Best way to utilize A-bomb?

Ok what is the best way to utilize A-bomb? Straight gold, green/white with ctb Sabbath Breakers, include Hur, and Love at First Sight? What is it? So far I have done a green/gold and it was effective, but I want A-bomb to come out and set it up by turn 3. I do love doing Meeting the Messiah, then Generous Widow, that's nasty. But in your opinion, what is the best way to utilize an A-bomb deck in type 2 so that your opponent's entire territory is gone?

I would go pretty close to what red was saying but i would make a bit of a change for personal prefrence.   keeping to the ussage of 40 cards

I would load up with
5 lydias,
3 Sussana's
3 women of wisdom*
2 war officer *
2 elijahs
2 moses


4 Trans
3 reach
3 words
5 Aoc P
2 Spirit as a dove
2 the new recursion card
2 ACIB
3 Blessings

What these changes do is allow for you to do is  allow for the same amount of versiatility with less colors allowing for a stronger deck.  I hope my math was correct. The astrics mean replace with personal prefrence I like women of wisdome for the numbers and officer for the sa.   The idea with this offense is your high offense low defense charcter goes out for an RA,  If they block low number charcter you drop blessing you win.  IF they give you initaitive you can drop tran or words and trans giving you a decent chance of a rescue.  Use Lydia for even more versatility.  Elijah can be used to make a rescue early on if you get reach and aoc p or even later on but he tends to be weaker late game wtih that as your only playable combe on him.   This deck gets hurt by CBN capture so watch out.  IF they get dunguen of malachi off on your moses you can still win the game but it hurts.

You have too many enhancements. Mine would include TGT obviously. Also mine is more ratio balanced. Yours is good, but you have much to learn grasshopper.

A-bom is a lot easier to pull off in T2 I think, especially since you get 5 A-boms instead of 1. I would say that a good idea would be to try a sitelock deck with this, since you will want to have a High Places for your A-boms anyway and thus adding some Danites Attacks would be worthwhile. I would also try to combine your super-territory-destruction with a little GT and hope you dont run into too much black brigade (yeah right :P).

don't listen to any of those advice.
just wind up a ba-bomb and your all set for destruction  ;)

but if you wanna build a deck that's powerful i suggest looking through your collection to see what you have and what cards work best for your game.
i mean what fun is building a deck when you ask for decklists, anyway?

but here's my bomb:

offense:
the sabbath
jehoram
zeal for the lord

defense:
king zeddy
weakness
dungeon
king jeroboam I
the other king that works the same way as king amon

Quite funny... I have a T1 deck (154 cards) that has an offense eerily similar to what you just suggested.  The only difference was that I ended up taking the white out, because:

1. TGT didn't help me much. 
2. Love at first sight is absolutely NOT worth it.
3. The character abilities on white's heroes just don't cut it compared to green and gold.

On a side note, I'm still looking for a final green prophet to put in.  Right now it's just Hur and Micah.  Habakkuk is in there as my last one right now... but would you suggest a different dude???
Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.

Hur isn't a prophet just in case you were under the assumption he was.

It's tough to say what your best choice is without seeing the rest of the deck.
Joel is obviously the best for getting initiative to play Search if that is part of the deck.
Miriam gives you a female/prophet combo.
Nathan helps in clearing their territory (and with 154 cards I'm guessing you have plenty of Evil cards to spare).
Nahum gives you extra site access.
Agabus & St. Patrick give you a NT/Prophet combo.
Fortress Alstad
Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?
