I was too busy going into shock that Daclock isn't playing speed to notice anything for advice ;)
You might want to consider at least playtesting a marketplace. Marketplace and Creeping Deciever has some potential that I think is worth considering early on in the deck. I'd also switch something, maybe a hero or Axe for Torment. Some more healing might help you keep WISC in play for the ignore ability, or give Creeping Deciever/False Teacher/Philetus 3 lives.

I like judas plot here.
I would like to see more utility on evil that can be used in all those side battles. (wages of sin?great image recursion?)
I would like to see Darius Decree here as well and maybe this card Polarius keeps talking about-Christian Suing Another (Ap)?
Hur?

I think the biggest thing is it needs to be cut to 56. At 63, this deck seems way too slow imo. I would cut these:
Lost Soul
Captured Ark
The Master's Table
Axe
Large Tree
Chorazin
The Woman at the Well
I would then change one of your ECs out for another EE (battle winner).
-
Edited.
*56 Now
*Added Imitating Evil for Recursion
*Switched Chorazin for Marketplace
*Considerably weakened artifact control (removed Captured Ark and Chaldeans)
-
The defense has too much foliage and canines and not enough battle-winning imo.
-
its true, i would like to make a heroless and try to control with more battle winners too
-
More specifically, you only have 2 battle-winners and some recursion (although one of the battle-winners makes itself un-recurable for 6 turns).
-
Add simeon he would be a good add to this deck.
-
Does a defense like this need a lot of battle winners? The Heretics all can make successful blocks. Sites can save me in certain situations as well.
When I get a chance to play the deck a few times I'll feel better answering those questions myself.
CJSports - Who would you put Simeon in for and why?
-
This kind of defense doesn't rely on battle winners, but having only 2 is a bit cocksure.
-
I'd swap Large Tree for Belshazar's Banquet. Torment is also a must for Heretic stall defenses.
I also don't see your offense being able to break through a stacked Herods or Brown defense.
