To start, I'll say that, from experience, 6 weapons seems to be the number to shoot for in a weapon based deck. I'll include explanations I've why I choose each card.
Deck:
Threbin + 39
Allies-18
4x Zealous Mystic
~ Does Arcane Damage and is a Templar. Ability is handy for fear and cripples. Avenger doesn't sync well with Devoted Knight.
4x Devoted Knight
~ Arcane Dmg and Templar. Free resources when killed.
2x Guardian of Unaxio
~ Arcane Dmg and Templar. Some extra dmg mitigation as well.
4x Templar Champion
~ Templar. Doesn't do arcane dmg exactly but does AOE arcane dmg when you summon another templar. Very nice for this deck.
2x Tainted Oracle
~ Some extra card draw just in case. Without Aldon, Elizabeth doesn't seem as good. With all the new cards, I do not fear diplomat or acolyte as much here.
2x Justicar Alysia
~ Boosts your arcane dmg. Which means Threbin's ability, weapons, and most of your allies. Essentially replaces aldon for that role.
Abilities-11
4x Retreat
~ A standard for Priests. In this case, a 2cc board control
4x Zail's Hymn
~ Your 3cc board control. Think of a warrior with crippling and shield bash. Mine is Retreat and Hymn.
3x Focused Prayer
~ Your tech.
Items-10
4x Scriptures of the Righteous
~ Primary card draw. This will work on just about every turn. I want Threbin on the offensive as much as possible so I avoided Wizent.
4x Rod of Smiting.
~ Syncs well with Justicar. Threbin is like a 3 SE logan with this or take that dmg out on the other hero. Very nice.
2x Madelain's Scepter
~ Love this card but I've never had luck relying on it with its 6cc cost. Better to have it as an extra rather than the primary.
Concerns:
Zealous doesn't hit very hard and Knight dies easily. This will leave you vulnerable in the very early game. It may be safer to rely on Retreat and Hymn early. Don't waist Threbin's ability on a weak ally. Either a fatty or a hero. You don't have heals for this deck so you want to be aggressive.
