He still gets CBN banding to get around AotL and single character battle winners. I agree though that he doesn't have all that much value in a small defense.

It's your deck so do what you like, but 3 out of 4 Nationals winners agree that it's not worth the card slot. :) Whatever you decide, cutting a dominant for Storehouse is never a good idea.

For the record, having played multiple Zebulun decks and won Nationals with Zebulun based deck, Storehouse is definitely NOT necessary to use him. ;)

Storehouse isn't necessary to use him, but Genesis has never ever been so centralized around it. Genesis doesn't need it, but right now there's no reason not to put it in, especially if you're going for a small amount of evil enhancements. If I say, "should I put Storehouse in my deck?" the answer is generally going to be no. However, with the Dreaming Pharaoh, two Genesis staple cards that search for it, and the added strategy of being able to use it with Zeb and Mayhem, I really don't know how you can continue to declare that it's trash. Any one of these reasons, heck, even any two of them wouldn't be enough for me to put it in, but when it fits together that well with the entire strategy, I consider it a staple in Genesis. It doesn't even slow Genesis down at all. I usually end up searching for it before I draw it (which basically means you're playing a 49 card deck 2/3 of the time), and if you want to use Mayhem mid-game, just throw an enhancement or two in, use it, and pull it out at your leisure.

Im not really cutting a dominate for it, the only one thats not in there is harvest time (or the hopper) and since 2 of my EC become LS and joseph before pharaoh can also gererate a LS (or multiple LS's is recurred), Im not worried about getting LS out (I would like to put the hopper in, but storehouse is more useful, saying i can search for it, it lets me draw, makes mayhem more useful, and helps me use zeb, which is hard with how much this deck draws)

You can put Hopper in as a 51st card.
