Luke...and some Less Friendly Relatives - Please Comment

...because Luke was a Greek...I think. :-\ Anyway, here's the deck; it's currently 63 cards, but I think the strategy would be more solid if it were 56, so I would appreciate cut-back advice:

Offense (Gold/Silver)

Ehud
The Generous Widow
Simeon
The Thankful Leper
Zaccheus
  Battle Prayer
  Convincing Miracle
  Ehud's Dagger
  Furnace of God's Wrath
  Repentance and Restitution
  Sword Against Sword
  The Stars

Angel of the Harvest
Captain of the Host
Gabriel
Strong Angel
  Protection of Angels
  Three Angels

Defense (Black/Gray(/Orange))

Antiochus IV Epiphanes
The Winged Leopard

Greek Philosophers
Greek Scholars
King Amon
Lot's Wife
Manasseh
The Twelve-Fingered Giant
  Abomination of Desolation
  Foolish Advice
  Hunger
  Joseph in Prison
  Net
  Pride of Simon
  Wrath of Satan

Lying Spirit
Syrian Archer
  Balaam's Disobedience
  Gold Shield

Artifacts/Curses

Chariot of Fire
Unholy Writ

Besieged
Captured Ark
Confusion of Mind
Unknown Nation

Fortresses/Sites

House in Bethany
Wall of Protection

Dragon Raid
The Ends of the Earth

Hormah

Dominants

AotL
NJ
SoG

Burial
CM
DoN
FA

Lost Souls

Site Doubler
2-Liner
Female
CBP
Punisher
Shuffler
Exchanger
NT

This deck started out with the concept of using ABom and some Luke Heroes to make my opponent draw cards for some selective territory sniping. Then I found out about the combo of placing Gold Shield on Syrian Archer and banding him to Antiochus for a practically unstoppable kill, and figured, Hey, s'long as I'm using Black for my Greeks, why not throw in Amon & Manasseh to recur Gold Shield? So I kept adding cards, and here I am. I was thinking of putting in Deborah with Judge's Seat for more sniping as well, but I would like to reduce the cards a bit first. So waddaya say, can ya' help me out? ;D

You might consider adding Elizabeth, since she is a Luke hero and can't be captured, although I don't know how much capture you see around there.  We see capture a LOT around here.

You COULD trim out a OT hero or two and use Golden Calf to mess with your opponent's OT heroes.

You might also trim out a couple non-greek ECs and add in another greek.  You can't get A-bom out if you don't have a greek.

You might consider Sword Against Sword to create a side battle so you can play your Abom easier.

I would also use The Strong Angel (wa) instead of Moses you could take advantage of Bryon's suggestion of using Golden Calf.

I'd take out Prince of Greece to add Philosophers.

Those changes look good to me. ;)

Maybe take out Besieged or Unholy Writ to add Golden Calf?

I wouldn't go labeling any of those more powerful than the others. GCow and CoM do almost exactly the same thing, just with different limits.

Deck Updated (forgot to do this earlier)

I still would like to reduce this deck to 56 if possible.
