Well, the idea of the deck certainly isn't original but you do get credit for a few changes.

Lost Soul choice is interesting, color guard isn't necessary because you only have one site which should be used for Site Guard LS and you also have Assyrian Camp against AoC just in case. I'd take that out and put in the Revealer. Harvest Time isn't get to see much use with a lot of decks using Naz but I guess Naz is kinda dwindling so you could use it but I think Grapes would be a better add. As far as offense goes, Daniel is nice, but he's flyin' solo right now so you should take out Habakkuk for Michael (Ki) as well as Split Altar and Habakkuk Stands Watch for Striking Herod and Wheel within a Wheel. Besides that the only thing I see is that you have quite a few good enhancements and some could probably come out to boost your defense. For instance, Eaten by Worms, Wickedness Removed, and Hostility (yes, this is an EE) should come out for Death of Unrighteous, Forgotten History, and another EC or Magic Charms if you want to run magicians. If you want to go straight Assyrians I'd add the Rabshekah, otherwise I'd mix in magicians and take out Assyrian Spoilers and King Tiggy for Damsel and Balaam. In the magicians route, you should take out Assyria Conquers Israel for Divination.
To sum up I'd take out:
Color Guard
Harvest Time
Habakkuk
Split Altar
Habakkuk Stands Watch
Eaten by Worms
Wickedness Removed
Hostility
Assyrian Spoilers (if magicians)
King Tiglath-Pileser III (if magicians)
Assyria Conquers Israel (if magicians)

For:
Revealer
Grapes
Michael
Striking Herod
Wheel within a Wheel
The Rabshekah (if only Assyrians, otherwise Magic Charms)
Death of Unrighteous
Forgotten History
Damsel (if magicians)
Balaam (if magicians)
Divination (if magicians)

I do like the idea of splashing in magicians with the deck. However, there are some cards that you listed that I don't currently have. I'm switching the cards you suggested, but here's the cards you listed I currently do not have.


Wheel within a Wheel
Michael (Ki)
Balaam
Death of Unrighteous

So, I'm adding the Warriors version of Michael instead (I can let this slip, since I'm not running any weapon class enhancements in silver, can I?) Also, I don't have Balaam yet, so far now, I'm using Enchanter instead. (Lame choice. Balaam is definitely better for the deck, but this is the best I could come up with.)

The Warriors version of Michael won't help, since it is not from Daniel thus Daniel can't band to him. Until you get Balaam, I would use any of the following over Enchanter (in order, depending on what you have: Assyrian Archer, King Manasseh, Egyptian Magicians, Astrologers, Chaldeans). If you don't have any of those, then Enchanter might be your best bet.

As for Death of Unrighteous, it shouldn't be too hard to acquire, as it is a Patriarchs rare (one of the most widely available rarities of cards in circulation right now), if you have a playgroup, I'd bet your playgroup leader has several of them. Mike, Balaam and Wheel might be a bit trickier, but I would definitely try to trade for all 3, as they would definitely all help.
