Very nice deck. Scattered and Foreign Wives would make it even stronger.

This deck went 4-0. The first game was 5-4 in a nail biter, the next three went 5-0, 5-0, 5-0.
The goal of this deck was to defend in multiple ways and to make sure that I had many lost souls to rescue while getting SOG and NJ fast.
Game 1: 5-4 The first game was vs a Genesis/Egyptian Deck and I started with a terrible draw. The only hero I had was aaron and I had no green enhancement. He was discarded in my first attempt and my hero's had a hard time rescuing all game. So many gold cards now that cant be negated. He played Sog/NJ early which was good because I knew where I stood. I ended up discarding all his evil characters and he decked allowing me to walk in. But I had to throw down four blocks in a row with Bearing Bad news, uzzah, writ, and tore my first ever plot to save the game.
Game 2: 5-0 One of three games my opponent had Sog in his hand and didnt play it. He played Babylonians and TGT but I got Outpost early and my philistines sniffled everything he wanted to do offensively. I was expecting to use Rachel to get Joseph out but she ended up being more help rescuing the female only lost soul. I banded to Jacob and then angel under oak. Moses then sent Jacob to territory but not Rachel. Search got me the NJ I needed.
Game 3: 5-0 This game was vs the only player I lost to in state and he embarrassed me 5-1 so I didn't feel bad dominating. He played Genesis/Emperors and the versatility of my defense truly came into play. One of my favorite blocks was when Goliath put the anti-withdraw soul under the deck, he battle challenged and captured Goliath to land of bondage. I then buried Goliath to complete the block and got him out next turn with armor bearer. The NT only soul was great in this game as was Hormah. I blocked with the slave and played Sog/NJ with impunity and for good reason, he had falling away and burial in his hand.
Game 4: 5-0 I wanted to win this one without giving up a soul and I knew I was in good shape when I found out he played sites, Isiah and Assyrians. Goliath shut down Isiah time and time again. The only site access I had was Wheel and captain was martyred after I wheeled him, but I had enough brigades to get three rescues. (that and hopper and slave helped) My favorite play was Rachel to Jacob with Ruben's clothes to ignore pale green and get the women lost soul. I knew I had the game won when I blocked with King Zed and asked for initiative. He said yes even though he had sog/NJ in his hand. I played Dungeon/Sog/NJ to win the tournament.

Thanks! I would add scattered now and take out strong angel. Few play the NT soul due to the new Sog, which is why he was in there. I would switch the emperor with the 2/2 grey guy to get more initiative. I don't like Wives all that much. Too much drawing is optional and her numbers are too high to have initiative.
