I'm sure there are a lot of changes I could make to improve this deck, and that is why I am posting this. Any input would be great. Thanks! :)

I like this. I'd add Spirit as a Dove. CBN if John the Baptist in play...
-
I don't see this offense winning 3 souls.
-
I have to agree with Polarius. Birth foretold can be a nice battle winner in a larger theme, but basing a T1 deck around it just isn't going to work well in my opinion. If Gabriel is at the bottom of your deck, or he dies... the entire offense is destroyed.
Other things,
Protection does not stop opponents from beating you by numbers. As it stands, you don't have much in the way of battle winners OR large numbers. Protection is only really effective if you have some battle winners to back it up.
The only hero in your deck that Deborah's Directive can band to is moses, and he negates it. (DD says "CBN by an evil card.")
-
Help from Heaven could actually be a decent addition to this deck.

Well, it can band to Samson and Isaac as well, can't it? I had it in my mind that it could band in John, too, so that I could have all 3 Birth Foretold heroes in at once for power numbers and ultimate protection, but at second glance I guess it can't do that, so that decreases its usefulness significantly...
I did try to set this up so that Birth Foretold is not the only card that can win souls (PoA, Transfig, Simeon + Captain), but most of what I rely on is banding, so if my opponent can counter that effectively, I'm most likely toast.
I think I'll just scrap this deck. Something like this might work in T2, but I don't think one copy of all the key cards is enough to be considered safe.
But how about the defense? Nobody commented on that. I thought it looked fun, although maybe a bit cookie-cutter.
-
KING MANASSEH.
Actually, maybe not.
I rarely draw him and when I do he doesn't do much...
What could I exchange with him & Gates?
-
i think the deck looks a bit scrawny
-
Due to the new (bad) ruling on "instead," the Elymas chain doesn't work anymore. I don't see this defense blocking more than one or two rescues.

Crap, that's the same ruling that nerfed IAH + Chamber, isn't it? Although if this ruling also made it possible for Judas' Plot to stop SoG/NJ from winning the game at 3 points, I will not complain. I just need to totally change my deck...

Wait, so IaH and Chamber of Angels doesn't work anymore? :'(

NOPE!
