Your deck is pretty tight overall. The only obvious change I see is that your EEs are missing Seized by Rioters. Just pick an EE to cut for it. All that you have are solid choices but at least half are weaker than SbR.

Thanks Gabe- I was going to add to the introduction that "Gabe helped me build this deck correctly and it was amazing until I decided I Should try some things with it :) " I will add SBR. Something is not clicking right now though with this deck-it's not functioning the way it should (fast and swift) but I can't put my finger on it. Thanks for the advice

A deck with only 7 Heroes isn't usually going to be fast and swift. If that's your aim you should cut some defense to add more offense. Also make sure you have enough Lost Soul generation.

This is just my opinion but splashes of red and/or prophets would work at speeding the deck up. For prophets the addition of Samuel green david and isaiah seem like natural additions character wise. Sam let's you grab your david or purple Saul and band which still would fit your deck well. Sam also can band to Ahimelek. AUTO becomes a consideration for speed then as well.  The green david can use I wanna say royal parade and unified kingdom in purple?? Green david also has access to Bravery of David and david's triumph in red if you want to go a more red route. Isaiah is one I really like for the deck since he protects purple kings just have to get him banded in. King Hezzy is the king I believe that bands him in with his ability. I saw Ahimelek in the deck and red pairs well with the deck as well. If you wanted to go that route I'd recommend Asahel red david and maybe Uriah or Ishmaiah. The red Canaanites make foreign sword amazing for this deck which pairs really well with Phillies. Other than that Bravery of David, david's triumph and ASP make for a really potent enhancement combo for the deck. If you're looking for pure speed help prophets is better. Wwaw, AUTO, Sam and provisions are the main reason I say that. Also I noticed no temple dedication. Could be a nice option for ya. Just my suggestions to explore there is alot of interconnectivity with the cards here just gotta find what you like best and try to fit that within your proffered deck size. Hope I helped some.

Thanks, what is ASP? Since I noticed this deck struggling, I might have to try some suggestions you gave!
