Main focus is to operate with Fortress of Antonia. Use guidance to help pull out the site, running the NT angels for the weapon class pull out, herod's are aided by this pull out, soul control with the sites. I am looking for thoughts on potential weaknesses or options to maybe get David in at 50.
1. CWD can give me trouble and I am considering Captured ark and DoN. Fixed this issue.
2. Is david necessary in this deck?
3. Ive also thought about dropping a soul for pigs ls and then dropping swift horses as well. However I find if you drop swift horses with Herods then really Failed Objective and Wonders forgotten struggle to hit.
Dropped failed Objective for Angel of warning right call?
-
He's not WC but you may want to consider Angel of Warning for faster grab of FoA.

Dropped Failed Objective for Angel of Warning does seem like the right play?
-
Probably...Failed Objective is tough to play successfully on the big Herods.
I'm not sure your offense gets through a balanced deck with a solid defense to be honest. I don't think I've ever tried running more than one Site in a 50/51 deck, so it's tough for me to say.
-
I agree the offense getting through is questionable, this is why Gabriel is there and I am carrying ways to deal with CWD and or CoM. Perhaps watchful servant belongs for end game? Or finding a place for A Soldier's Prayer?
-
I wonder if King's Pomp would help stall with your Sites.
-
I had it in but am not convinced it's worth the slot. Debatable though.
-
I feel like Lurking/Goliath would be a sneaky play. Goliath goes well with your sites to kick back the guy with site access and Lurking gets him into battle to trigger Herod Agrippa II. Just a thought.

Hey I was building a deck like this of my own and remembered seeing your post Josiah!
I decided I would just upload this version onto Lackey and then tweak it into my own playstyle. I've been over the list a couple times and I'm getting 48 cards every time. I slapped A Soldier's Prayer and Beheaded in for the time being. Just curious if you've gotten to test this deck out yourself yet?
-
Angelic Visiter would be nice with the centurions.
-
I have decent success with it. It's like 7-3 for me in the games I've played. It can be better though. Sentries and Centurian proclamation seems like the wrong play. David's triumph is a little more
Limited but it might be better for this deck.
Honestly I think dropping the red and going straight silver might be better.
