storehouse? then you can have less cards in your hand? I have never done this before but it looks like that would be a good thing to add

Zebulun only works if all your heroes in play are Genesis heroes.  Therefore, you either have to kill off your Zaccheus, or include Kerith Ravine to set him aside while you attack with Zebulun.

Excellent point.  Fixed with Eve.

It won't work. The set-asdies cost you 5 turns, which I think is too much for this deck. Try adding Love of Money in there for Confusion use ASAP.

I'm still thinking about Storehouse.  It can be so easily ruined with fortress destruction now.  Ideally I have decked out and I simply discard what it seems I will not be needing at that point.

Journey to Egypt is only needed if I'm site-locked.  Built on the Rock is only necessarry if I have not been able to get rid of Unholy Writ before the time I start using Zeb.  If they don't activate it, don't have it, or it is gone, none of the other "capture artifacts" bother me, as they must be activated with an EC in battle.  Love of Money is a good idea though.

If it is only necessary to counter one card, you should probably drop both Eve and Built on a Rock for Covenant in Palestine or I am Redemption.

Covenant of Palestine is also tempting me, but it could mess up my own "Capture with Artifacts" strategy.  If it means I give them back their captured heroes after I've decked out anyway I guess its not a terrible idea, depending on what heroes I'm giving back :)  If it's a hero with access to any site I could be in trouble.

Hmm, with 2 heroes, the odds of you drawing your heroes in a timely manner are a little off-balance...  Might I suggest "I am Creator?"

Usually with Zebby you want to draw out your whole deck and be left with maybe 2-3 cards at most in your hand thus making Zebby ignore everything.

If you're worried about having to give back Heroes, use Blue Tassels instead of CoP and run Brass Serpent for CM. Or, include Headquarters at Riblah so you can Discard the people you captured.

I am Redemption only gets your heroes back so the ones you captured are safe.

If Golgotha is a mountain I'm pretty sure someone with faith as a mustard seed could move it... ::)
