Theros Release —Sept. 23, 2013

Update: Time to dust off my old Selesnya deck that always seems to get me there for Theros.

Just got done with weekend of Pre-Release events for Theros, this is what I plan on running post rotation, Selesnya always treats me well and I think it's positioned to do good right now. Let me know what you think!

Lol yea your deck is very similar. So some of the things i would stress you think about since i have a lot of experience with this deck:

Farseek is your best friend. Getting stuck on 2 land will kill you and not only will farseek help with that but hitting a white source and/or your second white for silverblade Paladin can make or break you as well.

I want to run 4x Rancor and Selesnya Charm as well but not having a creature to target with either will make it frustrating. I have had 3rancors in hand with a wiped board and not being able to top deck what i need.

Sideboarding Thalia hurts you too.

oh I got it what you could run. Pit Fight has alot of interactions and great with voice of resurgence. Your big guys can out pace many other creatures in a fight. And using it to get a voice token seems like a good removal card for this deck.

my recommendation is Thalia, Guardian of Thraben she counters aggro decks quite nicely and pushes control decks back another turn.

"Match 5: opponent playing w/u control. 2-0. One game he got land screwed and the second game; turn 1 land+Avacyn's Pilgrim go! - turn 2 I played Silverblade Paladin and land and passed - turn 3 land+Sublime Archangel paired with Silverblade Paladin and swung for 4/4 doublestrike no blocks"

If You had Avacyn's Pilgrim , Sublime Archangel and paired Silverblade Paladin , Isn't that attacking paladin 5/5 doublestrike, (not 4/4, because all of them has exalted) or am I wrong?

You probably forgot, that Sublime Archangel has also "exalted", not just "other creatures you contron have exalted." So, when you got 2nd Sublime Archangel and Rancor , attacking paired Archangel should have been 14/11 doublestrike :)
