Archangel of Thune bench presses the soul sisters.

Ajani's Pridemate for early damage as it gets pumped by the soul sisters.

If you get unlucky with your hand and don't have a Ajani's Pridemate by turn 2, but have at least two soul sisters in play, you can exile one with Path to Exile so that on turn 3 you can play Archangel of Tithes which blocks well and is a good boardlock this early in the game.

Archangel of Tithes as mentioned before is primarily made for boardlocking especially when combined with Brave the Sands.

Archangel of Thune is your win card. It is possible to get one out on turn 4 with the above combo. As long as you have at least one soul sister in play your board should be getting pumped hard every turn. It is very easily possible to have several 10/10s or better by turn five and six.

Knight of Meadowgrain replaced what I originally had here which was Auriok Champion because Auriok was far too passive to be in an aggro deck. Knight of Meadowgrain is a very solid two drop cause it can also proc Ajani's Pridemate's passive while doing damage.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope Iona, Shield of Emeria are in the event that the game goes on much longer than intended and somehow your opponent has shut down your Archangel of Thune s.

Elspeth, Knight-Errant soldier spawn combined with any of the three soul sisters for tons of life, and if Ajani's Pridemate and/or Archangel of Thune are out it's a continuous source of manaless pump. Her ultimate can be used if the game is going on too long to seal a victory against most decks.

Path to Exile for spot removal or if you're in absolute dire need for early mana.

Banisher Priest for exile and attacking double whammy.

Seraph Sanctuary for fast life and quick pumping.

Windbrisk Heights Get your game winners likes Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Iona, Shield of Emeria in on turn 4 if you're lucky.

SIDEBOARD:

I would like suggestions.

NOTES:

In particular I am looking for more cards so I can use this deck in multiplayer as well. On the 1v1 front I definitely like any input on how to improve the deck. I've found a few tricks to get those high drops in early, but more ideas are always welcome.

A serious counter to this deck as mentioned earlier is getting shut down early which can easily be done with burn. Right now Kor Firewalker is the only way I can kinda survive those early turns against the major burn decks and that isn't enough.

Once I get some serious play time down with this deck I'm going to update the sideboard. For now though I'm going to focus on countering spell burn.
