This deck seems like it could do pretty well. The offense is solid enough - high on conversion, but still ways to win without it (and to redirect that power against demons if necessary). The Herods don't look bad, either. Also, both offense and defense (and meh arts) work hard to get my opponent's deck size down as low as possible as quick as possible, and when that happens, both offense and defense can take advantage of it in a couple of ways (Specifically Watchful Servant, The Thankful Leper, and Herod Philip II).

The only thing I would really like to have is a good way to get rid of my opponent's sites pre-battle. Not only will Watchful Servant not work against Golgotha, but also there isn't really any site access in this deck. I was thinking of Vengeance of Eternal Fire, which could be awesome, but I have to enter battle in order to use that, so I was a bit cautious to put it in here.

What do you guys think?

Seems like Egyptians + pithom + Given over to Egypt dc's more cards than herods do.  I like the deck though.

That's true, but the point of the deck originally was to make use of HP II. Also, Golgotha does not work on Egyptians, who are sadly OT. Sure, I'd love to use Pithom and Given Over to Egypt, but I'm not sure how well Egyptians would blend...I'll try to tinker with it a little...

EDIT: Alright, how does this sound...

IN
Egyptian Charioteers
Egyptian Warden
Queen Taphenes
Given Over to Egypt
Pithom

OUT
Taking Egypt's Wealth (Ironic)
Herod Antipas
Herodias
Unholy Writ
Golgotha

Pharaoh’s Throne Room will allow you to keep out all the egyptians you want, so TGT guys won't mean anything.  Also if you toss in a Pharaoh, then Zeb and WS will be shut down as well.  I think a lot of people will start the benedictus pre-battle, then ET+AoCp, so even with NT defenses and protect sites, your guys will get nuked.
