I recently tried a Silver/PG deck that's similar to this.  Those two brigades are OK together but they aren't nearly as powerful together as I would have expected.

Here are a few changes you'll want to consider:

Take out Temple of Nisroch for Death of Unrightous.  It combos well with the Archer and Messenger (banded to your opponent's ECs) and it shuffles/resets a Lost Souls with a rescue on it.

You also might want to squeeze in Forgotten History, it's good on it's own but amazing when played off of 2kHorses.  I'd probably cut Assyria Conquers Israel.

Drop Assyria for Burial.  Assyria does little for your deck apart from go well with the theme.  Sargon II with one capture enhancement will rarely ever come up.  Burial on the other hand can make a block on it's own.  More importantly it can discard a half rescued Lost Souls.

Temple Veil only works for humans.  Since you don't have any of those you should take it out for a difference Site access card.

You've got Chamber, you've got Angels, if I don't say it someone else will.  Add I am Holy.  You can afford to cut Unholy Writ since you already have Go Into Captivity.

Take out Captain's Sword for another battle winner.  Protection of Angels would be my first choice.

Those probably aren't the only changes I'd make but it's a good start.

You also might want to squeeze in Forgotten History, it's good on it's own but amazing when played off of 2kHorses.  I'd probably cut Assyria Conquers IsraelNot assyria conquers israel that can d/c Z's temple Pharoahs throne room and storehouse. great combo I'll add that in

Drop Assyria for Burial.  Assyria does little for your deck apart from go well with the theme.  Sargon II with one capture enhancement will rarely ever come up.  Burial on the other hand can make a block on it's own.  More importantly it can discard a half rescued Lost Souls. RR won me over on the no burial so I'll stick with assyria

Temple Veil only works for humans.  Since you don't have any of those you should take it out for a difference Site access card.never realized that I'll change it for NJ(site)

You've got Chamber, you've got Angels, if I don't say it someone else will.  Add I am Holy nah I like being aggressive meaning I need all my heroes.  You can afford to cut Unholy Writ since you already have Go Into Captivity.two captures is better than one

Take out Captain's Sword for another battle winner.  Protection of Angels would be my first choice. Captains sword has saved mike and TSA (I'm using ki version) more than once

Those probably aren't the only changes I'd make but it's a good start.

I'd switch out the 3 liner for a diff ls. As great as the ls is I don't find it that useful without more than one way to shuffle it in. If you switched DOU and Burial into the deck I'd say keep it (Yes I told you to remove burial but I also told you to remove 3 liner :-p )
