You don't need Solomon's Temple with Zerubabel's Temple, you can only have 1 of them in play.

Your defense is way too spread out for such a big deck. If you can take it down to 50/56 then it would be fine.

You NEED Covenant with Phinehas, and Covenant with Levi for site access.

And 3-4 of your Teal Enhancments can easily be taken out. Since with Zerubbabel's Temple priests they can't be captured, converted, or removed, they won't be able to do much. And if your Z Temple priest is from the House of Eleazar, then pretty much nothing can happen to them, which can usually win a battle without you having to play anything.

It also needs Haggai.

I'm not necessarily sure about haggai. 50-56 cards in a deck is very effective. Z's temple is a must.
