Heroless Site Lockout

This is an adapted version of a deck that a couple of people urged me to post. I might just use this at North Central regionals, but it always seems to time out, and I'm not sure if it's ready. At first, this deck was 63 cards, but I upped it to 70 because...I think it's more awesome. :P Should I make it 63, or even 56? I would like to get as much advice as possible on it.

70 cards...

1) 11 ECs are borderline for a heroless deck.

2) I would be wary of building a heroless deck based on a brigade that offers no protection fortress.

3) What happens if Saul/Paul gets nicked?  The ECs you have left leave little to serve as seeds for improvising a winning strategy.

4) TAS would be a good add as getting it early in the game gives you another Unknown Nation (basically), and getting it late in the game you can play your brown enhancements on it.

5) A copy of the The Bronze Laver would be a welcome addition, both for helping you get out what you need and speeding up the deck.

6) If you want the deck to draw out faster and you're not married to the word "heroless" you might want to consider adding Joiada, Z's Temple, and Pentecost. Once you get them out it's a double draw.

7) From my experience site-lock does not make a very effective base for heroless of hero-lite decks. The draw is too iffy, and there are too many ways for the offense to generate lost souls, grab sites, etc. Successful site-lock depends almost as much on offensive support as it does on defense.

If you have checked my site ;). Hm I'd add Reach, remove wasting D. I know it sounds silly but besides E.t. what do you have it in for? The deck should lock them out of sites making their ITB draw cards not work (You shouldn't be giving up Init) Also choose 2 colors to use for sites, Your sites are too spread out. Also, have you considered gates of jerusalem?

First of all, Reach is already in there. :-\ Second, WD is in there mainly because if my opponent d/c's my PwD, I still have something to use with Face of Death.

...What?! This is possibly the first time I have been given this advice. I thought it was better to have multiple site colors; that way if they actually use one of the brigades you're using, you aren't completely immobilized, right? ???

This is my regionals deck...so no, I haven't. :D

I meant jordan i.

Thats why I use two. A good site lock can lock all their ls in half of the sites in the deck. Using two colors that are rarely used together (Green/Red Blue/White) makes it so if they use one you have the other.

Ah I see. Hm...

But making them all different colors makes it so that if they have one, you have...all the others. :P

Unless they use multiple brigades.

Update on this deck: took it to regionals...FAILURE. I don't think I'm going to play this deck anymore in real life, because I timed out (and thus lost) in just about every game I played! The problem, my friends, was not me - oh no! I took nice, short turns, just like I was supposed to; my opponents, however, simply could not get with the program! "Hm, so when you play Dungeon of Malchiah on King Zedekiah it can't be negated? ...Can I still interru-?" NO!!! Just go to your Land of Bondage already! ...

...*sigh*...

That is the risk of running such a deck sorry. If you play someone who plays well (Me Vs. Kirk) you usually get some epic games out of heroless.
