I'd trade the Blue Tassels for Asher.  Recursion ftw :)

If you add in Asher (which I agree that you should do), I would take out Captain for Benjamin.  Here's my reasoning. 

If you add in Asher you are planning to recur enhancements and maybe Joe if he dies. 

Should you somehow find that you can't use Joe, or don't draw him your enhancements don't work so well.

If you have Ben he can be used to play enhancements instead of Joe quite easily. 

Additionally Captain stops Zebulun, and in a Genesis-lite deck Zeb is giong to be more important than captain because Rachael will probably be used to get Joe out or back. 

I would also recommend bumping you offense up one card to add in OoN, It's one of the more powerful cards in the Genesis arsenal, just add in a 1/1 king on the defense and it's a CBI battle winner on any of your characters.

Why do you not have Forgiveness of Joe in there?

Re-add Captain and Tassels, the latter of which I consider a staple in a Genesis offense, due to their giant exposure to capture otherwise.

Should I take out what I added for them or should I take out something else?

Looks pretty good.  The one change I suggest is switching out RTC for OoN. 

Edit: Covenant with Palestine or Blue Tassels might also be good adds to help stop capture.

Sorry, just straight add them. Genesis isn't really meant to be played quite this small (in my opinion), so you can probably be okay if you add a few cards.

RTC is vastly superior since Joseph can use it CBN.

That's pretty much moot since OoN is CBN on Benjamin too. 

You know I didn't even think of that aspect.   ::)

There are some cases however where OoN would be just as good (if not better) since it's CBI if played pre-block. 

But since RTC is more versatile you might want to go with it instead, even though OoN is my favorite Genesis enhancement...

OoN is good (though I don't use it in my Genesis deck), but it's most useful with Jacob, who also has banding with Captain and RTC, so it's more of a novelty to me.

Thanks for all the advice so far. :)
