I'm wondering if I should bump it up to 63:
OUT:
Hopper
Andrew
Outpost
KoT (gold)
Philly Trio
Burial
First Round

IN:
two souls--suggestions?
Golgotha
Gates of Hell
Gates of Jerusalem
Ashael
A Soldier's Prayer
KoT (orange)
Spirit of Temptation
Wandering Spirit
King Manny
Magic Charms
Gib's Trick
Shimei's Malicious Curse
2K Horses
Suicidal Swine Stampede

It's kinda small, but when I used a large magician defense I loved it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Suggestions?

Take 5 cards out of the first deck, then you should be fine. ;)

I've considered it, but I repeatedly see people thinking balanced is better. I'm not convinced, but I thought I'd try it. However, I love having two Andrews in a deck, and Disciples would be the only reason for me to do that, so I refuse to change my offense. For now.

If I would take things out, I'd probably just take out the Phillies. Or Gomer, Plot, Burial, and...a couple other things.

Dont take out Hamans Plot. That is a battle winner. I think you should be able to take the Phillies out. Burial you can take that out as well.
