Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
 The
whole reason for the name is the Daybreak Coronet picture actually looks
like Jesus. Other than that it's fun to say after winning a match that
Jesus sucked the life out of you.
The first thing most people think when looking at this
deck is, "that can't win in a tournament". I beg to differ and know that
it can. This deck is very consistent on the draw and most of the time
all you need is one creature and a Spirit Link to stay in a game long
enough to win with a huge flying doublestriker double likelinker. Think
about it! All the creatures in this list are essentially hard to get rid
of in the environment today. Enchant the creature with any one of these
enchantments and you are in business. Four or five mana is all that is
needed to run this bad boy so the consistency should be recognizable.
Wrath effects are the only cards that disrupt this deck.
In aggro match ups this deck is a white king. Elves
have to get a perfect draw to win. Goblins can't kill you fast enough to
make a difference before you get to forty life and start dealing 8 or
more points of damage to the dome. Faeries can counter the enchantments
in the first few turns but it really depends on when they can bounce the
creature with Cryptic Command. The Jesus deck can effectively get the
faeries player down near four or so before getting his creatures bounced
or tapped and the faeries player winning their next attack phase. This
is the only weakness with this deck but thanks to Shadowmoor there is an
answer to this.
R/G Big Mana can't keep up and anything running red
should just concede the entire match up.
Reveillark is sometimes a problem if they get to combo
off in their first six turns. Now some Reveillark lists actually run
with Riftwing Cloudskate and that's a problem for this deck. However by
the fifth turn (the turn that Riftwing Cloudskate unsuspends) this deck
can have the Reveillark player on his knees begging for mercy. If you
have more than one or two creatures out there and one of them is Soltari
Priest then it's usually over by the fifth turn. Doran can't deal with
fliers and Deathmark is useless against this deck for the most part.
Lets not forget that Knight of the Holy Nimbus can regenerate past a
Deathmark and Paladen en Vec can't even be targetted by it.
