M15 Game Day —Aug. 9, 2014

Got 9th today. The deck needed some adjustments for more consistency, so I mainboarded Lagonna-Band Trailblazer in place of Battlewise Hoplite. That should make it easier to put on pressure without taxing my mana base too much, since keeping mana open to play protection spells is vital.

I like the idea of Divine Favor , but it seems like a less specialized Ordeal of Heliod . 10 extra life has won me a lot of games, Id take that over a +2/+4 and 3 life, as weird as that sounds.

And I see what you mean about Ordeal of Heliod it won me a game and helps race other aggro decks :) (although card draw is HUGE too, especially paired with the scry this deck has, I can fish for what I need)

So I have updated the deck and sideboard after playtesting, let me know what you think. 2nd/20 isn't too bad :)

what about banishing light?

Banishing Light is a good card, but I haven't needed any removal in my meta so far. With this deck's evasion I usually can scoot around anything that causes me trouble. It may have use for Kiora, though. I may add it once Khans comes if there's any bigger threats

if you can get some green hexproof cards in there it would make it a lot better

I like hexproof. I used to run naya hexproof in standard, until I made this deck. Trust me when I say this deck is a lot faster than my hexproof deck (because heroic) and more reliable. Being susceptible to removal is bad, but that's just something a pilot of this deck has to play around, being smart about using anti removal cards and not playing all your enchantments on the same creature at once.

I'm wondering about perhaps modifying your list by exchanging Favored Hoplite for Phalanx Leader and including Launch the Fleet to both activate multiple Heroics for cheap and fill up the battlefield. Thoughts?

I actually made a deck centered around Phalanx Leader here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-dreamy-weenie-post-rotation/

The problem in my deck I have here is the I made it with a voltron strategy in mind, so I usually only have one or two creatures out, so that reduces his efficiency. Also, from playtesting with him in an earlier two color deck WW is hard to cast and usually you want to keep a white untapped for defense. Additionally, Favored Hoplite is a great one drop to play aggressively as he kills most other one drops while having a bigger toughness, and threatens to get bigger/invincible at any time.

If you want to try him I would probably take out Fabled Hero and some enchantments for Launch the Fleet

Have you looked at Ephara's Enlightenment ? It's a great reusable Heroic trigger that fits your colors perfectly.

Ephara's Enlightenment would be used in my deck, but i get evasion from Aqueous Form and Stratus Walk , and they both are cheaper and have abilities I like more than Ephara's Enlightenment .
