Hi there!
A few cards I'd take out for better/stronger alternatives:
-
Shatter the Sky Playing boardwipes main in your aggro deck is very rarely a good idea.
-
Revival / Revenge Both sides of the card are pretty mediocre at best.
-
Blood Curdle The other removal spell, Dire Tactics, is A LOT better, so I'd play the full 4 of those instead.
-
Athreos, Shroud-Veiled He's fun, but really not that good.
-
Syndicate Guildmage, Perimeter Sergeant, Omen of the Sun, Malevolent Noble and Nightsquad Commando are all mainly limited cards, they aren't strong enough for constructed play.
-
Ethereal Absolution It's a neat effect, but if you're going for an aggro deck, you're much better off swapping these for the last 2x Sanctuary Lockdown.
Cards that can be put in instead:
-
Giant Killer It is an early tapping creature, that doubles as removal.
-
Law-Rune Enforcer The "weaker" version of Giant Killer, but his tap ability is significantly better.
-
Tithe Taker A somewhat disruptive creature, that gives you an evasive dude on when he dies.
-
Tomik, Distinguished Advokist His abilities don't matter much, but a 2/3 flier for 2 should be enough to make up for it.
-
Gideon Blackblade He's a human on your turn and he's a very strong play on curve. He can be hard to deal with for control decks, keeps you on board after boardwipes and sometimes gets to snipe their best thing with his -6.
-
Lavabrink Adventurer If you can correctly calculate what to avoid (odd or even), I imagine this guy could be quite annoying to play against.
-
Taranika, Akroan Veteran Once you have some small dudes to pump up, this guy starts to hit for a bunch.
-
Reverent Hoplite If you end up harder on white, this guy could end up putting a bunch of power in play.
-
General Kudro of Drannith This guy does it all in a deck centered around humans. Play all 4.
-
Sunhome Stalwart Will be hard to beat in combat, once you have a couple of Kudro and/or Lockdowns in play. He also beefs up the tokens on attack, which might come in handy.
There is also the possibility of splashing red for cards like Tajic, Legion's Edge, Stormfist Crusader and Judith, the Scourge Diva, but I believe that some combination of the above will definitely make your decks stronger.
Shaving off the top of the curve means you can take out some lands too (around 2-4, depending on how the new list looks).
Good luck brewing.
