How can Genesis handle Babylonians?

So I decided a needed a new T2 player to test decks against, and my loving wife was all too willing to give it a go. The problem is, she's REALLY good at it :P (Like I should be surprised given her success in Type 1). One of the main combos that has stopped me from many a Lost Soul is using Joseph before Pharaoh. I usually get the soul I go after initially with this card but next turn the only LS she has in territory is the captured one,  which disappears after she blocks with Ashpenaz and adds her captured characters back to territory...I'd switch to more Compassion of Joseph but it's not a negate...suggestions? Can Genesis just not really handle Babylonians? Especially with Pan active making RTC useless? Also, how useful has Asher been in T2 where most players only have 1 color, maybe 2 with curses or placed enhancements to shuffle in previously used enhancements? Perhaps Genesis is not the right strat for me but I was so happy when I saw Joseph Before Pharaoh, Rachel, and Joseph...

First of all, don't worry about Ashpenaz. He can only convert captured heroes (not captured EC's). So you should be able to rescue all of those souls. Genesis can handle Babylonians (as well as most other defenses) just fine. The only real problem is Babylonian Soldiers, which can get init vs. Joseph. Iron Pan can be discarded by an extra Storehouse/Goshen. Swift Horses can be snatched by Abe's Descendant.

Asher is always useful, most of the time he'll only get one or two cards back, but those are one or two cards that can be retrieved by Answer to Prayer/Numerous as the Stars, so they can be helpful.
Press 1 for more options.
