I'd definitely do more heroes.
They capture/remove/whatever your Isaiah and your offense is practically useless.

But isn't that the point of an Isaiah deck? That's like saying a heroless deck needs heroes because if they kill Saul/Paul you're dead.

i could see adding another for backup, but i do have hur and ob's cave to stop capture and isaiah's call and CoF for discard, so im not overly worried about that. what should i take out for a hero and which one?

You could take out Mayhem for Habakkuk. He's nice against phillies.
*inb4TAKEOUTMAYHEMWHAAAAAAAAT??????* Or take out Hopper.
-
With defenses that can't put up to many blocks. You need ALWAYS Heroes have Heros so you can win before they.

I'm not saying you need a billion heroes, but you should have some extras. My brother Nebby's Prided my Isaiah chain and I would have had nothing if I hadn't had some other heroes. I would add Micah, Hosea, and/or Habakkuk.

edit: took out unholy writ and burial for hosea and Habakkuk

Despite both of those being useful Heroes that's two steps in the wrong direction, imo.

Agreed. You need to keep the defensive cards. I would instead take out Harvest Time and Chariots of fire.
-
I'd recommend taking out Hopper before Harvest Time, personally. That way you can Harvest their Hopper or Revealer or w/e to circumvent its ability without them being able to do the same to you (at least in regards to Hopper). Also, you could just make it 56 and then you'd have lots more room for this stuff.
-
edit: unholy writ for harvest time
would still like to get burial back in there, maybe for mayhem? i never seem to use it...
-
Hopper is better than HT imo. Hopper can get a soul out when you're being walled by N.T. and/or Female, hopper speeds your deck up by 1, and hopper can be hit by Shuffler to hop another day. It does have drawbacks, but I find it far more useful than HT.

finally got to playest it, took out a hero for another EC to use protection of J easier
