Anyone?  Would this work OK?

Here's the theory behind it.  Hand management is not a problem because there are so few enhancements, so I'm able to keep key characters in hand.  The deck accomplishes banding (multiple targets to eliminate) + large FBTN battles at the same time, getting past annoying stops like KOT, Uzzah, and of course evil enhancements.  Obviously it is vulnerable to some CBN evil stuff, but with 13 heroes and brass serpent promo I should be able to get by eventually.  Even if Household Idols is up (and I can't remove/shuffle it yet), some of these FBTN guys do fine on their own anyway.

The defense is mostly demons, which is of course risky, but I have plenty of artifact removal, and I plan to band to their own evil characters by negating their Wall of Protection (Destructive Sin and Image of Jealousy).  If they kill their own ECs then it helps my offense anyway. 

I am Salvation is in there for 3 reasons - All my heroes are male, and all but two are OT.  And I also need to be able to deal with the "More than 3 brigades" LS and the "Cannot be prevented unless a covenant" LS.

Unknown Nation is to respond to an AOL or Grapes, and to search for a key human EC like Sapphira, Seven Sons, Gomer, etc.

Darius' Decree is basically to slow down SPEED.

Your thoughts?

Simon the Magician + Wrath of Satan, 12FG would stop this...also the 3 brigade ls would too. I think you have 5 in there...I could kill this offense so easily with my current deck. All you need is a couple cbn cards and it fizzles. But This is a deck that I would have to try and see how it plays to judge it...Trying not to sound mean here...

Yes, black would give this deck troubles.  Holding Martyr and Grapes, I would be on the lookout for Simon and 12FG.  But doesn't Simon only work if my Simeon or Strong Angel are in battle?  Also most people up here don't play black (black is in one of my "casual decks" though).  The LS you mention is also not very popular up here in VA, and would be a target of my SOG, NJ or Burial.  I am Salvation is also a help in this case, although I will admit, a weak one.

Anyway, right now I'm removing 6 top tier cards to bring it on par with my 11 other "casual" decks, and I'll be interested to see how it does in casual play against my others.

Modified deck to my 50 card "casual" version I will be trying this weekend.  We'll see how it goes.
