Some of the main things I am trying to get to would be down to around 50 cards. The deck plays behind the battle. At first I did not have gifts in and it drew really slow. once I put gifts in it allowed the deck to draw faster and get the place cards out sooner. I have played the deck a few times and when I get the cards out it really is a discarding powerhouse. The defense is the doms and the discard power.

You should probably put it another character for Provisions to be played on or at least put in Raising of Lazarus (another Multi good enhancement which is nice) so that you can get Hur back if he's discarded. Another option would be to put in Samuel and Feast of Trumpets. This would allow for another hero for Provisions as well as getting your opponent to draw for Abomb and can also help you draw if you have Gifts up. A couple defensive cards you could put in would be Lies (get your Gen Widow to attack if you have RBD up or your Hur if you have Nazareth) and a long shot but Joseph's Brothers' Scheme to essentially do the same thing as Lies.

I would add Wash Basin and try to work a Vain Philosophy in there. If you do add Wash Basin then I would add Escape to Egypt (combos well with High Places and Wash Basin).

While I agree that VP should be in almost every deck at this point, I'm just curious how it and Escape to Egypt combo well with Wash Basin.

If you play Escape to Egypt off of High Places, then opponent has to put a good dominant beneath deck. Wash Basin puts it on top of their deck, and Given over to Egypt takes it out. I know it's a little complicated, but when you already have all the other pieces anyway and the cards fit also, I definitely think its worth it. It works too with VP.
