Overhauling my priest offense...going with Tabernacle theme

Well you could do any of the following teal priest themes:

Solomon's temple

Tabernacle priests

Zerubabbels Temple priests



Other card suggestions would be:


Altar of Incense

Burning Incense (CBN ignore with Altar of Incense active)

Urim and Thummim

Trumpet Blast

Zechariah (negates N.T enhancements )



Just my intake on this.

If you plan on using Eleazar son of Aaron, you will need some Tabernacle priests to trigger his ability.  I recommend Phinehas son of Eleazar and Eli the Priest at a minimum.

Amariah and Joshua the High Priest are both House of Eleazar Priests.  They get CBI and CBN GEs, respectively.  Using them would probably let you cut His Name Is John.

You could also add AUTO, Moses, and Eli's Sound Advice for the Tabernacle Priests/Judges synergy.

Any deck that uses Eleazar and Aaron's Staff should try and fit in I Am Holy, in my opinion.  Not only can you get cost-free uses out of IaH via Eleazar's recursion, but having both IaH and Aaron's Staff up and running at the same time can completely lock your opponent out from ever having the defense in hand needed to block.  Also, IaH goes great with Moses to stop the CBP LS.

Just some thoughts.

I have been wanting to use Moses, just didn't want to make a bom deck...that would be awesome to put him in here. Thanks for the suggestions!!  Just thought though, Moses negates everything pretty much except cloud stuff...how could I keep him from shutting my ROJ priest cards down, yet still use him?

You can use the Warriors Moses--he's just a regular "fight by numbers" Hero.

Just... 

That also opens running Eli's Sound Advice as an option.

That's what I'm planning to do in the Tabernacle deck I'm building. Don't want CoW Moses because he blocks my feasts, but I want him in there because Aaron+Moses has been good for as long as it's existed.

Good to note, thanks!!

No no...he was making fun of the fact that I said "Just a FBTN Hero" when that version of Moses is probably one of the all-time leaders in winning Lost Souls over the years. 

In a deck with Four Living Creatures and Melchizedek, you definitely want to use the version of Moses that does not negate territory class Heroes. 

So similar to TLGs deck builder?
Aaron's Staff (Cloud of Witnesses)
Eternal Covenant (Cloud of Witnesses)
Melchizedek (Cloud of Witnesses)
Dutiful Priest (Cloud of Witnesses)
Gifts and Offerings (Cloud of Witnesses)
Ezra's Journey (Disciples)
Ark of the Covenant (Kings)
Eleazar, son of Aaron (Persecuted Church)
The Silver Trumpets (Priests)
The Tabernacle (Priests)
Ahimaaz (Priests)
Joshua the High Priest (Priests)
Phinehas, son of Eleazar (Priests)
Burning Incense (Priests)
Jehoiada's Strength (Priests)
Jordan Interrupted (Priests)
Scapegoat (Priests)
Zeal for the Lord (Priests)
Zechariah (Rock Of Ages)
Temple Priests (Rock Of Ages)

Yes, browsed through the artifacts from the priest set.  Several good choices...

If you use Solomons Temple (ST) make sure you use mostly ST priests. And use ST from RoA set.

The Solomons temple from earlier allows for double artifact?

They both hold a temple artifact but the RoA version does more while the Patriarchs version only holds the artifact.

Okay I will overhall this to a Tabernacle and then a Solomon's Temple offense to see which one I like best.  I am really wanting to utilize the ROJ priest cards, though I know they are more ROJ specific, but they allow for drawing the others.  Also, does the "Ark of the Covenant" ROJ version, work in the tabernacle and Solomon's Temple?  The reason I ask, is that "The Four Living Creatures" allows to draw 1, if a Heavenly Temple or Heavenly temple artifact is in play. 
If the Ark of the Covenant (ROJ edition) is included in all three (Tabernacle, Solomon's, and Heavenly) then I could have it activated in Solomon's temple and still utilize "The Four Living Creatures" draw 1 ability.  Am I correct in this?

yep!

Thanks!  Also, just realized Ezekiel is a "priest", ssssooo...okay this could get interesting in what I want to do with this...   And when I get my  hands on the newer 2015 Glory of the Lord, and the new Nats Tabernacle....oh the joy!!!!

Also, what is a good defense that works with the Teal priest offense?

I kinda like demons, although the main synergy is Bronze Laver + Gates of Hell - a temple artifact that lets you underdeck evil cards and draw the same number, and a fort today grabs demons from the bottom of deck. It basically gives free draws, and a temple means you still have an artifact slot.

Woe!! I never thought of that!  Also, just wanted to make sure I am understanding Solomon's temple properly...it can hold one active Temple artifact, and I can still have another artifact active in my pile?  Or am I missing something?  Sorry if this is old news to people, to me this is really what I love about this game...its so many intricacies and ways of possibly playing even just a single bridge like Teal..

Awesome, thanks!

Updated the initial offense list.
