Abe's Servant to Ur is a good card in combo with the Simeon/Levi band.

I would also agree with 3-liner about adding Asher. He makes Bethel better

Out:
Defense
Originality

Speed

Now you have a good multiplayer deck.

Humor aside, does blue even have any speed?  And how much would you recommend reducing my defense by?

he's not being humorous. he's serious. this deck won't work in Multi. besides, who plays Multi anyway? Blue has Book of Hozai and Book of Jasher, but that's definitely not enough. also, you'll NEVER get inish with Joseph and Enoch.

reduce it about by ten...

I am pretty sure he was joking when he said remove the originality.  I know it needs to shrink, but what should I take out, or sub?  I am gonna swap Reuben for Asher, Who else should I exchange, and what do you guys think would work best on Defense?

Actually, I am pretty sure he wasn't joking. Most serious players agree that T1-MP is dominated by speed decks, which have become rather formulaic. Original ideas will get owned by a standard Speed deck in T1-MP. It's just a fact of life.

I don't think a pure Genesis deck can cut it - If you want to break the mold I suggest you splash in a second color - I'm thinking purple. Here's what I've got so far:

Blue Heroes: 8
   Asher
   Benjamin
   Claudia
   Jacob
   Judah
   Leah
   Levi
   Simeon

Purple Heroes: 2
   Ethiopian Treasurer
   King David

Multi-Color Hero Enhancements: 1
   Coat of Many Colors

Blue Hero Enhancements: 7
   Abraham's Servant to Ur
   Answer to Prayer
   Book of Hozai
   Book of Jashar
   Jacob Buries the Foreign gods
   Journey to Egypt
   Reuben's Torn Clothes

Purple Hero Enhancements: 2
   Authority of Christ
   Reach of Desperation
            Unified Kingdom

Still have the strong Gen theme, with speed, searching and the play first of Cluadia ET, I waffled on King David, but decided you needed a second Purple hero. I just decided to include Unified Kingdom too, you can play if off ET after drawing to bring in Jacob to play RTC or use it to pull in an opponents banding chain.

I thougt about it, but it doesn't continue the play next chain, additionally I wanted to keep it around the same number of cards as the origional offence.

Benjamin+Coat+AocP is one of the most devestating and unexpected combo's around. Also he only has 2 Purple heroes with which to play 3 purple enhancements, I felt it was useful. He could also include Melchizedek (A purple or purple/teal) Genesis hero to then play Coat+Blue Gen enhancements.

Tahnks for all the advice guys, I will be posting an update soon.

make sure you put faithful servant in Smiley

that card is a little to expensive for me to acquire, seeing as I can't find it for under $50 and to me no single card is worth that much.

Ah, yes but the question is who did you trade with, you can find people who will trade crazy in your favor (Roy, Bill etc)
