Here is a deck idea I am playing around with currently. I call it Chuck Norris.
The goal of the deck is to toss everything with The Cross, Coliseum, Herod's Temple, and the couple toss characters. The OT Lost Soul package is sort of a hold over from an idea that I had which morphed into this deck but I still like it for what it is. The Site/City/Fort/Art package is designed to help pluck characters for set up and pull cards from Reserve and it allows for multiple artifacts to be active simultaneously if desired.
The offense is built to generate speed with the disciples, converting them to meek in the process. Temple Veil is an every turn use to know what you're going against and I love that you can deactivate it. Can't activate something else like Urim and Thummim but that's probably for the best. Gabriel is there to help play Numerous as well as to start a cbn band which is then protected from cbn cards via Cross/Coliseum as well as non cbn cards via Windows. I think my favorite play though using Joseph to fetch another hero to beef them up into a Herod's Temple+Windows toss/negate everything. I'm running with LoC Mary for added protection of my meeks as well.
The defense is mostly just GoC Herods but I did toss in a couple Emperors since they can use half my enhancements or just stand in the way. I am intending to utilize Herod's Temple tossing on most blocks unless I'm fishing to play Dance of Death.
I do not have Second Coming or Three Woes so that's why they aren't there. I have considered using The Resurrection instead of Rubble and Dust but I am not sure if that would be better or not. I also have considered going anti-dominant and subbing out some of the dominants to beef up the offense but I am not confident a dom lock will be effective.
Comments and suggestions please!
