Blue / Green Flood Offense with Antediluvian Defense

I am taking part in a District Tournament this weekend and for the first time since I started the game in 2012 I am going to try a new deck for T1 2-Player.

My old deck is TGT and I've just updated it with every new release; so here is my concept for the new deck.  It has done pretty well in play testing.

Heroes (16):
Moses (CoW)
Enoch (CoW)
Abraham (CoW)
Ham (CoW)
Japheth (CoW)
Melchiezedek (CoW)
Noah (CoW)
Shem (CoW)
Noah's Wife (CoW)
Samuel (CoW)
Angel at Shur (Promo)
Isaiah (FooF)
Seraph (RA)
Seraphim (WA Blue)
Seraph with a Live Coal (FooF)
The Angel of the Winds(CoW)

Good Enhancements (11):
Faith Among Corruption (CoW)
Faith of Abraham (CoW)
Faith of Noah (CoW)
Faith of Isaac (CoW)
Faith of Samuel (CoW)
Seven Years of Plenty (FooF)
The Flood (CoW)
Isaiah's Call (FooF)
Patience (TEC)
Live Coal (FooF)
The Dove Returns (CoW)

Evil Characters (4):
Corrupt People (CoW)
Cain (CoW)
Violent Men (CoW)
Wicked People (CoW)

Evil Enhancements (3):
Cain Murders Abel (CoW)
Wickedness Abounds (CoW)
Confusion (CoW)

Artifacts (4):
Holy Grail (Wa)
Unholy Writ (Ap)
Chariot of Fire (Promo)
Hezekiah's Signet Ring (Ki)

Forts (3):
Noah's Ark (Promo)
Cloud of Witnesses (CoW)
Coliseum (CoW)

Lost Souls (8):
Hebrews 10:25
Hebrews 5:11
Hebrews 12:8
3-Line
Female Only
Hopper
Revealer
Luke 5:15 (Promo)

Dominants(7):
Son of God (Greek) I prefer not negating
The Second Coming
Falling Away (Wo)
Destruction of Nehushtan
Burial
Angel of the Lord (Greek)
Christian Martyr

I know the defense is pretty light and the offense very heavy.  In play testing the strong offense paid off and seemed to be very adaptable. 

Is there anything you feel is missing or anything you would take out and what you would replace it with?

No I have never used Lackey before I'll look into it.

Some adjustments I would consider--

Heroes (16):
Moses (CoW)
Enoch (CoW)
Abraham (CoW)
Ham (CoW)
Japheth (CoW)
Melchiezedek (CoW)
Noah (CoW)
Shem (CoW)
Noah's Wife (CoW)
Samuel (CoW)
Angel at Shur (Promo)
Isaiah (FooF)
Seraph (RA)
Seraphim (WA Blue)
Seraph with a Live Coal (FooF)
The Angel of the Winds(CoW)

Good Enhancements (11):
Faith Among Corruption (CoW)
Faith of Abraham (CoW)--I don't think this is necessary as you already have other ways to get Abraham out (Angel at Shur, Noah), Faith of Abel would be a nice replacement.
Faith of Noah (CoW)
Faith of Isaac (CoW)
Faith of Samuel (CoW)
Seven Years of Plenty (FooF)
The Flood (CoW)
Isaiah's Call (FooF)
Patience (TEC) -- Shouldn't need this when you have Melchizedek, I would replace with Abraham's Descendant.
Live Coal (FooF)
The Dove Returns (CoW)

Evil Characters (4):
Corrupt People (CoW)
Cain (CoW)
Violent Men (CoW)
Wicked People (CoW)

Evil Enhancements (3):
Cain Murders Abel (CoW)
Wickedness Abounds (CoW)
Confusion (CoW)

Artifacts (4):
Holy Grail (Wa)
Unholy Writ (Ap)
Chariot of Fire (Promo) -- You have a ton of Heroes so I don't think you need to worry about losing too many where you need to get them out of Discard. I would add Death of Unrighteous to give your defense a bit more stall ability.
Hezekiah's Signet Ring (Ki)

Forts (3):
Noah's Ark (Promo)
Cloud of Witnesses (CoW)
Coliseum (CoW)

Lost Souls (8):
Hebrews 10:25
Hebrews 5:11
Hebrews 12:8
3-Line
Female Only
Hopper
Revealer
Luke 5:15 (Promo)

Dominants(7):
Son of God (Greek) I prefer not negating
The Second Coming
Falling Away (Wo)
Destruction of Nehushtan
Burial
Angel of the Lord (Greek)
Christian Martyr

One other card I think you could add would be The Serpent. I would try to do some testing and see which Hero you don't seem to use very often and cut that Hero for The Serpent.

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?

Moses seems really out of place. He stops Melchizedek and most all of the TC stuff. He's a great hero, but this kind of deck doesn't take advantage of him at all.

Thanks for the input I will definitely look into it.  Doesn't Faith of Abel require Abel to activate?

I definitely felt that Chariot wasn't really required in play testing. 

Moses seems really out of place. He stops Melchizedek and most all of the TC stuff. He's a great hero, but this kind of deck doesn't take advantage of him at all.

I thought Moses wouldn't be a good fit when I first constructed the deck specifically because of Melchizedek.  In the three playtests that was not the case.  He is an added bit of control for territory cards I may not always use him to attack.

Faith of Abel needs Abel to use interrupt the battle, but you still get the shuffle both in and out of battle without him.
