Sideboard Update —Oct. 20, 2018
Damping Sphere replaced Return to the Ranks. 3x Eerie Interlude has proven to be enough sideboard slots dedicated to control and with 36 creatures, Return to the Ranks seemed unnecessary. Damping Sphere provides more defense against Storm and Tron which were becoming more popular in my local meta.

Why dotbyou run Serra Ascendant in your deck? 1 mana 5/5 flyer with lifelink isnt bad ;)

McJakub, Serra Ascendant is a very good card, however, because I play this deck very aggressively, I found I wasn't able to stay above 30 life long enough to keep Serra Ascendant turned on. Also, its a lightning rod for removal and because was usually destroyed before I was able to impact my opponent's life total.

Honestly I dont think gavony township is worth it. It makes your manabase much more inconsistent. 20 plains would be a pretty good mana base. (deck thining with fetchlands doesnt really work fetchpands shouldnt be played for this purpose. In addition you dont really want to thin your deck at all because you want to cast 3 and 4 drops)

No Archangel of Thune? Even as a one of, it would synergize well with your counters theme (and is a beast of a finisher)

Excellent. I would just remove Metallic Mimic as I think its too slow, a horrible topdeck, and have no direct impact when arriving

Hey, since you're listed as the community guru on Soul Sisters, what are your thoughts on the new 1 cost gain life enchantment: Ajani's Welcome ?

Serra_Sentinel thanks for the question. Ajani's Welcome has the benefit of being an enchantment, making it harder to remove from the battlefield. In a control heavy meta, it seems good. However, it has the downside of only gaining life for creatures under your control. I prefer to play this deck very aggressively so having more creatures to attack with seems better for my play style.

darleen Thanks for the response! I just saw the card and wanted to get someone's insight who's had more experience with the deck than I do. Cheers!

Odric, Lunarch Marshal I carry 1 in my deck now. Combos really nicely to give that flight when you really need it and do not have counters or time to get them. OR with auriok for the red/black protection.
