I personally think the offense is too large for a 63 card Abomb deck. I would do 63 with more defense than offense. Take out the Soldier and the red brigade and do a tad bit more gold like The Generous Widow and more good opponent draw cards, and add a Hur/Search. I also think you more defensive artifacts, and the Gifts is eh, this deck does not really want to draw but it's nice to make your opponent draw and you as well, but I'd rather have HHI, Writ or HoH active.

Problem is NT gold struggles against the new sites, I was trying to splash a little red for site discard.  Them nasty little sites are every where.

Which only works if they occupy the site, I know if I saw a mono gold NT offense I would just leave CP empty.  Then Gold is up the creek. Red is the only color besides maybe white or Teal that doesn't fear the new sites.

True, and everyone's packing site access anyway.  If you've got Abom up and running, then you can kill a few sites.

Unless they are protected by CP, then not even abom can get them. Man I hate CP.

Why aren't you using Meeting the Messiah, Furnace of God's Wrath, CP, Golgotha, Freedom, Trumpet and the Sword, House in Bethany, UW, Mayhem or Faith as a Mustard Seed?

Because I was building in this at 1:30 or so in the morning and my redemption wires got crossed.  I need to post the updated version of this deck.

But some of these I can answer:

Trumpet and Sword - Meh without a tabby priest in play. 

Golgotha - Ran out of room needs to go in

CP  - same as above

Freedom - without an interrupt very hard to even play

Hosue in Bethany - Ran out of room needs to go in.

Faith as a Mustard Seed - this card is not very useful for site control in my opinion.  Many players in my meta keep CP empty, but I forgot that Faams has other options maybe I will give it a go.

Furnace of God's wrath - meh discard is nice and all but there are better cards for luke john.

Meeting the Messiah - is in the current incarnation

Unholy Writ - ran out of room.

Furnace - helps you deal with demons

Faith - see previous, the site destroying is just and added benefit

Freedom - with Asheal you shouldn't have problems with initiative.......

Take out Battle Cry for Golgotha, Greek scholars for UW,  Vengeance of eternal fire for Furnace  or God's wrath (trust me on this),  Zacheus for Watchful Servant and Spy for CP

What I find useful is only playing with one color so you won't be having problems. Having only one color often helps makes room for other cards in speed decks.

I would follow JSB's deck advice mainly because he PWNED the tourney I was at with a yellow deck.
Retired?

Yeah,
I don't really think they're necessary
