Boom, Geneptians deck.

Why would u run Abel? He's not really good.

So you can drop CotW on him.

@ tripleplayNo3

Take Pol's advice he's got the right idea.

Out: Potiphar and his wife, Pharaoh's Prison, Promised Land, Speed Bump soul, Evil Spirit
In: FbtN soul, Abel, Creation of the World, Journey to Egypt, Blue Tassels, Writ

Boom, Geneptians deck.

Done.

Would it be better to drop it down to 50?

You could drop it to 50 but I think that it's fine at 56. 

Not really. If you play it right you should be able to almost keep pace with Sam, in which case 2 blocks is all you need. The reason I always run Able is that you now have 3 characters to play CotW on as early as possible, which is usually the difference between winning and losing with this deck. I didn't realize you lacked Stone Pillar at Bethel, so you need to take out one card for that (probably Captured Ark as Arts don't really hurt Genesis that much, except Plagued with Diseases and CA can't do anything about that).

To make the deck even more competitive, you could drop Abraham's Servant to Ur, Harvest Time, Writ and one more card you use the least to get down to 52, which is statistically one turn better than 56. Dropping 2 more cards would get you 50, but after that point the loss of power from those 2 extra cards negates the usefulness of less than one extra turn of speed.

KoT is KoT. He can also use Evil Spirit (getting a win over Jacob+Cap, Aaron+Moses, Sam+Saul/David) and Wonders Forgotten (getting a win over Aaron+Moses).
