C. Recurring CBN battle winners... can search for him in draw or discard using a territory class... need I say more?

But some people say Iron Pan is good enough to use Ezekiel...

Samuel.

Samuel isn't really a prophet deck, he just happens to be a prophet.

I actually enjoy using a combination of A and C. I use Isaiah as a base, with a solid prophet back up.

One of those CBN battle winners can also kill an artifact. As well as a CBN character. And a ton of other new set CBN stuff. Not to mention DoN. It's an artifact, it's not that hard to get rid of.

EDIT: I actually do the same thing as Chronic, but Isaiah is my favorite by far ;)

So is John+BF with Disciples Gabe still an effective strategy?

I actually use Micah, Hosea, and Daniel.

Mixed. I use Isaiah, Zeke, and a few of the other big hitters along with Cherubim, Seraph, and Smokey. It works extremely well.

Do people still use Anna Simeon Band? I saw it in two different decks at MO states this year.

Right now there is a big focus on OT themes/OT prophets because of the new set. However, when the excitement of the new set tapers a bit, I'm sure that NT Prophets will still find themselves in some decks. Simeon is still one of the best Prophets there is, it's just that there are several other new prophets that are nearly as good, or in some cases/for some strategies, better.
