Pretty much all those reasons. I also don't have any way to rescue NT/Female only LSs without it.

I don't think this deck is efficient enough. I'm not sure what any red (other than David) adds to this deck. Habbukkuk stands Watch is kinda meh. Burning Incense should definately have made the cut. Hur is kina superfluous seeing as he can't even play any battle winners. I just see a lot of waste devoted towards drawing in this deck without any other purpose.

i agree with alex theres better ways to do this speed is good but just plain superfluous drawing without enough solid winners will still lose

Hur can play Spiritual Warfare. The Red gives me a battle winner off Ahimelek with Jehoiad's Strength & a recur-able CBN battle winner.  Maybe habby stands watch out for Burning incense? I'd also like to fit in Provisions, but I'm not sure what to take out.

Can you be more specific? For battle winners I have Zeal, Bravery of David (recurable), Spiritual Warfare (recurable), Two Bears (recuarble), and Jehoiada's Strength (with Ahimelek). Plus Aaron+Moses band.

You're correct that Hur can play Spiritual Warfare. However you have 3 other characters in the deck that play Spiritual Warfare 10x more efficiently than he does.

If you don't have plot then you should play with 50 cards. I would take out Habbakkuk Stands Watch.

I think this deck lacks focus. It looks like a pretty standard Samuel deck, but it's kind of lacking oomph. Take out Habbakuk Stands Watch, Benedictus, and your three red cards (not David) to add Isaiah's Call, King Hezzy, Haman's Plot, Live Coal, and U&T. It gives you a little more focus, vastly improves your defense, gives you the chance to see your opponent's hand, and adds a second powerhouse combo.

I'll need to add Isaiah then too.

Oops, forgot him. Add Isaiah instead of U&T then.

Hur can play Spiritual Warfare.

One battle winner (two if you include AOTL) is probably not enough to warrant the use of that combo in this deck. You just won't ever want to attack with him. If you opponent DoN's the GotM, Hur is wasted entirely.

Your red is easily shut down by one of the most common abilities in the game. That makes it really questionable in context of the rest of the deck. Ahimelek is vastly overrated. You aren't even using Silver Trumpets, so I'm not sure why you are using him.

SW is not recurable. Two Bears can be interrupted. Jehoida's Strength only wins a battle against a lone blocker and only by making the rest of your deck less efficient with forced inclusion of another secondary color. Aaron+Moses solo isn't really doing much in a meta where Gomer is in virtually every deck.


This deck is largely fluff among it's cogs to draw and the supporting roles are filled with cards that make the deck significantly less efficient. I just don't see how this deck has any advantages over a more standard Samuel or Prophet deck.

I've updated it without the Red.

You still need a Plot on defense. You may as well scrap the defense entirely without it.

now Nazzy really hurts this deck. Maybe 51 with Bennedictus back in?
