This is a deck idea that I came up with today. The main idea is to get joy on Rhoda for cbn protection (N.T. Discard and Capture)  for Stephen, Paul, and other Jerusalem heroes. The defense tries to abuse Namaan as much as possible with all the new Ruth gray battle winners. Let me know what you think and what you would change!

Deck: 50

Heroes:
1   Hope
1   Rhoda (EC)
1   Stephen (EC)
1   Peter (EC)

1   Peter's Sermon
1   Fifth Seal, Justice Seekers (RoJ)
1   Blood of the Lamb
1   Elymas Struck Blind
1   Preaching in the Synagogue
1   Speak with Power

Arts/Covs:
1   The Great White Throne (RoJ)
1   You Will Remain
1   Covenant of Prayer (RoJ)
1   I am Creator
1   Holy Grail (PC)

Forts/Sites:
1   Coliseum
1   Damascus (EC)

EC's:
1   Naaman
1   The Sanhedrin
1   Sabbath Breaker
1   Syrian Mercenaries
1   Soldiers of Zobah
1   The Deceiver (RoJ)
1   The False Prophet (Pr)
1   Proud Pharisee

EE's:
1   Namaan's Chariot and Horses
1   Death of Family
1   Idol Worship
1   Orpah Departs
1   Pretension
1   Lurking

Lost souls:
1   Lost Soul (Wanderer)
1   Lost Soul (Humble)
1   Lost Soul (Dull)
1   Lost Soul (Lawless)
1   Lost Soul (Imitate)
1   Lost Soul (Open Hand)
1   Lost Soul (Forsaken)
1   Lost Soul II Chronicles 28:13 (Hopper)

Nice build. Here are some of my initial thoughts....

Heroes - Angel from the Sun seems like a glaring omission with so many martyrs. Claudia would also be nice.

GEs - I would cut The Lord Rebuke You! There should be plenty of firepower without it.

Arts - I'd cut Throne, seems like overkill with IaC.

Forts/sites - Coliseum seems pretty out of place here. It doesn't really benefit the offense at all, and stops you from running Uzzah, Scattered, and Balaam's Disobedience, all of which would be extremely helpful for such a small defense.

ECs - I'd try to fit in Emperor Vitellius either in main or reserve.

EEs - 3 battle winners does not seem like enough.

LSs - In my experience, Darkness is too inconsistent. I'd cut it for Wanderer.

Reserve - I'm not really sold on Gideon's Ephod but it seems I might be in the minority here.

If you’re running Peter and Stephen you really need battle-winning, CBN Acts enhancements.

Your defense is too thin. Add more ECs and EEs. Take out Coliseum and add in Scattered.

Jude can pick the old false prophet to block him and from there it’s an eternal inheritance play or any other battle winner really

Your right. Adding more Acts stuff will really maximize Stephen and Peter’s power

Because chump blocking and using scattered is so very meta I like the hard counter that Coliseum creates. I also really dig the misplays with cbn enhancements especially since people are using cbn enhancements more and more since no body runs coliseum lol. I see what you saying though. I’ll create a variant in which I use more chump block and take out coliseum to see which one is more effective.

I thought about Angel from the Sun. I might throw him in the reserve for late game Justin abuse.
I want Claudia in here too as a back up for watchful leader. I left her out mostly because I hit 50 cards already. I think you are right about too many ge’s. I’m gonna cut one and add another EE. I put Vitty in the reserve Balaam. I think your right about darkness too. Plus stealing an opponent’s humble will make Coliseum much more effective. Coliseum is mostly in here too shut down the chump blocks and cbn enhancements which makes my heroes like peter and Stephen so much more deadly plus Namaan too.

I really appreciate the advice everyone!

Another option is to use 3W to negate Coliseum so you can use some CBN stuff (like Scattered), but this may be too much to try and set up.

That’s true. I think scattered is too good to pass up and if anything I can used scattered as the throw away card for Orpah

I quoted the wrong person/quotes.  But you got the point. :p

And don’t forget that Naaman makes Scattered CBN even if there’s one hero in battle.

For quicker set up and specific targeting of certain heroes (such as Rhoda setting up Peter or whoever) I’d add in some exchanging angel like Angel of the Winds, and maybe Reassuring Angels to get James or Peter.

I'd also add Balaam's Disobedience.

I changed the deck a bit and really enjoyed play testing it. Life through Christ is amazing when paired with Jude while choosing False Prophet to block. Stephen is all around amazing since Rhoda protects him from Christian martyr and he shuffles away the rest of the evil doms in hand. Plus, all the GE's he makes cbn and blood of the Lamb makes him so strong. Adding Lurking and Proud Pharisee gives Namaan another chance to play an EE if he doesn't have his chariot.
