To slow most of the time. He can't swing until turn 4. On turn 3 he takes mana from Titan's Strength Madcap Skills or Boros Charm

Have you considered any Fall of the Hammer ? I am running a very similar budget deck, and it's one of the coolest cards! Triggers heroic, cheap, instant, takes out a deathtouch creature no problem, and can be used against 2 of your own creatures to trigger heroic on both if they're strong/weak enough. It's a great cheap card, although I suppose if you are more running toward enchantments it's not that great. Sweet deck though!

Have you considered Fencing Ace ? You already have a pretty good board, but I thought it would still be worth mentioning, hes a beast with a few enchantments on him.

nice list; +1. have you tried Revoke Existence in sideboard?

May 7, 2014 4:44 p.m.

Nice deck, kinda like mine. You should look at it. Called Supah-Men.

not bad considering its under $50, but you've got to remember this doesn't compete with anything outside of FNM. Its even too slow against competitive fringe decks.

Thanks for all of the responses guys!Fall of the Hammer will be a maybe board card for if I need removal. it would be a solid turn 3 removal I think.

Fencing Ace isn't to bad, Could take Hero of Iroas or Akroan Skyguard s spot, I may playtest him a little!

Revoke Existence would be an option if i start to face many enchantments

@teamplayerx The deck is budget. You can improve it y adding things like Sacred Foundry and Mana Confluence to speed up mana balancing. It's been play tested vs Mono Black Devotion, Mono Blue Devotion and Gruul Monstours and has decent win rates. VS those decks certain cards carry the games. It is dependent on card draw (but, which game isnt?) add the faster mana base and it performs more reliably.

Have you considered Martial Glory while it's still in Standard? It can trigger Heroic for two targets, including potentially saving one from damage/burn while buffing another offensively.

Love it +1. I ran something like this for a while when Theros was released then I stopped playing standard and moved into modern. It was a really fun deck to play. With the release of Journey into Nyx Akroan Skyguard and Satyr Hoplite pull so much additional weight.

Coordinated assault could do some major damage in this deck.

May 8, 2014 9:36 a.m.

Thanks for the +1's guys!Coordinated Assault is int he SB. I pull it in vs aggro decks or vs control (to ramp stuff faster)

Oh ok I didn't see it there. My bad.

Also righteous charge would be good in this.

May 8, 2014 9:50 a.m.

Righteous Charge doesnt target for heroic affect, but it could be handy

So I suggest dropping Eidolon of Countless Battles and Chained to the Rocks. This kind of deck needs to win by turn 4 or 5, and They're both kind of slow for this deck. Ajani's Presence Is great for heroic and to dodge removal. And adding another Gods Willing does the same, and can make creatures practically unblockable.

Chained to the Rocks is amazing. Leave it in! I might even run the full set mainboard. It's 1 mana removal for anything short of pro white. Additionally, even in the absence of opposing creatures, you can play it out for the sole purpose of improving Ethereal Armor .

reptarjesus says... #19

Oh and I'd drop the Temples and add Sacred Foundry . You don't have time to have lands come in tapped.

May 8, 2014 1:17 p.m.

I agree ckliseIt has won me several games,s tripping a defender on turn 3 to stop them being able to block a Madcap Skills creature

@reptarjesus this is a budget deck. a set of Sacred Foundry cost more then this whole deck does. Ideally it would run 4x them and 4x Mana Confluence . But that's almost double the decks cost in mana cards. Making it no longer budget

May 8, 2014 1:26 p.m.

I would say definitely run, or at least sideboard, either Revoke Existence or Deicide . The reason? Gods.

May 8, 2014 4:25 p.m.

Also, both your mainboard and your sideboard are very white-heavy. I would recommend that you adjust your land ratio.

Any chance you could go into some detail on those wins? I built a deck like this one and am taking it to fnm tomorrow, but I don't know how it'll stand up to my meta.

Phalanx Leader might have a place in this deck

May 8, 2014 6:20 p.m.

@cannon_Spectacle I have a set of Revoke Existence for if I start to see god cards, but I haven't played any yet. So this IS an option for people whom have god's prevalent in their meta. Also mana base has been fixed a little, I forgot that i removed some Red and replaced with white cards so completely forgot tot fix mana base.

@NobleRooster I'll add a blow by blow of my games later, at work atm and I don't have my

@chubbyboy45 I discussed Phalanx Leader earlier. WW is a bit expensive and hard to get out on a budget mana base. If you ran with Sacred Foundry and Mana Confluence it would be worth running as the mana base is more stable
