This deck seems scattered. It's fairly difficult to pull off the right character with the right battlewinner. I'd add some more search, like Angel w/
seekret name!
and Wheel Within a Wheel to make sure you get the right characters out.
Also, how the heck does RTS get "White Covenant" from Captured Ark?

What should I take out for those cards?

I've been wondering that for a while myself... RTS also has Teal listed under multi color.
-
Yeah, but that's because Teal was made after RTS, and so the didn't have another slot.
I'd take out the splash of your choice.

The curse card type didn't exist when RTS was created and thus had to be crammed into white covenants. Teal as a brigade was not written into the program either so it became multi color. And yes I know SK said that...

still it's kind of amusing...
anyway, I'll probably take out the teal, but Zeal & access to pentecost was really tempting.
-
Yeah, Teal doesn't work as a splash in these decks. It's much better as a full brigade. You've still got four purple brigade heroes with Pentecost access.

This is similar to a deck I was working on today. Combining your ideas with mine, I would suggest:
Total Cards: 52 (if you can fit in Urim and Thummim, that'd be awesome)
Lost Souls: 8
Female
NT or Shut Door
2 Liner
Shuffler
Exchanger
Revealer
First Round
Hopper
Dominants: 10 (You'll be drawing too fast to have Burial be of much use)
Angel of the Lord
Guardian
New Jerusalem
Son of God
Harvest Time
Grapes of Wrath
Christian Martyr
Mayhem
DoN
Falling Away
Sites: 1
Dragon Raid
Artifacts: 2
Chariot of Fire
Lampstand
Fortresses: 1
Z's Temple
Heroes: 12 (Isaiah/Hezzy won't help that much...)
Samuel
Gideon
Moses
Angel Under the Oak
Abiathar
Joshua the High Priest
Aaron
Thomas (two ITB/Discard)
King Amaziah
Abigail (King Saul acceptable, but you'll want him on defense to CTB with King Amazing, and Abigail will draw more in the long run, as well as stop Uzzah)
David (red)
Ahimilek
Good Enhancements: 12 (Provisions needs a EC to choose, which you don't have, and Unified Kingdom needs inish [it interrupts forts, not the battle], and Reach/AoCP is boss)
Reach
AoCP
Valley of Salt
Zeal
Samuel’s Edict
Ehud's Dagger (Great against KoT)
Deborah's Directive
A Soldier's Prayer
Bravery of David
Cousel of Abigail
Pentecost
First Fruits
Evil Characters: 5
Gomer
Uzzah
King Saul
KoT
The Amalekite’s Slave
Evil Enhancements: 1
Haman’s Plot

Good ideas. I don't think Aaron will do much though, because he only has access to one battle winner. I'm thinking maybe Ehud or Melchizedeck instead. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to test it over Christmas Break.

Aaron + Moses is pretty hard to stop, especially with Ehud's Dagger to back in up. He shouldn't be playing Zeal, but can be nice to play the feasts on. Melch is great too though.
-
Eli's Sound advice would be a good add as well.
-
ahh didn't see Moses in there. And is Lampstand really worth the space?
-
That's up to you. If you drop Z's Temple, Lampy, Chariot, and Joshua, add Phineas, Brass Serpent, Eli's Sound Advice, and Urim and Thummim.

I was thinking dropping Ztemp & Lampy for Writ and maybe U & T. I've never really used Lampstand though, so I'll probably try it out.
-
If you drop Z's Temple, use Phineas instead of Joshua. The protection and bigger numbers are much better than being immune to pale green.

updated with some of Ring Wraith's suggestions.
-
It is so spread out. For 1 ( or 2 but he negates them) hero you have 3 GE that seems to many.

You're forgetting about Samuel.
In my version of the deck, I ended up dropping Debby's Directive for Eli's Sound Advice, and Ahimilek for Asahel. Tested it out a few times against RLKs last night and it seemed to work well. It's about as "spread out" as old school speed, which worked like a charm then and still does.

I'm thinking of replacing Ahimelek with Ismaiah for extra drawing. Ashael has proven to be useful in my other decks though :scratch:. Any other comments/suggestions?
-
The problem with that is Ishmaiah doesn't have anybody to band to him, so he only draws one card. Asahel can CTB and band to quite a few heroes (such as King Amaziah...pretty sweet combo...Phineas is also nice for the protection and Zeal option).
I don't really have any other suggestions though. Take this and run with it. My version has a few differences, but it performed pretty well today. Probably because I was wearing my Que shirt. There was only one game that it was a little bit slow on (and it shouldn't have been...First turn: I Harvest Timed the Shuffler, rescued, he plays SoG (RLK...I don't think he has NJ?), I play Falling Away so that he has a soul to rescue so I can block with Ammy Slave. He rescues Jashobeam, I use Ammy Slave and grab Gomer, band to KoT, and he drops Axe, Abishai's Spear, and Jashobeam's Spear...it took awhile before I could recover from that...)
-
ahh- the good ol' days. I remember my first deck was red/brown.
