Hi,

I threw this deck together its disciples and designed to draw fast and has a pharisee/sadducee defense. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to improve it as I'm fairly new to the game. I am open to anything thanks!

On Defense you are missing Pretention and Baalam's disobedience.

What about a Falling Away or Guardian of your Souls?

The problem is the dom limit though since the hopper doesn't count toward lost soul count there can only be 7 doms. I figured since its supposed to play fast harvest time would be more useful than those two. What would you suggest taking out to put either of those in?

I would saw throw sabbath breakers in there and pull an enhancement out.  I would also consider dropping a couple good enhancements like prosperity, and sons of thunder.

Harvest time may be a good play for the speed deck but it can be useless lots of games I would consider guardian to protect the souls you have saved from be Fallen Away.

Oh yeah, it also depends on if your deck is defensive or offensive.

FA is statistically better than GoyS if you only use one. If you draw either after your opponent draws the appropriate counter, it's useless, so that's a wash. However, if you have FA and your opponent has no GoyS, you get use out of it, but if you have GoyS and your opponent doesn't have FA, it's still a wasted slot.
