One of your biggest fears will be ASA, who can CBN knock out DnA.  Wall can be a liability with Goliath, but it's not really that useful to you.  Try removing it for the new Belshazzar.

You could always throw in Protection of Jerusalem as an anti-ASA tool.  Logic:  If they are running ASA, then they are running Assyrians.  If they are running Assyrians, then you can wipe out their entire defense with Protection of Jerusalem.  Q.E.D.

Also, without Michael in this deck, I would drop Protection of Angels.  And replace with PoJ.

Does your hand get clogged with all those enhancements?

Goliath is a big-time liability for Job decks, with or without Wall of Protection.  I'd drop Wall for Holy Grail.

PoJ only protects fortresses that are in play.

Protection of Jerusalem is sort of interesting. On one hand, most of the time it's not doing much for me. The protection is really minor, especially if I'm taking out Wall of Protection. It's pretty sweet against Assyrians. But once they play their Siege Army, I'm  too late to save my Dust and Ashes, it'll already be gone. It's interesting, and I'll consider it, but the fact that it's usually useless is sort of a turnoff.

I'm surprised to see so much anti-Wall sentiment. I guess I just feel vulnerable to Gomer and the like when I'm un-Walled.

Thirty Pieces I rarely use, it's mainly an artifact (ha) from when this deck used to have Sadducees and High Places. I could certainly take that out for Holy Grail. Ark of the Covenant will already destroy a Goliath or Siege Army if they use them once (but once is enough for Army!) Holy Grail does keep Goliath in play, though, so that Armor Bearer doesn't just bring him right back.

jmhartz: I like your feedback. Michael may be a good addition to the deck. And you're right that it is occasionally enhancement-heavy. I once had I Am Holy in here, but I didn't like parting with all those cards. I would be happy to replace a card with Michael. (Or re-introduce I Am Holy.)

Belshazzar's Banquet: I already have several one-time or usually-one-time sacrifices (Zimri, False Teacher, Philetus), but the card is certainly good. (Sadly, it's no good in side battles in most cases, since it protects souls from rescue.) Is there something immediately expendable to include that and Belshazzar?

Head of Gold is nice also. I'm wondering what good ideas of cards to remove are, though. Michael, Holy Grail, Belshazzar's Banquet, and King Belshazzar already want to join the deck.

RTSManiac is definitely one person whom I would consider a "Job expert".
