Why so many sites? The only deck I have seen work effectively with sites is the Babalonians. Anyway, I don't see a point of making a deck and have one e.c. color in there with two enhancements. There is a rare chance that you might get it and that is a waste of space. I think that your deck is unbalanced. Once you get it balanced with the right brigade colors/enhancements then try moding it little by little.

It's a theme deck, which means sometimes the themes don't allow you to make a feasible strategy...

I could be wrong since I didn't make the deck, but it looks like the theme isn't so much based on the "colors of Christmas" as it is based on cards that are tied to the Christmas story by their scripture.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.  I designed this deck to tell the christmas story.  I am currently in the middle of reprinting some cards that would go well with a nativity theme
