Maybe it's just me, but it seems like you have way too many strategies going on here, lol.

Z's Temple (for one hero?), Luke/John conversion, Heretics, Abom....seems overstuffed.

Z's Temple is for use with Joiada to get back Feast of Trumpets to make him draw when he doesn't have a deck, The Luke/John conversion is for the drawing as well, and the Heretics are the meet of the defense.

Angel of the Lord, Grapes of Wrath. In 99% of decks. Now you're down to 4 EC's. I would add 2 more EC's. Red Dragon/Leviathan to go with a Mid Attack would be solid. Other than that I would add a Unholy Writ and you're good.

I wonder why?

You can take House in Bethany out, maybe for Darius' Decree or Captured Ark. I would maybe drop Judas' Plot for Midianite Attack or Torment.

U have 5 sites but it says there are 6? U have 55 cards right now, not 56...

I could take out House in Bethany but I don't know about Judas' Plot. I forgot to put in Golgotha . Fixed.

That's why I want to keep Judas' Plot. what would you suggest to take out for those?

I would take out:
House of Beth
Hur
The Masters Table

I would also include some way to deal with demons in battle

Add:
Grapes

and leave you with a question- Does Simeon the Zealot stop force draw?

I could do all of those but Hur. For one he adds the needed speed to the deck. And two he can make them draw when they don't have a deck. That's a very good question.

Updated!

I usually find I never get Abomb out until my opponent decks. And yes I have trouble with offense heavy decks particularly DI. Otherwise I use Abomb to get rid of there sites and then the heretics take over when they do attack.

The main problem I see is that you have 6 EC's. 1 of your enhancements kills the EC, and another sets your EC aside for 4 turns. Not including your opponent's Grapes/Aotl you are already low on EC's. I know Sheep's Clothing heals once, but I think you need a tiny bit more. This deck doesn't want to give up lost souls early, because at the end of the game when Abomb is out you should be good, it's setting it up early that wins the game.
