Why on earth do you have holy of holies? You'd be FINE against fbtn, wouldn't you? Take that out for unholy writ. Take out gates of Jerusalem for grapes, that hardly helps you. Put in one more battle winner, maybe glittering sword. Then put in Great Faith for another one of your cards.

No Saul!? He's 10/10 with no ability, he's the BEST purple hero for a deck like this. Then, I'd also add the Esther with no special ability and put in royal parade. ;D Also, very creative using ET to get no-ability enhancements... well done.
