There is one I use in a 50 carder with a Genesis offense.  There a lot that could be added in a bigger deck or swapped in based on preference.   King of Tyrus (gold), Wonders Forgotten, and Evil Spirit are cards that would be a nice fit as well.

Don't use Hormah unless you're planning on using the 2-Liner Lost Soul and Burial as well. Additionally, I wouldn't use CP unless you're planning on using Naz as well, but that's a personal choice.

CP does protect his NT humans from discard and capture, and it also protects his Dungeon from everything.

True. However, it's really only protecting half of his defense, and there aren't many site killers that people actively use right now. There's not really anything wrong with using CP, but for me, I can only justify the card slot when I'm running Nazareth (which lately is pretty much always).
