Welcome to the Boards!
Well, let me be the first to recommend that you trim the deck down to between 50-56 cards.  That way, you get to your dominants and important cards faster.  This is what I suggest:
Cards in deck: 70
Lost Souls: 7
   Lost Soul (anti-burial)
   Lost Soul (deck discard)
   Lost Soul (female only)
   Lost Soul (N.T. only)
   Lost Soul (revealer)
   Lost Soul (site doubler)
   Lost Souls (2-line)

Lamb Dominants: 5
   Angel of the Lord
   Grapes of Wrath
   Guardian Of Your Souls
   New Jerusalem
   Son of God

Grim Reaper Dominants: 5

   Christian Martyr
   Destruction of Nehushtan
   Falling Away
   Mayhem

The irony is I've already had this account for two years....  ???

    • Herod's Temple That one was a suggestion from a friend, it and Lampstands can go easily.
    • Raider's Camp Hm...the free extra block from this has been pretty helpful in my playgroup, especially with such powerful offenses running around.
    • Benedictus Not sure...it is unlimited site access with Ethan in play, but odds are I'll draw my Dragon Raid before that.
    • Take as a Slave Agreed.  I already have enough capture with Warden.
    • Joseph Before Pharaoh Probably a good idea, though taking a battle winner out of a support-heavy offense always makes me nervous.
    • Imprisoned So negating Thad, Phineas, and Lampstands isn't valuable enough? ???

    Sorry about being a little fussy.  It's just that I've been playing this deck (or a similar one) for ages.  Thanks again for your comments.   :D

    Imprisoned can't negate Thad, but it can negate phinehas and lampstand? haha sorry like i said, yesterday I was tired and wasnt thinking perfectly.  Yeah keep that.  If you're playing egyptian, you could maybe cut the deck down to 63 instead of 56; you might need the space.  You should probably keep that then. That makes the deck 60.  Then add a soul, lampstand and Herod's Temple and that's 63.
