Holy Grail works well with Woman at the Well.

And i went with Phillies for defence b/c Zacc pulls out Outpost and I like to discard Abomb with Outpost then block with Goat and play Christian Martyr or even Aotl/grapes my own guy for shennanigans.

The nice bit of Joiada is that combo works even when your opponent has decked out.
