Why the 3-liner over the 2-liner?
-
for some reason i want to see a jephthah in here and maybe something to play on him (capturing caanan?)
I wish there was some way to create more evil brigades in opponents territory (seven wicked spirits,corrupted?)to utilize this card:

Why the 2-Liner over the 3-Liner? I dunno...what's the difference in 99% of games? If you want to get into the nitpicks, I personally don't like the idea of my opponent having 4 souls rescued and a half-rescued (by him) 2-Liner in his territory. Now if it's the 3-Liner, then that is fine with me, but I find the 2-Liner volatile in a way which I do not like because I cannot exploit it myself. I actually realize now that I should probably just take the 3/2-Liner out altogether, since I have no Burial...

Hm...perhaps...perhaps indeed...I don't know if I would want to take anything out though...

<Image of The Lord Fights for You>
If you use SWS or Corrupted to put a character of a brigade they don't have in their territory, guess what the first thing they will discard with TLFfY is? I have never found this card to be useful enough to be worth a card in my deck.
I just thought of something: Does "in battle" always refer to the current battle? If not, then I could see Shibboleth being real purty...

"Field of Battle" refers to all battles but "battle" refers to the current one.

Aw, so Shibboleth (http://redemptionreg.com/REG/shibboleth.htm) won't work in a side battle...

the reson he wouldn't use that is because he has 3 different brigades in his own deck: crimson, pale green, and orange

The only way this wouldn't be useful is if the opponent uses one brigade or if you use multiple brigades. Otherwise, why not? Protect forts are about the only way to stop TLFFY, and they are primarily used with single brigade themed defenses like the Babs this deck has. Splash defenses will have to keep all their characters in hand, or else they go bye-bye.
Also, the fact that TLFFY can get rid of Image of Jealousy, Destructive Sin, all the "place" enhancements, Abom, etc. just makes it an all-around good add if you have the room. If IoJ lands on Judge's Seat or The Tabernacle, how do you get rid of it?
I noticed that this deck has Deborah's Directive and Moses but no Ibzan and that made me :'(

I almost forgot about this. I am now not even considering putting TLFfY in here.
As for Ibzan, I was definitely considering him, but I was a little tight on space, so I took him out. I would love it if I could find something (hopefully a non-character) to take out for him.
-
take out Samuel for Ibzan because even if he is good for Judges Seat you already have Deborah who is 4/4, a judge, and has access to the Female Only and Eli the Priest who is your other 4/4 and has a SA. and where the Samaratian Water Jar. you have Women at the Well but no SWJ! you crazy!
