T1 Job/Magicians-Demons deck for your amusement

So I took two concepts that intrigued me although I had no idea whatsoever what to do with them and made this deck. It took a while to get it down to 56, and after I did I'm not really happy with it, so I figured I would post it here for (1) some hearty laughs and (2) some badly needed help. I think the defense is not well focused, and surprisingly think I may have too many offensive cards for the concept. (I got nervous and hedged a little.) I'm also not sure about the sites, but they're both useful. I'm also not sure Hopper is needed, since this won't be a fast deck anyway.

looks pretty good. i'd swap Chariots for Davie's Harp. you probably dont need book of Jashar or hopper. Protection of Jerusalem doesnt protect Dust and Ashes so I'd take that out. I'd put in Striking Herod, Protection of Angels, and Gabriel (warriors) or Book of Hozai.

I would find some way to fit a Jacob or Joseph in there. Those guys can really pack a punch.

I considered David's Harp, and am still going back and forth on it.

Striking Herod is in there already.

Why doesn't Protection of Jerusalem protect D&A? I'm using the FooF version, which protects OT fortresses, and D&A is an OT fortress.

I thought about adding a "big" angel originally, so I'll look at that again.

I don't think PoJ protects out of play cards so the default is in play.

That's Correct according to this thread.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about the default.

No problem. Also, Belshazzar's Banquet is better than Deceit of Saphira because it is essentially CBI. Forgotten History is probably one of the best Pale Green battle winners, so I'd take out Corrupted for that. I'd also take Golgotha because you only have 3 NT ECs. Red Dragon can go since you already have PotW for immunity. I'd put in Wandering Spirit and Sinning Hand. Balaam is better than Elymas IMO, so maybe a play a few games and see who works best.
