The goal is to rush some early exalted and some ramp until I bring out the powerhouse exalted cards (Rafiq of the Many, Finest Hour, and Sublime Archangel)

Ardent Plea is one of the all-stars of the deck. It gives us a stack of exalted and is sure to get another cool card that gives me ramp (Noble Hierarch), control (Qasali Pridemage), or a very solid attacker (Invisible Stalker). Best part is you dont even necessarily need green in the early game. so long as you have a white and blue mana then Ardent Plea can save your ass.

Now, with a fair amount of exalted in the deck I found there was little point to include more aggro in the deck; so, I opted for a bit more control. But I had to make sure that the non-creature spells didnt have a CMC lower than 3 due to Ardent Plea. By doing this you are more consistent in what you fetch with it.

The result? A splendid combo heavy aggro deck with a nice bit of control. This should make the deck more versatile while consistently hitting hard.

Okay so the side board is fairly straight-forward: Heroic Intervention is for board-wipes and spot-removal, Mark of Asylum and Knight of Glory helps helps against Red and Black respectively, Disallow is for pesky permanents with triggered or activated abilities, and Rest in Peace is a card that can be fetched with Ardent Plea for some graveyard hate.

Hope you like it! :)
