should I add magicians or not?

how would one do a magician T2 defense?

If the "one" was me it would look something like this:

Golgotha and Caesarea Philippi for a added protection.

One thing to keep in mind with this defense is that by using so many brigades (Orange, Pale Green and a bit of Crimson) you weaken the effectiveness of TGT. I would add more Gatherings as TSA+TGT Ladies will win battles w/o needing enhancements much of the time. Maybe add Blue Tassels and Peter as Nergalsharezer/Head of Gold and Simon/JiP will be the major roadblocks against such a band. (I suppose if someone was silly enough to use Herods in T2, that would be difficult, but you have other options...)

I noticed you didn't have a DoN. Is it you don't have one, or not enough for this deck?

Artifacts:
Blue Tassels
Chariot of Fire
Household Idols
Holy of Holies- I think you have no problem against btn, I would do more access
Magic Charms x2
Golden Calf
Wash Basin
Holy Grail
Unholy Writ

Heroes:
Warriors Captain - out for Moses
Warriors Angel in the Path x2- I would do Michael angel wars as an intimidation factor, banding from He Is Risen then drop a cbn Striking Herod
Angel of Warning- out for another warriors TSA
Warriors TSA

Salome x2
MMoJ x2

PoC- out for Moses


Good Enhancements:
Gabriel meets Zacharias- out for Transfiguration
Striking Herod-

Blessings
Words of Encouragement- out for Faith in Our High Priest
Magnificat x2- out for Blessings x2
'He is Risen' x4
Consider the Lilies x2
Benedictus

What I did with the offense was made it more streamlined, as well as added in some cbn, some more battle winners, and some more versatility. You have more options now.

How do you plan on getting initiative to play your Forgotten History's, especially x5 of them? I would do Divination x3, and Achan's Sin x2. Take out a Worse than the first
