This doesn't look anything like a deck destroy deck. You have Gabriel, who will be defeated after one battle since you have nothing to play on him, and you have Given Over to Egypt, which will be discarded as soon as it reveals an LS, and can only be used when your one Egyptian is in play. I would either add more deck destruction stuff, or drop the strategy entirely.

In his defense, Amasai is definitely deck destroy and Rain becomes Dust can work that way too (but rarely does).

Other dangers, note that your own ECs are vulnerable to your own AOCP, and you have no way to get them back (i.e. Torment).  Also, Ethiopian Treasurer usually doesn't work well with Sites, because you run out of room to put the lost souls.  That will not be an issue if you get your Bab Banquet Hall out early though, so I suggest someone like Angel of Warning TxP who can search for a site or a fortress.  Speaking of fortresses, don't you want a WOP in there?

Otherwise, not bad :)

Ah yes, I forgot about Amasai, but he has the same problem: he will almost always be defeated after one battle, as there is nothing to play on him, and no one to band to him.

Yes, but Gabriel and Amasai also make fun battle challenge cards, when a defender might not want to waste an evil enhancement (which are getting scarce anyway) when there is no lost soul in contention.  But I agree that if it was me, I wouldn't let them keep making unanswered battle challenges like that.

Ironically this deck is very vulnerable to the same characters, as AOCP and Destructive Sin would be enticing :)

Wow, you're right.  I assumed that at least DON would be in there.  Good catch.

Oops, I shall add that, but what should i take out? I really need this deck to be fifty cards.

I would take out Priestly Crown, as more of your heroes are NT and you have multiple colors of heroes anyway.  I'd also take out the toughness /4 LS for the Anti-Shuffler, since you're using sites.  And I'd also add the Hopper LS and Harvest Time as your 51st and 52nd cards to speed things up.  (Harvest Time can also be discarded to get rid of an opponent's Confusion of Mind too). 

In fact, you might as well go to 56 cards in my opinion.  In a deck with 7 sites the odds are more in your favor to go to 56 cards I think.  Add Angel of Warning TxP to get Bab Banquet Hall out (or WOP), add Wall of Protection.  And add two more cards to defense (Torment and Unholy Writ, for example, or maybe Unknown Nation?). 

Just my ideas though :)  Good luck.

With site lock out I do a 63 or 70. I never do a 56 because it takes away from your offense and defense. You still need people to defend when you don't get the sites out in time. Taking away from your offense is just silly lol. Offense wins games...Period

Yes, I did think about that. But for a part of my hero deck destroy, I do have destructive sin, and image...
