The Unstoppable Band? (Rotation offense)

(1/1)

Mr.Hiatus:
I posted this on discord and messaged a few people as well for confirmation to make sure this is as good as I think it is.
Here is the rough draft of the offense and then I will do the breakdown.

Heroes
Moses, Friend of God
Jeremiah, Hope Bringer
Aaron, God's Mediator
Phinehas, Son of Eleazar
Jehoshaphat, the Seeker
The Destroyer
David, Outcasts' Refuge
Joshua, the Conqueror
The Angel of the Winds
Mighty Men
Zechariah, the Renewer
Jonah

Enhancements
Plague of Blood
Room for another card  :-X 
Room for another card   :o 
Death of Firstborn
'I AM' Has Sent Me
The Emmaus Road
The First Sacrifice
Out of Egypt
Numerous as the Stars

Support:
Covenant with Moses
Moses' Staff
Delivered
Urim and Thummim
Manna
Endless Treasures

Reserve:
Haggai
Plague of Boils
Plague of Flies
Plague of Lice
Plague of Darkness
Golden Calf

I left room in the Reserve and also left out the defense and neutral cards. I do like to stir creativity, I don't mind, but I would rather people ask questions and try out defenses and other neutral cards on their own instead of having a copy and paste, but I don't mind people asking for a defense to pair this with for a simple copy and paste into Lackey to start playing. I just like conversation in general.

As for the offense. If you haven't seen on discord, I threw this band out there to ask if anyone A) knows about it, and B) have tested it with any luck? Also, there is a T2 version of this as well with Malachi/The Exodus to set up every other turn The Exodus CBN discard all evil cards in battle, or at least have it readily available. I think it tries to do too much, but it's cool. Anyway, back to the point of this thread, the main band in this deck is: Moses - Aaron - Phinehas - Jehoshaphat - The Destroyer. If you have Moses' Staff on Moses you snag a plague from deck or Reserve, get to play a plague when blocked off the Destroyer, they gain regardless of protection due to Moses' Staff, and gain CBN due to Moses. The other heroes are for other strong bands that work really well. The plagues, at least the ones I listed the names of, do not have to be played on an Exodus hero. Also, there is a heavy mill factor with Jonah and two underrated plagues that snag enhancements from the opponent.

You could easily play this with a small Egyptian defense due to Pharaoh having CBN Evicted, Scattered, wait that doesn't sound right, Abandonment (sorry), No Straw!, and other strong evil enhancements, and they have faster setup cards that work perfect for this offense. I know I said I wouldn't, but I might just throw the whole deck out there on T1 decks, who knows.

The offense has normal bands that people are used to, but factoring in the resource control, the fast setup, Numerous as the Stars to get back heroes as well, overall versatility, and the ability to have a CBN, play first, regardless of protect band with numerous versatile battle winners, one of which is a 12/12 board wipe out, this deck can do a lot. Make sure to target Storehouse and similar cards, because you will want the mill plagues to work.  :-X ;)

I hope you all enjoyed this post, this offense should see play and I know it is a blast. Let me know if the band is not consistent enough, or since people know about it, they target it.

I posted this on the Discord and figured I would post it here as well...

Yeah I discovered a variation of this band. Jayden and I ran it in a teams game against John E and Justin A on his channel and we won that game. You can check out that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4f9h8t71l0. The version I found is Moses to Miriam to Naomi to Nahshon the Blacksmith to The Destroyer. 5 hero band as well. We set it up with Numerous as the Stars as well. It worked well in teams because we could communicate about which heroes we had so we grabbed the ones the other did not have.

I think Moses to Aaron to Phinehas to Jehoshaphat to Destroyer has the advantage of being able to add Jeremiah or Zechariah to the end of the band. Or through adding Zadok/Mighty men to the band and add in stuff like Elijah or Noah.

The advantage of the route I found with the Miriam/Naomi/Nahshon route to the Destroyer is artifact manipulation with Nahshon and the incredible consistency suite of Love Righteousness/Fifth Seal to Emmaus to Numerous as the Stars. It sets up faster being able to use the white consistency pieces. Check out the Redemption with Jayden video to see the difference between our build we used and Tyler’s build. Both are good in my mind and have their own individual perks. This deck build is especially good in Teams since you do not have to get all 5 heroes on your own but can tag team it with your teammate. I think this might be one of the better deck builds in the Teams meta currently.

One key thing to note is Numerous does not grab The Destroyer. Therefore you need to get him another way. We found aiming to get him turn 2 from reserve is best with Out of Egypt or Book of the Covenant to Cov w Abraham. In our build we grabbed David, HAG as part of the Numerous snag on turn 1 to grab Awesome Things since Moses to Miriam to Naomi to David is a thing and then you get the play first CBN affect all through Numerous as the Stars and do not have to wait for The Destroyer. Then turn 2 you snag The Destroyer from reserve and the fun rolls on. David, HAG can easily slot into Tyler’s band as well since Jehoshaphat can band to him so David, HAG turn 1 play is not exclusive to the band I found.

I have a 2 player build of my version that is fairing quite well in testing. I love the deck build. Quite honestly with the white consistency pieces added with the green ones I have found very few decks as consistent as it. We also can run Solomon's Dream as well. All the premium offensive consistency pieces fit into the build. I have not really found any other deck build that can run pretty much every premium offensive consistency card in one deck. I would say my version is a tad more consistent than Tyler’s due to being able to use the white consistency pieces but his might have more durability in terms of other rescues.
