First Test Prep —Oct. 19, 2017
My first official test of this deck will be at FNM tomorrow. Due to budgetary reasons, I will be borrowing the remaining pieces or purchasing at my LGS, but my odds of being able to trade for Gideon of the Trials seems slim (the guy I know I would ask is out of town for a few weeks).
In the event that I can not get Gideon in time, my plan is to replace him by mainboarding two Aerial Responders, putting 2x Tocatli Honor Guard in the SB. Will post update on whatever ends up happening.

Vidar91 I admit that Tocatli Honor Guard was in my original list, but upon discussion with the (very experienced) judge at my LGS, he advised against. His reasoning, that I can agree with considering local atmosphere, is that it doesn't do anything. Insert Null Rod joke that I made, but not many people have been running anything with ETB triggers at my store. White is the biggest provider of ETB effects, but is also the least played color at my store other than some Approach of the Second Sun decks that don't often rely on creatures anyway.
Don't worry though, the suggestion to put it back is not unconsidered, but I might wait to test a bit without it before judging necessity.

BeaudaciousGiebs if thats your local meta is reasonable. Mine is like 65% energy decks and it would destroy half of them so it was my first tought.

I really like this deck. Maybe consider Tocatli Honor Guard for sideboard?
