Needs more Uzzah. Evil Spawn + Bronze Laver + Uzzah = Wyn.

I don't think Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah is a good idea. First of all, you may have overlooked the fact that it negates your own banding, which makes it slightly less helpful. Second, it adds two more brigades, bringing you up to over 3 good brigades; the Punisher Lost Soul could be a huge problem for you.
I never really thought of doing Musicians with Angels before, but since I think you want to keep most of your Hero SA's, I would probably take out Captain and Gathering.
For defense, I think I would add Prince of the Air and Red Dragon, and I might add a Household Idols for Prince of this World. Then you could make your defense a little smaller if you wanted.
You know, why don't you just take a look at my deck (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=13427.0). I've won almost every game I played with it, except for one where I never drew Pergamum, and my opponent kept using Dragon Raid on me.

Transfiguration can't be negated, so Moses and Elijah stay in battle. ::) And I don't think he's really going to fret if he bumps into the Punisher lost soul, he'll just laugh and nicely take it. :-*
About the Angels, that's really just preference. In my opinion it could go either way.
You'd be crazy to add HHI, this would mess up his awesome musician banding chains. ::) Prince of the Air and Red Dragon are not needed, his defense is really, really, really good.
DaClock has a point, Uzzah could be easily added.

For some reason, when I read this thread's title, I was picturing King of Tyrus banding to Geodude.

Everyone needs GOYS

Yeah, but Moses negates the Musician banding is all I'm trying to say.

Well, it takes a long time to get your banding chains out anyway. (Trust me, I know.) Besides, if you wanted, you could use Transfiguration while HHI was up.
Prince of the Air and Red Dragon are not needed, his defense is really, really, really good.
Yes, the defense is good already, but it could be smaller and more efficient.
Everyone needs GOYS
Hm...I don't know, maybe.
-
Hmm, it does need more Uzzah. :D Any ideas on what to take out?
And BubbleBoy, Transfiguration wins me a battle (generally) if it does negate my band, which is what I want it to do. So usually I'll end up haveing around a 18/20 FbtN band going. But I can see what you're getting at.
Gathering + Captain + Mah Beastly Music D00ds = El Pwnage. I have considered taking out the silver completely (except Protection of Angels, obviously) and add in more white with battle winners though. I haven't tried it yet, but I might give it a shot.

Insta-posted. :-X
I had GoYS in there, but didn't have FA, so I switched them considering the Defense is what is important about this deck.
Come to think of it, I really could use HHI, then I could take out the silver and add in some lone white heroes and some nice battle winners. Considering HHI is an Idol, which helps me with Demon Behind the Idol and Worshipping Demons.
And my defense isn't really about the characters, it's mainly about getting rid of their heroes and then possible getting my enhancements back. It also allows me to my defense at the bottom of the deck, and then get it back without having to hold it in my hand.

I wasn't necessarily saying that Transfig was unnecessary; it's just that it adds two more brigades which could easily be used against you. You should put in King Amaziah (with King Shallum) instead; that's only two cards, and it pretty much always wins a battle as well; plus, it's in the brigades you're using.
As for HHI, like you said, it has more purposes than just Prince - it helps your defense in a number of ways.
