Sound the Trumpet, Storehouse, Household Idols, Covenant of Salt, Herod Agrippa 1, Gomer, and a LS can come out.

Sound the Trumpet, Storehouse, Household Idols, Covenant of Salt, Herod Agrippa 1, Gomer, and a LS can come out.

Here's why I have them in (just so you can see my reasoning):

Sound The Trumpet: To get rid of a site (though, I know CP would stop it).

Storehouse: This deck used to have three evil brigades (still has two) so I have it in there to save enhancements for brigades I don't have in play.

Household Idols: To make sure no banding chain can go above mine (plus, Herod's Dungeon only captures one person and most my enhancements would only take care of one person).

Covenant Of Salt: To increase all their OT guys by two so there's more of a chance for HD to nab them.

Herod Agrippa 1:  He's a red Herod that can be banded in.  Tiss all

Gomer:  I try to make sure I have enough ways to band across brigades to limit the times I don't have the right peeps for the enhancements in my hand.

Now knowing that (and I tend to like 63 card decks), what should be changed (maybe take HA 1 out for another heretic)?

Ok Herod's are already by far the best defense in the game to stop banding. They have Herod the great and Archeleus to absolutely wreck banding.

I'll check that out when I get home.  I do, however, like the small splash of crimson heritics.  Should I still use them (with some edits) or wait for another deck?

Question: why does job need to get rid of a site?

If you need access, use D raid or P Crown.

No Angel at Shur or IaCreator to pull job out faster? I'd swap Cov of Salt for one of these.

The silver you have in there is meh. You shouldn't have fear of losing your Soggy. Personally, I'd take out the silver all together.

I was mainly thinking of getting rid of some of the new sites.  I did replace it with P Crown, though.

HT Gives me enough caution to have back up in case I do lose Soggy.  As for the other angel, he helps me get my sites out (the angels are there for support (which angels do throughout the Bible ;) )).

I know my EE to EC ratio is somewhat off but don't know what to do about that.

Offense could use Jubilee to recur Job's Overpowered Faith.
