New TEAMS meta?

Josh:
So as I was sorting my PoC cards last night, a thought crossed my mind.  I was looking at Chariot of Fire.  My thought was, does this card break Teams?

Here's what I foresee Teams decks looking like once PoC is live:

Deck 1
SoG
NJ

Deck 2
AotL
TSC
Chariot of Fire
Some OT human prophets on offense

That's 5 potential Redeemed Souls w/ Doms alone.  And guess what Samuel, King Saul, and King David all are...?  Yep, good OT human prophets.  So the fastest offense can easily incorporate Chariot of Fire into its race to 5 in Teams.

It's possible for a Team to win on their first turn now, before the other Team has done anything besides their Intro Prep Phases.  (Maybe this was already possible with Eternal Inheritance/Christ's Triumph, or some other long-odds-scenario where you need the perfect starting hand).  Now you want 2 Throne decks filled with cards that tutor their Doms (Golden Cherubim, Stone Pillar at Bethel, Birth Foretold, Search, Letter to the Hebrews, those RoJ cards that tutor NJ, etc).

I'm not sure raising the soul limit higher than 5 is the best solution, due to time restraints.  Plus, the big draw of Teams is the strategy you implement with your non-Doms (shared LoB/Fortresses, inter-team banding, amount of offense/defense in each deck, etc).

Depending on how Chariot plays in Teams, I'd be looking to have Dom limits in Teams decks.  Or make TSC's and Chariot's identifiers view both Teams' decks as "one deck".

Thoughts?

Ban doms in teams.

Or don't play teams. :P

Isildur:
Why not just outright bad doms?

Yes.

Bobbert:
Another option is to make the "may not be included in deck with" doms exclusive. If one player plays Second Coming their teammate can't play New Jerusalem, and vice versa. Same with SoG and Chariot. Never made much sense to me that you couldn't include them in the same deck but in a format where dominants are shared you could use both.
