Hey, folks:

I would like to construct a FBTN deck that is worthy of taking to Nationals, but being that I only have one Nationals under my belt (as I'm from California), I'm not even really sure if this is a viable strategy. It seems like it would be to me. So I'd like, first of all, to hear feedback on whether or not this deck should be considered, and if so which brigades and cards you feel would be best in a deck like this.

Personally, I'm thinking of playing gold with Moses and Shamhuth as my MVP's, but I'm open to change if there are good reasons for it.

Care to give a reason to support your argument?

FBTN was THE dominant strategy for a long time. However, with the amount of can't be prevented and can't be negated cards today it is more difficult to do.

I think a FBTN offense should be multi-colored. It is almost as easy to do a FBN-Banding offense, you just have to decide if you want more characters or enhancements.

FBN
The Strong Angel (warriors)
Captain of the Host (warriors)
Ira (warriors)
Moses
Benaniah (warriors)
Possibly Shamhuth, Centurion at Capernaum, or John
+ Lots of 3/4 Multi-Color enhancements

FBN-Banding
The Strong Angel (kings)
Captain of the Host (kings)
Ira (kings)
Benaniah (kings)
Possibly Adino (kings)
Helez (kings)
Asahel (TexP)
Heldai
Maharai (kings)
Israelite Archer

Depends on how you want to get your numbers up.

Straight up speed won't work as well now with the hand limit but slight speed(like the set-asides + 1 or 2 drawing card cards) will probably become popular and unless all the new counters to TGT are used then TGT will once again be seen in top decks, but it is less likely now.
