Once I get it, I'd like to fit in RTC, Simeon and Zeb. Other cards that I'd like to find a home are Women as Snares (right now I've got a problem if my opponent pays defense).
I just played a local and found Hidden Treasures and Abe's Kid near useless
-
I would think that Failed Objective or Evil Spirit would be more useful than Moses Kills Egyptian due to being CBI/CBN. But I haven't played any games with the new set, so I'm not sure.
Now that Genesis/Egyptians is so fast... Pithom/Given Over to Egypt could be nice. Don't forget that Pithom can do more than topdeck your opponent - you can also place a good card beneath deck (like Samuel/opponent's Joseph/Isaiah/TGT/etc.).
-
I completely forgot Failed Objective, but I don't have a an Evil Spirit. I like Moses Kills Egyptian, because it's an interrupt.

The problem with interrupts that are not CBN or CBI is that you can now make competitive, fast offenses that have nothing but interrupts for GEs. Take Red/Purple for example. Assuming a balance of the two brigades, you will probably see a combination of David's Triumph/Counsel of Abigail/Bravery of David/Valley of Salt/Foreign Sword/Centurion's Proclamation/Reach of Desperation/Royal Parade (with an ASP recur for the Red ones), making 6-9 or so interrupt + battlewinner GEs. Since Egyptians have so many low ECs, I wouldn't worry about interrupting GEs with a negatable EE; I'd use FO/ES instead. My two cents.
-
abes kid has to have golgotha to recur EE or Curse to make it useful. recurring your wonders forgotten, horsies, or failed objective seems nice although counter intuitive of revealing the bottom card of deck for magicians.

Abe's Kid is probably better in T1 for getting rid of opponents' Horsies than for EE recursion. Horses are one of few things that can beat Joseph. I played a T2 deck yesterday that could have rolled my opponent (had a 4-1 lead at one point) except for his Horsey sitting on his EC in territory with DD active. I'm not sure how popular DD is in T1 (I haven't seen it since the new set released), but it's definitely less of a problem.
-
DD is less popular than CwD, which is somewhat popular.

That's what I've been seeing as well, though CwD comes with a pretty high price in most decks aside from Prophets/Judges.
-
Prophets, Judges, Priests, and White can use it pretty much with impunity.
