
2   Stone Pillar at Bethel
1   The Bronze Laver
2   Unholy Writ
2   Hormah
2   Babylonian Banquet Hall
2   Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh’s Court
4   Babylon
14   LS

Good Cards 35
1   Angel of the Lord (OT)
1   Guardian Of Your Souls
1   New Jerusalem
1   Son of God
1   I am Redemption
1   I am Salvation
1   I am Creator
1   I am Grace
1   Storehouse
1   Solomon's Temple
1   Wall of Protection
3   Jacob
1   Asher
3   Zebulun
2   Benjamin
3   Angel at Shur
2   Obedience of Noah
2   Jacob's Dream
1   Journey to Egypt
3   Reuben’s Torn Clothes
4   Primary Objective

Evil Cards 35
1   Burial
1   Christian Martyr
1   Destruction of Nehushtan
1   Falling Away
2   Captured Ark
2   Unknown Nation
2   Wastelands
1   Kingdoms of the World
3   Uzzah
1   Arioch
1   Seven Sons of Sceva
2   Sapphira
1   Red Dragon
2   King Zimri
1   Gomer
2   Nebushasban
1   King of Tyrus
1   Prince of this World
2   Seven Wicked Spirits
1   Lying Unto God
2   Destructive Decay
2   Deceit of Sapphira
1   Great Image
1   Set Fire

The PO's didn't work out nearly as well as I expected.  I think I actually cut down to 3 at one point and would probably consider taking them out all together if I were to play this again.

Do people use Golden Calf though? If I saw it I would add counters but as of now everything is so focused on O.T. that I never see it.

Yes I know I hate it.
Sad thing is I do not have even one Captured Ark. Also the main part of the offense is Zeb/Jacob ignore but I can also ignore in battle or do a Capn band. But yes it is not very versatile. It is mostly a win in the first fifteen minutes. Gabe, I like your deck and especially like the Primary Objective's but I know how those go. Better in theory then in practice. Also Justin thank you and I agree with your suggestions pretty much. I will go over what you said and implement most of the strategies you guys commented about and re post.

a destructive sin would be good to throw in to negate a Pharoah's Throne Room.

Nice try young one, but last I checked PTR wasn't a good Fort. ;)

Destructive Sin
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Orange • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Hero. While this card remains, negate special abilities on that Hero and its owner's good Fortresses and Covenants.

You got tired of eating them?  Orange Panic Demons aren't the most tastey little critters. ::)

I should have clarified. the only orange brigade cards I get nowadays are TexP, and foil is NASTY. like honestly, I felt like I was going to die... also, they look funny when burning. heat screws them up enough, but in a fire they're even more creative at bending...

on a side note, why Nero over Garrison?
