Well, in a cloud deck, you will probably have a decent amount of white and green, so Justin martyr is a good option to throw in, and there are several key cloud characters who are also musicians, so the tabernacle will be a good add after nats. Also, since all the cloud enhancements are NT, you can use fifth seal/justice seekers to grab one from the reserve. As for Genesis, I really don't know. They have basically no reserve support, except that they work well with silver, so maybe angel from the altar?

Yeah I am in a conundrum...I enjoy these decks and I am wondering if I should worry about trying to include a reserve with these...
I am thinking, using the offense, but change the defense to allow me to access the reserve if needed...thoughts?
I don't see any reason for a deck not to have The Deceiver and a bunch of useful humans in Reserve if nothing else.
Also Covenant of Prayer and Gain LS pretty much fit into any deck.
You can use the deceiver, cov of prayer, and manipulate the gain lost soul with the imitate lost soul. This will allow you to use a good amount of your reserve.

Yeah I am in a conundrum...I enjoy these decks and I am wondering if I should worry about trying to include a reserve with these...I personally don't think that all decks need a reserve. There are certainly some that can use it, and some where it is better for certain cards to be in the reserve than not, but with decks like Genesis, i think they are fine without it. Genesis is already pretty powerful with zeb, Joseph, Ben, and the new Abraham mini theme, and I think they have a shot of doing well this year. Same with Egyptians. They got an amazing boost in cloud, and I think they have a shot at being in a top deck. Plus with the new outsiders and the new merchants of the earth to recur eg treasures and abandonment, they are pretty strong.
