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.

You could take out Mayhem for Habakkuk. He's nice against phillies.

*inb4TAKEOUTMAYHEMWHAAAAAAAAT??????* Or take out Hopper.

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.

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.

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.
