Old Deck Needs Work (Purple/Crimson)

This is a deck that I scrapped together from an old deck that was outdated after Rock of Ages came out, and the Rock of Ages cards, that I created at Creation '09 last year. I need to slim it down to 56 and add TexP cards to it, so I'd like suggestions on how to go about that. Obviously it's not a perfect deck, and there are some cards that even just glancing at I know will need to go. Thoughts?

I don't see why you need Promised land. Dragon raid doesn't have a limit like PL does.

For your Good Enhancements I would suggest including Testing Solomon's Wisdom, it's not just for n00bs anymore.  It's CBN and get's Name on Name with Solomon.  It's great against the two most common defenders I've seen this year, KoT and Philly Garrison.

There's so much territory destruction against ECs I think you'll wish you had more than 7.  Cut an EE, probably Treachery of Jezebel, to add another EC that can't be targeted easily, like Judas or Leviathan.

Where's Midianite Attack?  That's one of the best crimson EEs.

You're missing two of the standard dominants, Harvest Time and Guardian of Your Souls.  I know a lot of people seem to think you don't need to pack a deck full of them but the decks that place at Nationals every year say differently.

Solomon 9/11 + TSW 3/4 x 2 = 15/19

That beats stand alone KoT or Gomer (TeP) + KoT which are both pretty common blocks in my experience.  Even if it's not played on Solomon it gives enough numbers to King David and King Hiram to beat KoT's defense.
