Hehe, reminds me a little on that one here (https://www.cactusforums.com/type-1-deck-advice/the-exodus-(well-nearly)-ideas-opinions-hints-tips-thoughts-welcome/). ;D

You could also try e.g. Faith of Enoch, "I AM" Has Sent Me, Faith of Moses.
And maybe put in The Destroyer (PoC)
The ignore ones from my version I would no longer recommend since ignore got nerved.

Thanks for the input Reth. Out of the cloud enhancements Faith of Samuel is about the only one I'm considering as it offers some draw and battle winning potential with a little more upside than I am has sent me. The destroyer isnt as good as I'd like as he can only use exodus plagues which isnt many cards.
Some early thoughts I had:
- transfiguration is probably not the best
- probably too many GEs even if half are consistency cards
- draw power may be suspect
- crimson may be worth switching to defensively for the DA cards (Ezekiel then becomes possible)
- tested by fire and storehouse seem like they should be in somwhere
- may be good to have a battle winner to recur with Tabernacle considering transfiguration doubts
- humble soul seems good

Esther the Courageous
What stops you from taking her? Since she is not Exodus?
Regarding the Destroyer. I admit he is not very strong since he has high numbers and is not CBI, but with Death of Firstborn, Plague of Darkness, the new Plague of Boils (LoC) and Plague of Flies (LoC) he has quite some good ammo.
An Moses Stuff brings them out of Reserve every turn. Plague of Blood (and if wanted Plague of Lacusts and Plague of Disease ) lets you do sth. and play the next one.

Deck size. For consistency I tend to try to keep to 50 cards. (Though there is an arguement to be made for 57 card decks)
If more of the plagues were outright battle winners I'd consider him more but as is there are 2 plagues that dont have a good way to recur them that he can play. In a different deck he may be good but I just dont see him here. Especially since theres not much room to support him as is via the deck or reserve. For a bit of perspective I'm not even playing the exodus or Hur which are on color and power exodus themed cards.
Moses friend of god > Aaron(Di) > The Destroyer could be fun in a different deck for play first CBN exodus plagues though.
