Is it just me or do you have no orange evil characters to play your orange enhancements.

T2 requires equal good and evil cards and this doesn't look close to the correct ratio
-
Step 1 is to take out 44 cards. Step two is to take out a copy of the Bronze Laver, because you're not allowed to have 4 copies. Step 3 is to add more dominants. Step 4 is to take out Chamber of Angels, because that card is really bad in t2.
Your deck also needs to be faster and needs more tech. A copy of three nails will beat you. A copy of Household Idols will beat you.
There's not really any reason to use Elders over the TGT ladies. The TGT ladies just outclass elders.
You have too much banding. There was a period of about two years where 90% of the battles I won were just because of a large CBN TGT band, so I know how good banding is, but you've overdone it.
-
I don't really know where to start.... I'll try changing my offense into garden girls...... and should I try starting with Assyrians before demons???? I have much more experience with Assyrians.
(the reason I don't have any orange demons is because my RTS when it makes a deck summary never includes the "multi" evil characters into the summary so I end up looking like a fool....)
Thanks

Panic Demons can work, Jordan Alstad used to run a Panic Demon defense. They're just pretty difficult to use, so I'd avoid them for now. I used to use a straight up orange defense which is okay, and Assyrians are good.
-
Update! and question what are some recommended lost souls and I need help on what to cut down to get more doms and Assyrian camps.
Thanks KingLeo 8)

I'd cut down on EEs (The Rabshekah Attacks isn't very good). At least one copy of TGT and Darkness can come out (The Darkness isn't very good in 2p.) If you're worried about CTB I'd sooner add in KOTW than The Darkness. A copy of Assyria's Tribute can come out too, and The New Covenant. A small splash of some other color on offense would be nice (Teal/Gold/and Silver are good with White) to help cover white's weakness, but isn't necessary. You could throw in TSA (which would turn He Is Risen into Blessings) and Angel in the Path, which would also allow you to use Protection of Jerusalem (if I'm thinking of the right card...... REG is down.) Benedictus would be nice too.
On defense, I think all decks should have at least one Uzzah (I would hesitate about adding more though.) If you want to add magicians that'd be cool, but it's certainly not necessary. I'd also throw in a writ to keep your opponent honest.
For arts, I'd consider adding Holy Grail and Blue Tassels. I forget what The New Covenant does, so if that covers your capture protection, forget the tassels. You also want site access.
And you can go up to 105 if you want. 100 vs 105 is really just a matter of preference, I'd avoid 112 though.
Although I haven't played t2 in a while, so this is just my $0.02

Here is a link to my T2 deck, I also use Assyrians but with a z-temple offense. Assyrians (IMO) should focus around Archers+ASA+2k horses+forgotten history and AS+confusion+death of unrighteous, cut everything that doesn't help this (other than uzzah, and I like to throw in a women of snares to make them think twice before attacking or I'll snipe their defense) You could also add in magicians if you wanted, but i found it a tight to fit it into 100 as is. I pair it with z-temple because...its the cards i have :)

Just a heads up Passover hymn is worthless without disciples

Just a heads up Passover hymn is worthless without disciples [or musicians]
FTFY. Although I didn't see any musicians in the deck either
