So here's my dilemma:

Standard was really aggressive during Innistrad and Return to Ravnica. Casual, Kitchen table Magic is less aggressive, but still faster than normal because of the influence of those cards - they're the first sets for many in our playgroup. How do I slow that down to create a control-ish deck?

A small quantity of life gain may be necessary. Creature swarm as blockers and as offense. Maybe add a bit of immutable blockers ( Mistmeadow Skulk and Souls of the Faultless ). Use Sorin, Lord of Innistrad as both token-maker and pump spell to deal the necessary 20.

I don't want it to be too powerful for the playgroup, but I want it to be capable of handling the following:

Soul Warden, Rancor, Lightning Bolt and/or Lightning Helix, Boros Reckoner, Master of the Feast, Lingering Souls, an early Giant Adephage or other large monster such as Thunderbreak Regent.

Dictate of Heliod — Sept. 20, 2014
Edit

I've added Dictate of Heliod to replace Night's Whisper and played a few games with the change. I find it much more beneficial if I can use a combat trick to get an advantage in the creature battle.

Given that I cannot use Intangible Virtue to make my army larger, I turned to something instant-speed that I can use to create extremely advantageous "Blowout" situations.

I'm unsure if Rousing of Souls is worth considering.
