Some general notes:

1) The deck leans a little toward the defense, since I've found that the musicians offense tends to play a little slow.

2) I noticed when typing this that the offense is light on enhancements, so that needs work.

3) While Lydia isn't a musician, she's the only NT and the only female hero, so if you think she should be out take that into consideration.

4) My musician/Babylonian decks have been especially crappy against angels and demons, so I'm trying to fix that.

It's open season on this deck!! (And remember, if you make me feel good about this deck I'll play it at Nationals, and even at its best this should be easy pickings for good players.)

I would consider putting in Holy Grail to further help your offence.

There are four other (non-white) colors right now that have musicians-green, purple, red, and gold. I've fooled around with gold and green, but am giving purple a try, mostly to get AoCp in there. I'm open to suggestions, though.

It might be annoying to use green with ANB, though.  ;D
