I am holy and balaam...

These two types of offense I have never heard of till a couple of weeks ago. I know balaam is good competively if made correctly but is I am holy an where near compedetive. I would like some help to start out and get Idea's going....

For I am holy i was thinking incorperating a CANT STOP JACOB offense with ET, Gabriel, and the angel who searches deck or discard pile for a healing enhancement. The card covenant keepers searches for book of the Covenant, I am healing and I am holy (does it search for covenant with death???) Combo with all three of those activated. Discard two characters in hand with I am holy. Heal both with i am healing. Jacob to the angel who searches deck or discard pile for a healing enhancement and you got the combo back :).

Problems with this
1. DEATHLY SLOOOOOOW
2. Naz geting rid of my search draw pile.
3. once I am holy is gone can't get it back.
4. Offense not powerful enough without I am holy.
5. Don't have enough cards to discard and then get back.

Now to the next part Balaam.
Not sure what to but with him....
Ik to but CoMind and CoD and Balaam's disobedience and maybe torment
but what else????

Thanks

The best offense to combo with I am Holy is assuredly Isaiah. He can instantly recur whatever card you discarded with I am Holy, CBN-style, and there are plenty of useful Isaiah cards to discard. ET is good too, but he is negatable, and you have to play with a no-SA enhancement like Philosophy, which is sometimes good, but not always.

With the recent ruling that Covenants and Curses are now Artifacts AND Enhancements while in hand or deck, Covenant Keepers could search for CWD.

Balaam is awesome. Not only is he a member of one of the best defensive themes in the game there is (Magicians) but he has an awesome ability. Manasseh+Balaam is a soft FBTNB chain that can hold off a lot of attacks. Also, his recursion of RBD, CoM, or CwD can be really helpful due to their high toughness and good abilities.

I like your ideas. One hiccup is that you cannot heal characters that are discarded from your hand via I am Holy (or discarded via any other card from hand or deck).
