Others will give you more detailed advice, but for Genesis you definitely want to consider Asher (who allows you to recur your Genesis enhancements, especially RTC) and Numerous as the Stars (which I didn't have for a while, but have grown to appreciate immesely).

Any Genesis deck that is missing the following cards...needs more cowbell :)
Asher - for reusing everything Genesis
Levi - for site access and banding
Stone Pillar at Bethel - for getting NJ and AotL or anything else Genesis
Numerous as the Stars - for getting combos like Simeon + Leah faster

I would take out:
Mayhem
Dan
Jacob's Dream
Well Reopened

Quick point:

Since you are running babs, you should defenitly add Head Of Gold.  Not only can it get rid of heroes, but you can use it to get rid of their villains as well :).
