Aesthetic Upgrades —Jan. 6, 2020
I recently added many of your guy's suggestions to make the deck better, though currently I am considering removing the Emeria Shepherd from the list maybe for Tithe, and I have added some html code to the description to pretty things up on the page! Also if anyone knows how to make the containers that the decks contents in transparent so you can see Nykthos in the background I would greatly appreciate the help!
I honestly forgot to add recruiter. I have a copy but it slipped my mind when making this list. The champion I am unsure of as I have the other soul sisters already. I dont know what I would cut for it.

The champion is almost strictly better than Daxos, Blessed by the Sun . But, he's still good so I don't think you should take him out. The one I think would be good to take out is Palace Sentinels . You're not running the kind of deck that can stay monarch or consistently steal it back. You'll just end up giving somebody else extra draws.

what do you use Planar Birth for if I may ask? does your meta play Armageddon type effects alot or something? I don't see any use for it in the deck unless that is the case. I was searching for another card that might be the reason for running it but I can't find any.

Reverent Hoplite from the new set is also a pretty good late game life gain creature. early game its not very good however, so you need to consider if you want it based on that.

bah, tappedout doesn't let me edit, I meant to say its a pretty good token generator late game, since you gain tokens pr. devotion.

For the moment I think I have enough token generation but the devotion token makes would probably be the first in if I need more.

Triskelion is functionally the same as Walking Ballista for the combo. Though it is more expensive to cast, it is good to add it in for redundancy.

Ranger-Captain of Eos and Ranger of Eos both tutor for ballista as well as soul sisters pieces

Thank you for that suggestion! I will figure out what to remove for those when I have the chance later.

Maybe add Victory's Envoy and Loyal Unicorn . Theyy both add counters to your creatures without needing to gain any life.

I'd cut Equipoise that card isn't very good. It reads better then it actually plays. Crackdown would be a better choice. And it pairs well with Authority of the Consuls type cards.

I should add blind obedience as well if I add crackdown. Thanks for warning me equipoise isnt as good as it sounds!

Yea you should. Extort is a strong Mechanic. Another underproformer in your deck will be Spear of Heliod . I use to think this was really good. Turns out it's not. The +1/+1 will have very little impact on this build. And often times the activated ability on it, you will not have the mana for. Or/and will not be attacked. So cut Spear of Heliod for Blind Obedience Oldcrow80.

I have been feeling that myself but wanted to keep it for flavor. But you are right it needs to go

Last thing. Hero of Bladehold , and Brimaz, King of Oreskos are good creatures. But that's not the cards in question. Its Anointed Procession , this card does absolutely nothing for this deck unless you have one or both of the named cards above. You have enlightened tutor in the deck too but I cant see myself tutor for Anointed Procession over Smothering Tithe or Test of Endurance or any other strong enchantments in the deck. I'd cut Anointed Procession and put back in Ranger of Eos because tutoring for the 2 soul sisters in the deck will always be worth it.

Greater Auramancy is good in a deck with so many high-impact enchantments, including your combo commander. Faith's Shield Razor Barrier , and Devoted Caretaker can guard either half of your combo.

You've got almost all of the soul sisters and similar cards. You still need Auriok Champion . Recruiter of the Guard can get you Walking Ballista for the win.
