First of all you need to cut a Dom. Hopper lost soul doesn't count as deck building requirements and you can't have more dominants that LS's

You're right! I missed that.  Fixed....and I tweaked some others too.  I added Balaam and BD, and RBD.

I played a similar deck a few years ago. The hardest thing to do was get the NT Only LS, but with the new SoG that's not as much of an issue. You could toss in a female musician for the Woman Only. (Miriam and Deborah are both musicians.) Chambers will let you enhance them.

I forgot about that.  Miriam is a prophetess too.  I might be able to throw in Two Bears and Provisions possibly.

If you did that then it might be worth it to add Samuel and King Saul (Brown [and Purple if you want]) so that you have more drawing and King Amaziah fodder.

You do have space for one more more card making it a 57 card deck.IMO I'd go ahead and stick in Moses since he's classified as a musician too. Being able to use CBN enhancements from chamber seems like a nice combo

If he added another card he'd also need another Lost Soul. 56 is the max deck size for 7 Souls.

He's got 56 including the hopper. He can have 7 lost souls with 56 cards and the Hopper LS Would make it 57

Hopper does not count towards LS deck building requirements.  For the purposes of deck building, there are 7 Lost Soul cards in this deck.

To clarify further, the Hopper doesn't count as a Lost Soul for deck building rules, but it is still a card in deck like any other. You have to have 7 other Lost Souls in a 56-card deck but Hopper still counts as one of the 56.
