A Selesnya standard deck that I will update as I play it at events and make changes.

So far:

Won a FNM.

Second at Ravnica Game day.

Fourth at FNM (lost close game in finals)

Went 2-2 when a friend borrowed it.

This deck originally splashed black, but is now pure GW for consistency.

Aggro decks quickly run out of steam against this list with our consistent board improvement and lifegain.

Out most troubling matchup is vs Terminus control, but our sideboard allows us to transition into a very aggressive GW deck to kill them before their finisher, such as Entreat the Angels.

Reanimator decks are easy enough with Rest in Peace in the sideboard, and holding Selesnya Charm to exile their large threat if they ever play it.

Jund is a fair matchup, but we can usually simply overpower their board state. Olivia Voldaren is scary, but you can ideally get them into the position where you threaten lethal attacks continually and prevent them from having spare mana to activate her. A 3/3 flier for 2BR is not that impressive so long as you keep the pressure up.

Played vs:

Esper Tokens 2-0

WGBR Reanimator 2-1

Jund Zombies 2-1

Jund Zombies 1-2

Maybe it's my meta, but aggressive decks seem to be making a resurgence. So, 3x Centaur Healer are back in the maindeck.

Sigarda, Host of Herons was a beast, hexproof flying is amazing in the current meta, especially if we have Gavony Township and maybe Rancor after sideboard.

We trimmed a couple of our singles, namely Entreat the Angels and Collective Blessing.

Rest in Peace is the best sideboard card to have right now. It crushes reanimator, is good vs zombies and UW flash, and can be considered anytime you see Snapcaster Mage, flashback spells, etc, since it doesn't really hurt us to play it.

4 Rancor are now in the side to help us become an aggro deck for when we don't want to go late game. However, I played 3 Garruk, Primal Hunter and might do so again, he was great at dominating the board and maintaining pressure through sweepers.

Pithing Needle is for planeswalkers and Olivia Voldaren, Ray of Revelation is for Detention Sphere and Rancor, but it might get cut.
