Jahaziel is a contingency. Really, his main purpose is to recur Meeting the Messiah via Battle Prayer. Originally, there were many more Judges in this deck, and he was also used to place SS. When I changed deck formats, I never really considered taking him out, but perhaps he and the Ravine could make way for more useful cards. I like Ehud's Dagger (especially now that Moses is a Judge) and something extra for Site access (I occasionally get locked out with no cards in opponent's hand or deck).
Laver is useful beyond belief. It's essential to this deck that I get Abom placed ASAP, and with the amount of speed elements the turnover is really high. In addition, if I have PO out, I can Laver four EC's with impunity, and once Abom is placed I can Laver the other Greek. Also, most of my Enhancements are redundant negates. Long story short, I get a LOT of use out of this Artifact.I don't like HT for this deck because it has such a high probability of being a useless card, between Hur, WatW, Feast of Trumpets, Mayhem etc. SWJ seems kind of useless unless I also add DD. Perhaps if I add Generous Leper and more roguish Gold elements, it would make more sense, but atm I don't see it doing much.
I am considering taking out SS. I don't think I've ever used it. The only think I'm balking at is that it's pretty much a win used by Moses.
Ooh, doesn't it also stop Burial Shroud? I've been frustrated a few games when I was able to Abom my way to a walkthrough, only to have BS pulled on me, during which time my opponent was able to draw defense. That's a good idea.As far as Site Access, I was thinking Land Dispute. Unlike other Site Access, it's not useless against an opponent who doesn't play Sites, and is a good failsafe against TGT and Z-Temple if my Abom isn't able to get rid of them.I'd also like to find a way to fit Torment in, along with Worship of Milcom. 12/12 Amon recurring Foolish Advice is yum. What do you think of that idea?
Here is the revised version. I still want Gates of Jerusalem, but I can't figure out what to remove for it.
What do you do when all of your Philistines are converted via Holy Grail and Meeting the Messiah?Kirk
@Bryon, I would love to have Martha in here as well, but I can't think of any card she would be more useful than. Perhaps if I end up taking out Flee (I rarely use it, for some reason) and Three Nails (unlikely), I could fit her in with Gates, but perhaps you see another card I could take out?
Oh I realize that or play Christian Martyr on your converted character. It just isn't opportune.
the woman at the well, or even generous widow. martha will accomplish the exact same thing as generous widow since abom will only activate once off her, and you dont have to ditch cards in the process. it seems every card plays a significant role towards the deck, so choosing 2 cards to dis could be detrimental.
