FNM —Dec. 29, 2013
So played this on Friday at FNM and it went pretty well. Lost my first match in 3 after winning game 1 then mulliganing down to 5 in both game 2 and 3 and that cost me.
After that I went 6-0 in games to finish at 3-1.
Match 1 was mono blue devotion
Match 2 was Red devotion splash W
Match 3 was a R/G/W ramp
Match 4 was esper
All-in-all VERY happy with how deck played out. Daxos of Meletis actually proved to be a lot better than I thought he would be. Helped me snag an Omenspeaker which then gave me the devotion I needed to turn on Thassa in game 1 match 1
Had a few awesome combos go off, but I think my favorite move happened against Esper Control in game 2 match 4:
Turn 1 - Hopeful Eidolon Turn 2 - Ethereal Armor and another Ethereal Armor ... swung in for 7 lifelink (they had nothing on the field. Turn 3 - Ajani, Caller of the Pride and flying, doublestrike = 14 more damage FTW
I'd say add in the Azorius Charm since you have plenty of evasion, but no removal. The lifelink and card draw from it don't hurt either. Might have to build this myself and play it at FNM. Looks fun. I'd definitely put some Rootborn Defenses in the sideboard though.

Nice addition, I like that. I'm going to add that to my maybe card list. Also, it is fun. I've been having a blast with it. Thanks for the advice!

Ok so what about this, crazy thought ... what if I board out the 4 Soldier of the Pantheon and add in 4x Hopeful Eidolon Crazy boosts Ethereal Armor , I can bestow it on Fabled Hero , and its still agro b/c I could:
Turn 1: play the eidolonsTurn 2: play a ethereal armor on him and a Aqueous Form and swing in for 4 lifelink (or a double ethereal and swing for 7 lifelink on turn 2)
I just feel like he gives me more options than my Soldier of the Pantheon does.
Thoughts?

I would say leave the Soldiers in, because literally every deck plays multi-colored spells, even if it is just Boros Reckoner and Frostburn Weird . Also I didn't even look at your other deck and I agree with how you splashed blue here. The card draw off Bident is awesome, especially with the unblockable/scry off Aqueous Form (now that I look at that... this is nuts!), Thassa is just a house, and Azorius charm is one of the strongest charms to be printed. All in all... +1 from me haha

Thanks strateupjee I really appreciate the feedback! I'll put the Hopeful Eidolon s on the back-burner for now until I can come up with a better way to add them in.

Hey strateupjee, what about removing 2 Precinct Captain s and a Judge's Familiar
Would then be running 2 of each and could run 3 Hopeful Eidolon s

I feel the Captain is just too strong both devotion wise as well as relevant abilities wise to remove. I feel the first thing to remove would be the Familiars, moving them to the sideboard for decks with a lot of instants and sorceries.

Hey strateupjee and brownkidd, what would you think about adding in Daxos of Meletis
I am going to playtest dropping in two of him and removing the Judge's Familiar
Deck is now updated

actually removed the Azorius Charm to side board to make it happen. I forgot that I already bumped the Judge's Familiar for the Hopeful Eidolon s
Northside_Irish says... #1
I was thinking of removing a Judge's Familiar and 1 more card and adding the 2x Azorius Charm to the mainboard.
Would love to hear what you guys think about that and if you would recommend 2 cards to remove for them.
