Just a usual green-white human weenie build that focuses mainly on offense, utilizing First Strike and Double Strike creatures and the Exalted ability as a temporary offensive boost, boosted further by Rancor that offers Trample to totally maximize the damage output of an attacking human that has First Strike/Double Strike, and there's also removal spells (Selesnya Charm & Fiend Hunter) to counter creature threats and reduce an opponent's chances of blocking an attack. In addition, I also decided to not use Gavony Township here, because real-life FNM experiences back then made me realize that it's more of a liability than an actual help when used in a g/w weenie deck. So I decided to not include it to make my lands more consistent with white and green, for speed purposes. You could say that this is a revamped/improved g/w human weenie build of 2013 when Scars of Mirrodin block rotated out of standard and Innistrad block & M13 were the only ones that were under the Standard format that time.

I'm still not sure about the sideboard though. I included Thalia and Brave the Elements for obvious reasons, while O-Ring is intended for non-creature permanent threats. I also included Divine Offering to sort of counter Tron decks even for a bit. I also felt including Riders of Gavony but there aren't any tribal decks in competitive modern now so I just put it in my maybeboard. I also have Rest in Peace for decks that utilizes the graveyard but I felt like I could live without it lol so it's also on my maybeboard for the meantime. Ultimately my sideboard for this deck is still subject to change, so if you guys have any other better ideas to make my sideboard better, I'm all ears.
