Hi,
I threw this deck together its disciples and designed to draw fast and has a pharisee/sadducee defense. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to improve it as I'm fairly new to the game. I am open to anything thanks!

I didn't really look at it but I would go straigh pharisees. They are just better.
-
On Defense you are missing Pretention and Baalam's disobedience.

What about a Falling Away or Guardian of your Souls?

The problem is the dom limit though since the hopper doesn't count toward lost soul count there can only be 7 doms. I figured since its supposed to play fast harvest time would be more useful than those two. What would you suggest taking out to put either of those in?

This gives you a couple extra spaces to fill with your own additions (or leave blank to have a slightly smaller deck) and gives you just one color on defense, which is usually a plus. Hope that helps you!

I would saw throw sabbath breakers in there and pull an enhancement out. I would also consider dropping a couple good enhancements like prosperity, and sons of thunder.
Harvest time may be a good play for the speed deck but it can be useless lots of games I would consider guardian to protect the souls you have saved from be Fallen Away.
-
Actually, a better choice, if you have a choice between Guardian and Falling Away, FA is a better choice because there are less people that own FA then Guardian.
-
Oh yeah, it also depends on if your deck is defensive or offensive.
-
I always use GoYS and not FA.
-
FA is statistically better than GoyS if you only use one. If you draw either after your opponent draws the appropriate counter, it's useless, so that's a wash. However, if you have FA and your opponent has no GoyS, you get use out of it, but if you have GoyS and your opponent doesn't have FA, it's still a wasted slot.
