The offense is all blue except where noted and the defense is all gold except where noted. Any ideas on tweaking this deck to get it down to at least 56 cards. I want to stick with the theme of the deck, but I am willing to change quite a bit within that theme. I had Laban in the first version of this deck since he is a Genesis evil character and he would give me more options for Pale Green. I also considered putting in Raiders Camp since I plan on doing quite a bit of capturing with Evil Characters hopefully. All of this is up in the air and I seek your wisdom in making this Genesis deck the best it can be. Thanks!

Just remember that 7yoF and 7yoP work against each other, i.e. 7yoF negates the draw ability of 7yoP.

Otherwise, I mostly agree with CJSports suggestions, except that you should definitely keep Storehouse. The easier it is for TDP to draw, the better off you'll be. Banks of the Nile is a fairly pointless card, you have PTR and 7yoF (if you keep it) to get around Miriam, and Banks of the Nile requires you to give up a LS. I wouldn't use Go into Captivity, since you only use one WC EC. Abraham's Descendant is too good not to use.

Do not take out Creation of the World, and I would add Abel, a green Genesis hero. If you get CotW and either Joseph or Abel early enough, it's essentially game over.

Wrath of Satan

So? WoS is always a threat. I shouldn't ever have more than a few heroes out late game lest they pull Wrath of Satan? It's still an amazing play.

But the Professor agreed with me so how can you say I gave bad advice. You might want to rethink your logic.
