Hey, everybody, I've been out of the game for almost two years now and am looking to get back into the game. I still have my old deck and the aid of Thomas Hunter and Asahel24601, but I have no idea what's going on (especially with "reserve").

Well, Disciples aren't too terrible, but you may just want to lean towards Martyrs, Angels, or a Martyr/Disciple mix (as all Disciples except John are Martyrs.) Also Peter (EC) and both John the Revelator (RoJ, White/Green) and John the Apocalypist (RoJ, Purple/Clay) are helpful. Reassuring Angels is a major benefit as well.

As for evil... Babylon/The Harlot is amazing, and Revelation Demons can do some work if mixed with the right defense.

Also, it's probably better to look into the new LS's (Darkness can grab an EC if Opponent plays it or it's drawn and no EC's are in play.), Punisher is very helpful in this format, Dull can grab Evil Characters or Enhancements during battle if Opponent uses a good Draw, Search or Reveal Ability, Humble can make all your cards CBP during battle if your hand is smaller then your Opponent's, Imitate can copy an NT LS's effect, Lawless is a better Revealer, and more. Lots of decks have ways to negate LS's and playing cards that keep from SoG rescuing them is just not worth it now.
They seem pretty lame as fighters maybe we should challenge them to a dance off or a redemption game

Paramos would be pretty awesome to have. That can grab a disciple out of deck, DC, or reserve. The reassuring angels can also exchange for one out of deck or discard.

As long as you're that close to all 12 already, I would probably add Matthias and Disciples of the Lamb.  8)

I'd probably cut Fishing Boat and one of the Pharaoh's Prisons.

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?
