My first suggestion would be to pick one or two themes for offense and defense and work from there, you seem to have alot of splash which can lead to problems in a deck this big.
From there, try to cut it down to 50 - 70 cards (70 being Site Lock / Heavy defense with a smaller or combo offense)
Also, with a smaller deck you will draw dominants faster.
My last suggestion, Try to keep your Character and enhancement ration at 1 to 1, if you only have 3 characters for 6 enhancements you probably won't ever get to play half of the enhancements.
I'm trying to be as generic as possible because I don't know where you want to go with this deck.

I don't have a ton of time, but just cutting out cards, I would probably do something like the following for starters :)

By my count you still have 69 cards, which is way to much unless you are playing a herolite or heroless deck.

OOPS! I miss counted! I have 66 cards..... why so low on card count?

Updated my deck!! Going to try this out and see if it works ;D

My first suggestion: either add 3 cards to get up to 70 total, or take 3 regular cards and 1 Lost Soul out and get to 63 so you have one less Lost Soul in your deck. It's usually a waste to be right in the middle of a range.

It doesn't seem like there's much specific strategy with your deck, unless I'm missing something. Cherubim seems random with your apparent white/purple theme. Also, I don't know the effects of all of those Black enhancements offhand, but with knowing the Crimson ones it doesn't seem like you have much to make Raiders' Camp worthwhile, in terms of evil enhancements that capture.

Just my :2cents:

yeah i was thinking about adding those three cards :P .
Yes Cheribum is random ;D I just like him! LOL!
and for some reason the 2 cards that capture get used a LOT, i just seem to draw them :angel:
Thanks for the advice!

Be Blessed,
