This deck, although I haven't played another person yet, shut down easily my massive offense/speed deck. So don't doubt the defense.  ;)

Here's the doms it shuts down:

sog/nj = Altar of Ahaz
cm = covenant with Phineus
falling away/burial/destruction = lampstand
angel of the lord = not a whole lot you can do. But I do have several banding chains, recursion of HPP and also Judas.
Harvest time = Would Jerusalem Tower stop this? Cause dominants can't be prevented...  :scratch:

The offense just waits until the end of the game and then attacks with invinsible guys. And I have a few nice enhancements to go with them.

EDIT: Added some cards and changed some things. Also, I forgot to add in my favorite combo!  8)

You can have either thirty pieces of silver or unholy writ along with any other art AND lampstand to protect them all! It's nice and hard to get past.

Comments? Critiques? They're all welcome!  ;D

Updated. Took out a few doms I never get to use and put in lying unto God and desecrate the temple (RR's suggestion via PM)

I know... I SO wanted to put two thousand horses on twelve fingered giant... but it just doesn't allow for it... oh well.

Anyone else? Critique? Please, rip it to shreds!

Yeah... then you have forgotten history and wonders forgotten. Without giving them initative. It's would have been very nice.
