Any advise (besides Grapes since I doubt I'll owe one for a long time)?

Sound the Trumpet, Storehouse, Household Idols, Covenant of Salt, Herod Agrippa 1, Gomer, and a LS can come out.

Here's why I have them in (just so you can see my reasoning):

Sound The Trumpet: To get rid of a site (though, I know CP would stop it).

Storehouse: This deck used to have three evil brigades (still has two) so I have it in there to save enhancements for brigades I don't have in play.

Household Idols: To make sure no banding chain can go above mine (plus, Herod's Dungeon only captures one person and most my enhancements would only take care of one person).

Covenant Of Salt: To increase all their OT guys by two so there's more of a chance for HD to nab them.

Herod Agrippa 1:  He's a red Herod that can be banded in.  Tiss all

Gomer:  I try to make sure I have enough ways to band across brigades to limit the times I don't have the right peeps for the enhancements in my hand.

Now knowing that (and I tend to like 63 card decks), what should be changed (maybe take HA 1 out for another heretic)?

here is prolly what your defense should look like

sites 4
cp
golgotha
chorazin
herod dungeon


ecs 7
herodias
archaelus
salome
herod phillip 2
herod the great
herod agrippa 2
king of tyrus

ees 8

herod treachery
imprisoned
escape to egypt
swift horses
moses kills egyptian
beheaded
wonders forgotten
mask of fear

i think you should cut the heretics do them as a seperate deck but thats my opinion

Also, what would destry this deck and why (so I can see what would be good counters to add).

The silver you have in there is meh. You shouldn't have fear of losing your Soggy. Personally, I'd take out the silver all together.

Offense could use Jubilee to recur Job's Overpowered Faith.
