I'd tap that.

Made a huge change to the deck based on suggestions, I still need to get quite a bit of the new cards, mostly the expensive ones.
Dungeon Geists Would be great instead of Claustrophobia. Def recomend Gideon Jura as well.

Village Bell-Ringer Might be useful if you want to tap a whole line of monsters with your Gideon's Lawkeeper and Avacynian Priest. Also, Niblis of the Breath is a much better alternative to Avacynian Priest, especially with all the human decks I've been seeing in standard.

Obvious one, but putting in Seachrome Coast x4 and Glacial Fortress x4 in exchange for 8 basic lands will make this deck even better. Tell me how it works out, it looks really fun to play!

Not sure if it's standard but Curse of Chains would run really nicely in this deck :3

What if they play no creatures? What is your plan VS control decks? Perhaps you can do something in your sideboard to remove creatures for fewer smaller creatures and a few larger ones as well as add in some control? Day of Judgment and Dissipate for example. Also Surgical Extraction can help against control. Obviously not comprehensive but thought I'd share...I tried to build something very similar myself a few months back.

Due Respect would be an interesting card to see thrown in there, especially in combo with Sunblast Angel, on their turn you tap everything and boom all their creatures are out next turn. Also, just an idea as a response to shawning, if you come up against a deck using minimal or no creatures you could sideboard in Spellskite x3 for the Stonehorn Dignitary x3 to deal with control decks as you wittle them down. Surgical Extraction is a must in your sideboard as well.

I would go with a land ratio of 7 Plains: 4 Island. With 4 Seachrome Coast and 4 Glacial Fortress, that comes to about 6 Islands and 10 Plains.

Thanks everyone, I'm actually going to get some Dungeon Geists, Seachrome Coast, Glacial Fortress, and Frost Titans. I'm also thinking of mainboarding some Dissipates and then sideboarding some other controll spells, hopefully Surgical Extractions.

honestly i think frost titan is underplayed. You cant target him with inferno titans without paying 2 and if hes swinging every turn he can keep one creature tapped down indefinitely or he can tap lands.

I'm going to agree with a few posts here: Venser, the Sojourner could definitely be added here to make the control elements of your deck by themselves a thing to be even more greatly feared. He forms a further point of synergy for your cards on top of what they already have: with Stonehorn Dignitary, alone, aggro decks are completely shut down; it also gives a recharge point for your Tumble Magnet, and a reusable board sweeper with Sunblast Angel. Not to mention his ultimate - wooo! Also, Venser gives you more options to explore synergy between your control elements and win conditions, e.g., Frost Titan (which I agree is underplayed) would both be a win-con and (reusable) point of control. On top of that, whatever your win-con, you could eventually think of adding Day of Judgment whilst protecting the win-con with Venser's bounce ability. DoJ might clash with the avenger, but only by trading off with merciless board control.

Regarding your control question... I feel like your explanation is pretty solid for the Negates, but you aren't ALWAYS going to tap everything on the board as you hope you could. Its smart to give yourself a backup plan if necessary, possibly filling in some spots with Vapor Snags to control fairly quick aggro decks so you can get your creature tapping control out on the field. Just a thought.

You could throw in one or two Village Bell-Ringer (one of my favorite Innistrad commons) so you could either get multiple uses out of each tapper, throw in some blockers out of nowhere, or tap all their guys and drop a Bell-Ringer to untap your Gideon's Lawkeepers and such and then drop a Sunblast Angel and wipe their board.

Nice Idea!
This deck will utilized underplayed cards like Gideon's Avenger, Sunblast Angel and Tumble Magnet. Nice to see a new kind of deck.
add:
Seachrome Coast and Glacial Fortress - for mana fixing.
Frost Titan, Dungeon Geists and Gideon Jura
to make this deck more awesome!

I submit Gideon Jura, Venser, the Sojourner, and virtually all of the new DKA spirits for your careful consideration.
