Good question
It's because I don't have a spare deck slot for zhanna or therebin of course!
(Actually, jerrys ability can be very useful for stopping freezes and UN crippling your unique nathanias)

Also SE is mainly used fo r staff anyway

haha, I saw Jojiwakabayashi running a fat Jericho deck not too long ago...did not see devoted Lightbearer in it or ascendant of the hero.

I'd probably recommend more Devoted Knights, Priest of the Lights and Tainted Oracle and take out some of those cards that no one ever plays because they're not very good...Or you could just throw in some booomerangs and call it a day

Assendant of hero is actually a very good card, effectively giving all your minions +1/+1. Devoted lightbearer is a bit shit, but I could put in some attachments to make him better.

Yeah - +1/+1 is nice, but that's why people use King's pride in priest decks...+2/+1 is better. Also it reduces a good amount of damage.

Yes but it costs seven and you Can't play it on t4

Like the concept, not a fan of some of the ally choices though.

DL is not likely to stick unless you are going first so I'd say in the very least swap the DL DK split to have 4 DK and 2 DL.

KotGD is effectively a vanilla 4/6 in this deck so imo both Brax and Raven are better. (Even with it being a 5/7 with AotH)

Undecided about Gunther + Viska over Aeon. With no weak allies to protect your way makes a lot of sense, but I still think Aeon works better with Nath.


Non-ally last things
TKP is also worth considering but again less needed in a fatty build. -1 AotH -1 RoM +2 TKP might worth looking into but cannot say for sure.

Have you considered Res or Book of Curses? Res would help trigger Nath considering you are not running many allies (still a tempo loss so likely only worth it for back to back Nath). BoC keeps a surprising amount of damage off you and will make your fatties that much harder to remove. Running 4 DK 3 BoC (-4 DL -1 RoM + 2 DK +3 BoC) will make the odds of your first fatty sticking much higher as it will either come out t4 or they will require additional allies to deal the needed damage to actually kill your fatty (which in itself is a scary thing against priests because of TW)

Since I posted this list I have already made most of these changes. I switched the DL DK split and I swapped the 4x golden dawn to 2x raven 2x sandworm. I also put one aeon in, just because he can be useful. Forgot what I took out. I like the idea of BoC, especially if I add more sandworm.
What is res?
