so what do you think i could use some advice.

Welcome to the boards! One thing I would say is to change your ratio of characters to enhancements. If you draw alot of enhancements but no characters to play them on, it's all for naught. As it is, you have five heroes and 12 enhancements. I would change that to maybe 8:9 or even 9:8. Concerning dominants, you can have as many as the number of souls in your deck, which is seven. I would also look into some of the newer sets, such as priests, Thesarus ex Preteritus, Disciples and Faith of our Fathers.

And i have no clue what type of deck i made.
It looks like you made a deck out of random cards from a somewhat small collection. This will not be a competitive deck. I'm not saying this to put you down or be negative; I'm just trying to give you a realistic perspective. Don't worry though, you can still have fun with it and its not hard to improve the deck. Are you new to the game? What kind of collection or access to new cards do you have? This is important to know when trying to recommend what cards to add.
I completely agree that a 1:1 ratio of characters and enhancements is a good starting point for almost all decks. It is also easier to build with one color for offense and defense. Given your current deck list it looks like you should try to go with just silver for the heros.
The best heros to add for silver are: The Strong Angel, Michael, Gabriel, and The Angel under the Oak. You want to keep Captain of the Host in the deck but you can probably find better heros to replace the others. It would be good to get Chamber of Angels and/or Chariots of Fire.
You also probably need to have more total offense so you should cut some neutral/defensive cards for more offense. This offense could have real trouble getting to 5 souls.
For the defense, if you are sticking with gray then you want to aim for Pharisees, Syrians, or Roman emperors. With the powerful offenses out there, your sites will probably do more to slow down an opponent than your current defense will.
hope that helps and feel free to ask more questions

Are you by chance in the Dayton, Ohio area, cause I know a store that sells Redemption singles at really low prices. 8)
Nevermind...I checked your location on your profile. But the offer still stands. If you give me a list I can give you a sweet deal on the cards you need.

People from the boards can definitely offer you the best value for cards. Buying packs or tins is more fun, but buying singles or card lots will get you the best bang for your buck.
