I originally had 5 magis in and was always able to pull water jars by turn 2, but when I do that I have to bump up the deck to 112. Should I put them back in? Also, abe's kid is the bees knees and would like someway to fit that in as well. I know my defense will probably get trampled on by angels, but I have never ran into them with this deck so far. I have played a demon splash defense with this deck and master's table effectively got rid of 2 KOTS and some wandering spirits. When that didn't work, ambush was there for the rescue. Please help me make this deck better cause this deck is really fun to play.

Aside from the Angel weakness, I would say you look like you have too many artifacts. I haven't seen the deck work, but is Hezekiah's Signet Ring really necessary? It looks to me like you will almost always have a better artifact to have active, especially with 2 Nazareths in the deck.
Is there a reason you don't have New Jerusalem Dominant?
You also might want to consider Site Access, I don't think it will be a dominant strategy, but most T2 decks will probably have a few sites that can at the very least get annoying, I would consider and Ends of the Earth or two.
-
Four Good Samaritans and no Kindness? Also, you're missing the best hero in the game. And the second best Gold hero. Gen Widow and Moses.
Cut down on the Watchful Servants. A lot. Two should be enough. As nice as the protection from capture is, there are better heroes.

The reason I put in Hezzy's ring is because I have been beat at two consecutive tournamnets recently because of Abe's Descendant abuse.
If I was running more speed than I might put in NJ but I like using SoG defensively instead of holding one or the other(NJ or SOG) in my hand all game long waiting. I haven't had a problem with site access because I normally end up setting aside 27 cards pretty fast and that often includes many of their sites.
Do you all have any suggestions on how to improve my defense if I run into an angel offense?

The best answer gray has is Bow and Arrow (Kings) on Naaman.

I updated it with some of your suggestion. I still think I should figure out a way to incorporate the magis back in.

water jar turn 2 is sic
what happened to gifts?
I would add magis back in and throw some aocs in there.
