Focus Update —Sept. 17, 2013
This deck needs to be focused on one theme, since the deck started with me wanting to use Fiendslayer Paladin and Path of bravery I will guide it more towards a life gain mono white deck. Less Aggro out the door but more build up later game. Thanks for all the help in the previous builds.

Very creature heavy and very aggressive +1, I forgot about Boros Elite to add him in my deck, Now I will have to find a place for him. Have you play tested it any yet?

Yes I have playtested it a bit, it has gone through a lot of changes since I first started it. It does not have many tricks but it is very consistent, yours is more technical than mine, I like what you have done with the enchantments and playing off the heroic mechanic.

Originally with mine I didn't have Fabled Hero but just threw him in recently just to test him out and he has turned out very well especially when I throw an Ethereal Armor on him and then Gods Willing swinging for big damage. How does Heliod do in this deck? I do at some point want to try a version of white weenie with him in it.

He is also a very new addition. I am enjoying him at the moment since he is a bit easier to put out than an archangel, the vigilance helps a lot in a mucked up board state with too many creatures out on both sides. I am not sure if I will keep him main boarded or not though or just put him in the side.

I really am enjoying Spear of Heliod tho I haven't had it in a hand yet in playtesting with mine. How often have you got his second ability going? or do you use mostly for the +1/+1 army that hits the floor running at your opponent?

I mean I was kind of scared to use it at first, it replaced path of bravery. The second ability is amazing but the fact that you can only have one spear out at a time is a little frustrating. Very bad if you draw it while you have it in hand already, I think it is probably best used when paired up with path of bravery.

Nice. I would do a few things though.
1) With a vast majority of your drops being 1 and 2 I would run less lands than this. I would think 19 or 20 should do it.
3) I would run 4 ofs the better cards and cut some of the crappier ones.

Dryad Militant used to be main boarded but was cut for soldier of the pantheon as graveyard play will be much less of a problem once Innistrad rotates. Care to explain which cards are the crappier ones and which are the better ones?

Have you done much playtesting with Path of Bravery ? In my experience it was kind of awful. Also you might consider putting Gideon, Champion of Justice into a deck like this. A gigantic, indestructible, flying (thank you cavalry pegasus) human dude is kind of scary, and he can end games if things get out of hand with his counters.

I have done some testing with it, I enjoy it at 2 although it is not always online like you said. In an ideal world it is a very good card vs the aggro mirror, the +1 +1 is irrelevant. And vs control dropping it on turn 3 is usually enough build up damage to be able to win, then the life gain is irrelevant. However it has definitely come under fire in this deck and maybe it should be cut to test out other things.
