Issue with having both.... if you are somehow forced to put down servant, then zebelun becomes useless.

What could "force" me to put down Servant?

Well, I have Storehouse to help, and only a few EEs anyway.  It seems to me that if they are not attacking that is a gift to me and they will likely lose anyway, unless their deck is specifically designed to stop this kind of deck, in which case I would just concede   Again, this will be my 17th real life deck for our playgroup members (more advanced ones in this case) to use.

Seems pretty well put together, but I agree, with that small defense, it will be hard to beat tough offenses.  I do like that you're use'n both guys though in case you face a big defense then you can use zeb.  If they have a quick deck, then use ws. 

That set-aside is dangerous.  Make sure to have up IaH and watch out for Darius' Decree. 

What is I am Grace in for?

What happens if they use Golgotha + Caesarea Philippi?

I admit that I was not sure about I am Grace, especially if Josiah's Cov is up.  Mainly I was concerned about if they placed an Abom, IOJ, or DS in territory and/or on a hero.  Is I am Grace not needed?

I would say it's unneeded.  As long as you don't make any mistakes with your 2 guys you should be fine.  I think you need in something to stop Gol+CP though.  That could beat you before you even start.

Why Switch? Cov. Palestine does in one card what those two do seperately, It is the far superior card.

So far in CASUAL play this deck has gone 3-0 already against my other casual decks.  It has enough defensive options to deck out and let Zeb do his thing, or better yet the opponent has a 50 card speed deck and Watchful Servant moves in when they deck out.  Now I know that this only works because the opposing decks are not filled with Disciples cards, but I thought I would just mention that against someone not using certain Disciples cards this deck can do very well.  If you get them site locked you don't have to block anymore, you have 4 capture opportunities, and you hopefully remove the rest of their cards from the game.

Covenant of Palestine is a Prevent, so CBN captures still work. Idk if he uses any capture of his own, but if he does, then Palestine prevents his too.
