-4 Mortal's Ardor +4 Ethereal Armor

Mortals Ardor is actually better than ethereal armor even with the enchantment creatures, with instant speed activating heroics mid-battle, plus the only defense is a counter spell, ethereal armor is great but significantly more vulnerable. With ethereal armor, people know what to expect pre-battle, but with more instants, there's much more uncertainty and less risks taken.

Very good point Cheddarlicious. The main reason I didn't include them is because Ravnica is about to rotate out of standard and didn't want to buy them just to use them for a couple months. The instant speed on Mortal's Ardor is a large bonus.

In my honest opinion, I am not sure why Archetype of Courage is here. With Fabled and Iroas being your main damage-dealers, only Iroas is the one that "needs" first strike, which is easily attainable via Ethereal Armor , which you have.

You lack evasion 100%, consider Akroan Skyguard or something similar.

Same kinda goes for Ghostblade Eidolon , 5 cmc for a measly +1/+1 and doublestrike? I'd go Celestial Archon over that any day.

If you have trouble living, Ordeal of Heliod Might be a decent option.

Eidolon of Countless Battles ticks on auras and creatures, which you have a lot of via bestow/not bestowing your enchant creatures, but it just seems too odd/weak to me.

I am not sure of your budget, but Elspeth, Sun's Champion would be a huge influence in this deck. Blows up Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Stormbreath Dragon and Desecration Demon if they're mowing you down, makes creatures for Eidolon of Countless Battles and essentially produces a wincon as well. All 3 of her abilities are useful here.

Gift of Orzhova might be a good idea, although Hopeful Eidolon is probably better.

Overall, I'd do this:

• all of Nyxborn Shieldmate and Ghostblade Eidolon and Archetype of Courage , which will open up 7 slots.

• 4x Celestial Archon 5 for a 4/4 flying first strike is pretty damn good on it's own right now, and 6 to give all of that to something else...pretty much gamewinning right there.

+3 something that gives evasion, which for white is essentially limited to flying/something of your choice.

Excuse me, I made some comments that no longer apply due to the fact that you edited your deck as I was typing :P

Found out I had a Celestial Archon laying around and threw it in. As for the elspeth, aside from being 20$ a copy is very killable at my local FNM. Last time I went there were 4 people running BBD mono-black devotion mirrors. I know she'd get Thoughtsiezed or Hero's Downfall d just after I get the tokens. I MAY sell some old video games and get 1 elspeth from the game shop, however...

But now that you mention it, Xyresic, I don't really see how the Archetype of Courage works....other than shutting down other weenie decks and adding 2 devotion to feed Nykthos. I may sideboard him in case someone is running a similar deck to this.

ok it was i tested it with my white life deck see if it be fast i love it you did a great job hope you get many games

I love the flavor here. Praise the Sun Bro! Have you thought about the additions to this deck with JOU coming out? Like the Sunlight Sword Godsend or Hall of Triumph ?

Wodar - those are VERY solid cards to add. However, I feel that Spear of Heliod does the same thing as Hall of Triumph . If I somehow get my hands on Godsend or multiple copies of it, It will most likely take the spear's spot.

nayaftw - he's hella expensive for my tastes. I'd LOVE to have one, but unless I pull it or get it in a trade, the kitty king probably won't make an appearance here. The only reason Elspeth, Sun's Champion is in here is because I got her in a very fair trade. Her birthing hips will definitely save my bacon someday.

You're playing standard and complaining about price? You do know that it's a lot cheaper to play modern than standard ;)

My motto: "no deck is unbeatable". With that in mind, I make decks to have fun as well as win. The competition is just a plus. Losing sometimes without spending a ton of cash is better to me than spending a ton and being near unbeatable.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent...

Looks like fun. You should add the tag "Soldier" as this seems like a soldier deck.

PremiumCola I didn't even know that was a tag!! I'll do that right away, thanks!

But Brimaz, King of Oreskos !

JexInfinite But $22! For one!

Brimaz, King of Oreskos is super pricey but so worth it, I have a ful playset of him and the Preeminent Captain and its an all star combo.

JaceSeeker cool idea, but I am pretty sure Brimaz does not combo well with Preeminent Captain. As cards that are put into play with Preeminent Captain's ability do not trigger abilities that say when this creature attacks... as they are put into play attacking and thus have already attacked, therefore not activating Brimaz's ability. However, Brimaz is still a very strong card, maybe add 2 or 3 in for more expensive deck builds :)
