Okay, here's the thing. I have done everything I can think of to make my deck better. Literally everything. I can't think of any cards off the top of my head to take out or put in to make it any better, but the problem is the only person I really ever play against is SomeKittens and I haven't beaten him since he put together his current deck in November. That's not a joke. There has to be SOMETHING I can do (besides refusing to let him borrow my Goliath anymore ;D ) So here is what is currently in it. Any advice is aprreciated.

Bolded some quick adds on offense. I also think your defense is pretty crappy for the style of deck you are running, but I know that's my opinion and it could work, so I didn't touch it for now. I would try to reduce the deck size (especially on the enhancement side). Chenaiah and Heman also look good in this offense if you want cheaper options.
-
Pretty much everything I have as far as defense goes is going to suck. I'm trying to stop disciples, there really isn't a way to do that right now with any kind of effect so I went with something that could be semi effective when it was small and focused on rushing to rescue souls before he could get Thad rolling (which with boat means about, oh 5 turns -_- )
-
Use black then. Black is so much better against disciples.
-
that's what I was using before...it failed equally
-
Honestly, Id scrap the defense (Defense is overated anyways ;)) go standalone or Phars. Reason you will be much faster and smaller than you are and you only need a couple blocks to beat disciples anyways.
Slave
Uzzah
Gomer
KoT
Sabbath Breaker
Malchus (maybe)
Plot
Torment (maybe)
This D will generate souls and can stall for as long as you need.(which honestly is only a block or 2) This can also drop your deck to 51. (the smaller the better it seems)
For the offense I agree with everything that Alex said.
-
He will need more than one artifact for Uzzah to be useful. I need to try a game against Phars, I haven't faced them yet. (Despite the fact that everyone seems to be using them.)
-
I don't think I have enough Pharasees...
-
You could add outnumbered in place for massacre of innocents.

Right forgot about the 1 artifact...
