I feel like you're missing one of the best Genesis Heroes for this theme: Dan. Draw 2 or discard from opponent's hand fits the theme of hand control perfectly.

I'm also wondering how the orange works/fits for you. In my GeneRomans deck I use those slots for the NT protect sites (Golgotha, CP, etc.) and I don't use Roman Prison. What's your reasoning behind that choice?

I would also recommend the Fool Lost Soul (since you're Evil Enhancement heavy it can help get rid of annoying Heroes).

Didn't feel that I needed Dan. I think I have enough hand control with what I have, but I could prolly play test him and see what happens.  I can take out the hopper and put him in.  Roman Prison reasoning is hand control and the orange I have in there for two reasons: 1) I can come in with just Beast and not use his banding ability then play Evil Armor when I can and then SSS to remove to protect the Souls 2) Can band Vittles in with Beast to draw X + 2 then play the next grey or orange enhance to win the battle before I win the game on my next turn.  Make sense?

You can never have enough hand control in Genesis Romans, especially free hand control on a Hero/Evil Character.

I will put Dan in and see what happens.  Any other suggestions?
