I've been wanting to try a Prophets deck since Disciples hit, and the Herod defense didn't seem to clash with this as much as it did with my Disciples offense (unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible), so I think I'm gonna give this a try. Would very much like feedback, though.

Basic strategy is to get Gabe and Birth Foretold then alternate rescues with John the Baptist + Birth Foretold protection and Gabe to recur BF.

Currently it has too many cards, but I'm not sure what to take out, or what could/should be swapped.

Herod Antipas discards John the Baptist. 

Seriously, add Mayhem. If you've ever played with that card, you'll see it's worth it.

I've put it in at least one deck before, never actually played it ever, though. Far too situational for my tastes.

Why Burial? I've found it infinitely more useful than Mayhem. *puts on bulletproof vest*

Also, Escape to Egypt + HA2 = CBN battle-winner, why would I take that out?

and if theres 2 or more then archaelus and herod the great step in etc etc herods pwn
