under new rules it is 4 not 5...you need to cut a Samaria.   :)

EDIT: I hope you are coming to my tournament...I'm nervous about giving advice to someone who may be trying to beat me.   ;)

I don't think you really need 4 Gideon's because he is already difficult to get rid of, plus with 2 Chariots you will be getting some back.

I agree. x2 Chariots is probably excessive too. Ehud's Dagger is great. It also works on Moses. I'd add a couple of those and take out a Gideon or two.

I will take a more indepth look , if you would like, at the deck later but now I just have some "off the top of my head" remarks. Offensively, the Gideon and Chariots are excessive. You can for sure get by with just 2 Gideons as your angels can get the guys you need from d/c pile. You don't need 3x Samson either I would take it down to 2. Also Chamber of Angels will not help you that much, its too slow and will clog your draw. Furthermore I am not sure that you would even be able to exchange to your d/c for a judge because chamber insteads the d/c. Either that or the angel will not go to Chamber.

Defensively you need a way to get innitiative. Type 2 is all about innitiative and cbn. Your lowest character is 3/2 and you will probably A) use his ability or B) not have big enough numbers to play Gib Trick. I would add some some Zeds, Nabdads, and Jeroboams for innitiative and recursion.

I will post more ideas later but I hope this helped.  :)

I think Judges will be popular this year, however you may end up changing your deck around after a few games as you see what works and what doesn't. I could see Israelite Archers or some Luke/John NT gold working well in this deck. You may also want to look at putting in the FBTN lost soul if you run into NT/Female lost souls. The offense looks good, but could use some help enhancement wise. I can offer up some suggestions on the offensive side, but will let someone elso help out with the defense since I haven't used Gates of Samaria any in t2.
