I'll bet if you did a search you could find a thread with an identical title made by myself. However, I am really quite fond of this combination, and since TxP came out I have made a new version of this deck which I think I really like. It's full of nice combos which make it seem like these two themes were made for each other. See what you think...

Some of my fave combos: The Tartan can capture Ittai and King Asnappar can capture Pharaoh's daughter. This is something I picked up from Kirk about a year ago, and it's still one of my favorite combos ever, especially since both of those heroes go so well in this deck (Ittai provides some much-needed banding to get past those pesky "Immune to lone heroes" characters and such, and Pharaoh's Daughter provides the conditions needed for King Lemming). I also Love how King Saron's captures CBN if Assyria is in play, but the site also can provide me protection from my own AoCP with the Color Guard. It's also convenient that a deck with lots of forts also has lots of fort searching just by nature (Solomon and Sargon). This deck just generally sends out a good vibe.

My favorite Self Capture combo is Idolaters capturing Aaron, then play Retreat from AW. Are there any retreats in PG? I think this would work well in T2.

I've always thought about making adeck like this, but never went through with it. This looks like it could do pretty well if you can hold them off long enough to get a few souls.

This is only usable once or twice, but I guess it isn't a bad combo. Throw a Great Mourning in there for added sneakiness.
I think this would work well in T2.
Pretty much any kind of combo deck works better in T2.
Now that I think of it, you could make an Assyrian deck with some brown splash and then make a Green offense with Aaron, Midwives, and Ittai, and then put in Miriam and David for banding targets, and you're on your way with an alright Prophets deck. I might look into a deck like that, but I think this deck is just about as effective.

I tried a deck like this and it works fairly well...I'm working on a different kind of capture myself...but with different brigades mwahaha
