I don't have that card, I will trade you a Buckler for it. Then I think I will take out SoG to make room for it.

Get rid of the lost soul */4, because there is many others you can use, and many heroes in decks aren't all */4. You should include King Amaziah, Valley of Salt, King Saul, and defenestrated, king saul from either kings or warriors, and the rest can be found in tin 25. Possibly book of the covenant, and then two covenants, one that prevents evil characters from being removed from the game, and then possibly I am redemption, and I am patience.
Lots of evil characters, possibly take out a coulple, and also, an Ezekiel offence is not as large, and it will help you recur forest fire and Drawn sword. you have him, but are not able to protect him from capture, conversion, or removal from the game, but with a prophets offence, that would be easy, obidiah's caves.

Thanks. I was trying to stay away from relying to much on protection like Caves since Iron Pan is in, though. That's why I though purple would be better.

If I was playing Sam, I would use a lot more gold and some red. But if you want to use almost solid purple, go ahead.

I agree! Also, I don't see Sam's Edict or Deb's Directive.  Those are almost a must to have if you're playing some Gold.  They are nice battle winners.  I would prolly drop more Purple and go with more Gold.  I would prolly drop Mephib and Jonathan and add Gideon and AUtO.

If your going to use throne of David u have to have OT purple Enhancments and the only one u have listed it UK.

I don't think gold battle winners are needed but but auto, WWW, and live coal are all great cards to add to this deck.

Here is my suggestions from a quick glance

AoCP out for peace treaty
Authority of Peter out for counsel of Abigail
You are the Christ out for valley of salt

Drop Joanthan for King Amaziah 
Drop  Mephibosheth for King Hezekiah
Drop Green David for King David

Drop Chariot of Fire for Isaiah
Drop ark of the covenant for Isaiah's call
Drop holy of holies for Angel Under the Oak
Drop Captured Ark for wheel within a wheel

Straight Drops
Head Quarters at Riblah
Solomon's Temple
Arioch
Ashpenaz
Red Dragon
Going Into Captivity
Gomer
Imitating Evil
Head of Gold (doesn't hit often enough with enough effect to be worth it, yes it's a game changer but be honest with yourself about how often u actually get to use it and have it stick, be honest :-))

Add's
Live Coal
Pentecost (not sure I like it if you really want Iron pan)
If not Pentecost the hopper lost souls to get you to 50.

Looks solid!

Side note, don't forget to make ur your King Saul is warrior class for the Abigail draw and valley of salt.
