Are you just looking for advice on what to add, or are you looking for advice for the whole?

Unholy Writ for one. Striking Herod would nice too. I'd also consider CoTH. And Doms.

How do you have Isaiah, Isaiah's Call, and 2 Isaiah angels, but not Razor?  Throw it in there.

That actually wouldn't be a good card in this deck. It only would trigger off of Isaiah thus making it a dead card when drawn with Isaiah.

Would it be worth it to drop Razor for Image of Jealousy? or just drop the deck to 50?

Take out Razor for King Hezekiah. You'll need the deck at 51 with a Plot.

Go with what chronic said.

Striking Herod is a good enhancement. I'd drop Unknown Nation for another artifact that has a better chance of helping you. If you've already drawn Uzzah, Gomer, and Sabbath Breaker (which you should with a deck this fast) it's pretty much a dead card.

King Hezzy is way overrated. The angels with Isaiah should be plenty for him. I would drop Razor though, you'll never get initiative to play it. Two Bears is a better choice since it's an interrupt/win and you don't need Isaiah to use it.

How exactly is having a 9/11 Bulletproof hero worse than a negatable enhancement?

Because he has no support. He's powerless without Isaiah. Two Bears can be used by a variety of characters, giving you more options, which is always better.

I think I may have a tendency to agree on this one. I took out Razor for Two Bears... any suggestions on what to replace Unknown Nation with? I'm considering:

Image of Jealousy- in case I face TGT...
Ezekiel- to be able to recur Wheel w/in a Wheel and have a non-negateable band to Cherubim...
Attending Angel to allow me to search for a needed enhancement and have a NT hero on the board...
Provisions- giving the deck a little more speed and a possible winner...
Search- for obvious reasons...
Holy Grail- *see above...


Any other cards I should consider?

I feel like your offense is scattered all over the place. I'm going to propose a pretty major change, but that's due to my play style. Take out Jacob Buries the Foreign Gods, Consuming Fire, Seraph with a Live Coal, Joseph, Jacob, RTC and Unknown Nation. Add King Hezekiah, King David, King Solomon, Abigail, and add Valley of Salt, Counsel of Abigail, and Pentecost. I'm not too learned on Sam decks, so take this with a grain of salt (or a valley! *ba dum tsst*). It'll speed you up a bit (Sam can use King David for a D2, Pentecost is a D3), and you'll have some solid battle winners, along with a few good heroes and a reason to use Hezzy.

Edit: Consider TToD over Pentecost actually. I meant to mention it and I forgot.

Personally, I really like your offense. The searches and the drawing pretty much guarantee you're going to get something of yours, and then the other pieces fall into place. My current deck is more spread out without the searches and I really haven't had a problem yet.

Image of Jealousy- in case I face TGT...
Ezekiel- to be able to recur Wheel w/in a Wheel and have a non-negateable band to Cherubim...
Attending Angel to allow me to search for a needed enhancement and have a NT hero on the board...

Search or Holy Grail. Probably Holy Grail, just because it'd be good to have another artifact for Uzzah.
