Can I get some help

I have built a new deck, but I don't know anyone that can help me.  I thought this may be a good place to ask.
The cards I have in my deck are as follows:

Lost Souls; 7
1 x If you put this lost soul in a site, each of your opponents must discard a card from hand
6x Regular Lost Souls

Heros;
2 x Purple Brigade;
James, son of Zebedee
John
2 x Silver Brigade;
Angel of Revelation
Kira
2 x Yellow Brigade
Moses
Elders of Israel

Good Enhancements;
3 x Purple Brigade
Reach of Desperation
Letters to the Churches
Cast out Demons
4 x Silver Brigade;
The Fourth Seal
The Fifth Seal
Hammer of Heaven
War in Heaven
4 x Yellow Brigade
Raised to Life
Plague of Hail
Plague of Flies
Plague of Boils
1 x Multicolored Brigade
Pillar of a Cloud

Evil Characters;
3 x Pink Brigade;
Red Dragon
Herod Agrippa I
Herodian
3 x Pale Green Brigade;
Spirit of Doubt
Panic Demon
Shechem

Evil Enhancements;
6 x Pink Brigade
Seeds of Doub
Escape
Going to their Deaths
Grievous Departure
Stormy Seas
Besieged (Curse)
5 x Pale Green Brigade;
Misuse of Talents
Bad Intentions
Murder
Demonic Mist
Bad Dealings
1 x Multicolored Brigade
Love of Money

Dominants;
Son of God
Angel of the Lord
Christian Martyr
Burial

Sites;
Desolate City
Herod's Temple
Dangerous
Place of Temptation

Artifacts;
Tables of the Law
Temple Veil
Altar of Incense
Altar of Ahaz
Moses' Rod

Card Number; 56

If you think that I should take something out and add something better, please let me know so that I can check and see if I can.  Thank you for your help.

Did you just build this deck for fun? Overall I can immediately suggest you add a lot more characters and take out enhancements. It looks like a lot of the time your hand would be clogged with enhancements and you would be looking for characters to play them on.

The forum has a lot of great deck lists to look in to where you can find combos and all kinds of info to compare your decks and play style to!

When you fix that problem, you will no longer need Tables of the Law, freeing up an extra slot!

If you want to keep the deck similar in idea but make it stronger, focus on getting the new Moses when the new expansion comes out, get a hold of an Aaron and a Hur (they're cheap, Moses won't be), and then you can actually have a pretty rockin' and unexpected offense if you focus on your Moses plays. And when selecting Enhancements to use with your Moses, remember, he can also use non-Plague Enhancements that are naturally CBP or CBN (such as Drawn Sword) as well as Cloud Enhancements. Furthermore, Crimson (what you're calling Pink) and Pale Green are the two strongest Evil brigades, so you're on the right track. As your collection grows and you replace cards you have with Meta cards, this outline will evolve into an A-tier deck.

More generally, unless you're building a combo or turtle deck, you want to have about
-9-11 Heroes, 6-8 GEs including at least 3 battle-winners and 3 negates (sometimes one cards satisfies both of these requirements)
-7-9 ECs and 5-7 EEs including at least 3 battle-winners, 2 negates and some sort of speed boost (a good D3 or Tutor) (sometimes a card satisfies multiple of these requirements)
-7 LSs with useful SAs (there are a ton of LSs with good SAs for $0.25), one of which is the 2-line Lost Souls card.
-7 Dominants, 4 of which are Mayhem (this is a very expensive card and while a big upgrade over many Doms, there are still good options for you without it), SoG, Second Coming (another crazy-expensive card, but you can use New Jerusalem which is much cheaper and somewhat as good) and Grapes of Wrath.
-1 or 2 Sites with Special Abilities that help your offense or defense, 3 at the absolute most if you're running an N.T. defense or Pithom.
-1-5 Artifacts, but no more than 2 that are not limited-use (remember, you can only have one active at a time, and an inactive artifact is not helping you win)
-Fortresses that specifically help what you're trying to accomplish (the final form of this deck has Colosseum, for example), but usually no more than 2 or 3 (Gates of Hell doesn't count since it's played similarly to a Negate or Battle Winner EE)

There are some slots unaccounted for based on exactly what kind of deck you're playing and whether you want to run a 52 or 56 card deck.

You have absolutely come to the right place. On this board we'll fight each other over trying to give the best advice to a player that asks for it!

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I fully expect Moses' Rod decks to be a thing.

CoW Moses + Gold/Green Plagues
Benaiah + Plague of Frogs/Lice
Samuel + Armorbearer + Benaiah (make it a FBTN battle) + Gold/Green Plagues
Shamhuth + Plague of Flies/Hail

I'd even be half-tempted to add Captain of the Host and Death of Firstborn.  8)

Basically a FBTN deck with battle winners and negates...yes please.

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

You'd be nuts to forget Joshua and Captain in such a deck, especially if you're running his Faith.

Wasn't forgetting--was just focusing more on the Plague combos. Joshua and Captain likely won't need much Plague support to win battles.  :P

Just a turn of phrase. Moses and Hur (the new best Hero in the game again) can sidle very nicely into a Red/Silver/Green FbtNB-centric offense.

The Dominants will almost always include Son of god, Angel of the lord, Christian martyr, and either New Jerusalem or The second coming. The others are really player choices imo. But this is really an over generalization. Vain Philosophy is the best cheap option imo.
