Chamber of the Angels could go for Chariots of Fire. Also no Burial or Grapes?

Im wondering a few things that you got in there.
1. Why is the deck at 53? imo bump it up to 56
2. I somewhat understand why you have Naz but why Hezy Sig Ring? Imo dump both of those for more defense cards.
Just learned why those are in there :p
The key to anti meta is Defense Defense Defense. The more defense you have the better chances you have of winning.
The key to your offense is protection of said no sa characters and CBN enhans. Imo keep the offense as small as possible due you only needing a few cards + CBN battle winners)
Out
Hez. Ring
Naz.
Chamber. (Davids Harp is far better for getting back Gideon or Angel Under the Oak.)
Debs Directive
Plauge O' Flies
Izban (all your enhans are CBN anyways ::))
In
Samson's 5/1 Super Enhans
Birth Fortold
I am Redemption
Chariots
Davids Harp
add 4 evil cards
Imo something like this will work much more efficiently for you if you play it right. With the changes that offense will be very close to what I ran during playtesting which won far more games then it lost.
Also Balanced decks are not Anti Meta decks :p You are making a Balanced deck with anti meta cards. Please dont get the two confused.

For the sake of fairness, you should post such a statement in several other topics in this forum. ;)

If you're trying to do anti-meta, it's probably failing because you're using Assyrians. Magicians with Assyrian support are great anti-meta, but straight Assyrians are really only at home with an Isaiah offense.

It is at 53 because I built it quickly and had to go play a game shortly after. I wasn't sure whether to go up or down. 56 sounds good to me.

I would like to keep Nazzy and/or HSR. Based on your previous edit do you think I should still remove them? Why out Plague of Flies? It was a nasty surprise for my opponent who was running a smaller defense. Also If I leave Nazzy and HSR I have doubts about Birth Foretold.

I know a balanced decks are not inherently anti-meta. But I kept hearing whispers about a "balance" deck that was balanced and anti-meta. I did not know what that deck was running for Offense and Defense since I feel awkward asking people for deck lists, I tried making my own.

I don't think I like how Pale green is working in here, any suggestions for a replacement defense?

Bump
After further testing I have found this defense to be absolutely terrible. I am thinking of switching to Magicians but I have never played them before. Any suggestions on a good magicians defense?

Maybe something like this...
Magic Charms
Astrologers
Chaldeans
King Manasseh
Egyptian Magicians
Damsel w/ Spirit of Divination
User of Curious Arts
Balaam
Uzzah maybe
Invoking Terror
Death of Unrighteous
Divination
2K Horsies
Belshazzar's Banquet
Sinning Hand
Destructive Sin to take of of tgt
Forgotten History
Magicians Snakes
Achan's Sin
Some of these cards are already in there. There a lot of options with Magicians because almost of them are dual-brigade. This is an just idea.
