Called Forth V. 1.1.1 (Prophets/Babylonians)

So, this is a deck I've been playtesting against mostly Priests/Pharisees, which seems to get great draws every time we play. So while it does well, I'm not willing to call it great or horrible yet based on those alone.

As a side note, I'm still looking for a Mayhem, Simon the Magician, Disagreement over Mark and Hypocrisy at the moment, all of which will be going in here when I get them.

I'm a firm believer that every deck with Faith of Samuel should have Paul in it.

Personally, I would take out DiA and put in Scattered. It's just a better card imo. Of course, it won't work with Simon, so that's up to you I guess. I also might consider swapping CSA for Belshazzar, so you can get some extra mileage out of his banquet. Besides, you already have 3 interrupts, which I plenty imo. I also second putting paul in. you already have seraph too! Seems like a solid add, along with hur, as you are already running Phillip's daughters, Gifts, and will be running Hypocrisy. Obadiah's caves might be something to consider taking out. In my experience, it's just not good enough to warrant a slot. Razor or seige works are also good adds, but probably just one of them, as you already have Isaiah, one Assyrian, and (once you get simon) 3 other pale green guys to play it off of! the only other thing i could think of is swapping the DoN for a mayhem.

Patch 1.1 notes: Running with a lot of the recommendations below, I've added Paul, Hur, Siegeworks, and King Belshazzar, and moved Caves to reserve. I don't want to remove it entirely because I feel like Pharisee/Grey is going to be strong this year (And it's the defense I play against the most). The deck, as it stands, is up to fifty-three cards, and while I feel like I maybe should trim it down, I don't know what to cut.

I feel like the deck needs a way to fit in a Signet Ring, and a way to keep up in the faster meta. The idea of Sam/Auto/Dave crossed my mind, but that's splashing too far into judges to be feasible. Most of the speed is based on Gifts, and if you can't draw that, you tend to be out of luck. I either need to find more defensive drawing or a way to search out Gifts, Hur, and Philip's Daughters. Also, I need to figure out which three cards to cut.

Edit: Patch Notes 1.1.1: Seraph with A Live Coal and Siegeworks have been cut. SwaLC because he's only good with Isaiah, and I don't have the defensive cards to be discarding them to grab Call or Coal when I get him. Siegeworks because I have enough enhancements and honestly, it feels like the weakest link of them.

Both Simon the Magician and King Merodach-Baladan seem like they could be really good here.
With that many babylonians I think head of gold should be considered.

Everyone forgets KMB but personally I believe he is a top 3 Babylonian EC. Neb and Bel are probably better then it's close with Nerg. The CBN is awesome when you get it but KMB gets his spy and play first without other babs needed.

Hypocrisy and Mayhem should be in every deck that has at least 2 Crimson characters.

I've looked at Merodach-Baladan before, but Nerg always seemed better. May try playing around with it, though.

I kinda figured with how much protection from capture there is in the game, Head of Gold ended up as a dead card half the time.

Mayhem's on the list of needed cards. I just forgot to edit that in.

We're having an unofficial local at the Lakeville church this coming Saturday. If you can make it, I have all of those available for trade. I'm not sure what I would need for a Mayhem, but maybe we could work out a part trade/part cash deal.  8)

I will try my best to be there, then. As far as I know, we'll be able to make it.
