So I finally finished this deck's mainboard and did some playtesting. It does everything I had ever hoped for. My problem right now is giving indestructibility at a cheap cost. I played against a friend's deck yesterday that had a deck full of Anger of the Gods and Mizzium Mortars and would kill my creatures pretty cheaply right as they would come out. I quickly realized that the only way to win was to get to turn 7 and play a fleecemane lion and just react to any of his burns by making it monstrous. I won the game after that, but I don't imagine I will be that lucky ever again.

I am working mostly on the sideboard now. I like what it is at the moment but I would like to replace something with Gods Willing, as it would do more for the deck if I ever needed it. Any and all thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

My humble recommendation would be playing the Witchstalker , a great enchantment carrier and anti-control card.
Also an odd Rogue's Passage to get the damage in late game.
If you want cheaper aggro creatures who become awesome late game blockers take look at Soldier of the Pantheon .
Mistcutter Hydra is a great sideboard card against the U Devotion and control decks.You could get some tips from these deck tech videos from the pro tour, GW Hexproof, GW Aggro and Selesnya Aggro, where they explain each choice for their deck.
I love the Skylasher in the sideboard against Nightveil Specter :)

notan88 I have had witchstalker suggested to me by everyone, and I would run them if I could afford a playset... I am constantly keeping an eye on the price in hopes of grabbing them when they are cheaper. Mistcutter Hydra is also a card that I would add it I could afford it, keeping it in the sideboard against those blue decks. Soldier of the Pantheon is not something I would really want to run in this deck, as I cannot give him Unflinching Courage , which is a huge card in this deck. I like the Rogue's Passage idea, I will run one or two to test them out. Thanks for the comment and the videos!

I like this deck so I checked around and these are some of the creatures that caught my eye.

Gladecover Scout starts with protection and needs evasion.
Suntail Hawk other way around, starts with evasion and needs protection.
Dryad Militant always castable, great aggro and a atleast not negative ability ;)
Experiment One great aggro card but worse Aura carrier since that probably would negate his Evolve.

Another interesting Aura is Gift of Orzhova which would give your deck even more Lifelink and some good evasion. would go well with Gladecover Scout :) If you need more protection Ranger's Guile and Gods Willing are great, maybe as sideboard cards against control.

Other questions for me are the cheapness of Giant Growth versus the flexibility of Selesnya Charm . Do you go full aggro or safe it up with the charm from the start. I think that depends on the Meta where you play, and if you board it in often you just switch I guess, never mind. Also if you go the full 4 Gates that might slow you down, If your devoted to aggro maybe cut 1 or 2 back but that's totally up to you. Will be great when the Scry land show up :D

I'm sorry for the essay but I was bored :) and I hope you get something useful out of this.
