rebekah? over sarah? you also might want to add another good genesis female, as a lamented leah wont be that useful at 3/3 (also helps if one gen female gets killed). maybe eve?

First and foremost, if I was to add Magic Charms I would use Writ before anything... I'm not using them because I don't want extra LS.

Second, I thought about Simon, and I may put him in for Naaman's CaH, but Malcus is absolutely amazing IMO.

Third, King Amon is just asking to be destroyed.  Sure he recurs enhancements (if Manasseh is d/c), but with black's absence of cannot be interrupted enhancements, he's floating dead in the water.

True forgot about the lock out portion. For that Why not try Babylon and BBH? You can hide more souls that way.

I use him when it is late and you have one or two enhancements left. He barely gets destroyed but when he does it is after he served his purpose. And for the reason Pol said.

I would recommend a couple things for defense.

You'd be in trouble with the occasional warrior class FBTN deck  because of its use of red. 12fg is good, but i'd add Household Idols. It helps with stupid bands that somehow have the magic color to give them access. Also, I'd use some NT sites if at all possible. If you're stuck with a Set Fire in your territory.. NT sites would be good, and I'd also add the Cov. I am Grace bc of the set fire problem.. also, why wouldn't you use perganum and the color card LS? Purple is only really used for AoCP.. so having a purple NT site would be good. I've found that in late game situations having some FBTN EC's are super helpful.. just to negate the usually low numbered "access to any site" heroes. 

just my 3 cents

The O.T. restriction on Set Fire only applies to Fortresses; it can kill all Sites. Therefore, N.T. Sites don't matter.

I would definitely take out mayhem. The only way I could really see it help you at all is maybe in your first turn. but in any site deck drawing cards after your prep phase is always super dangerous. I would keep danites attack in IMO. The more ways to steal access without having to even get in battle, the better. I would take out goys and hunger both. this deck is ultimately designed to outlast the enemy fire power and walk all over their defense.. so rescuing 6 souls instead of 5 won't be a big deal. I'd also take out hunger. it can kill your guys, or give your opponent tons of initiative
