Sideboard Stuff —March 19, 2020
I finally added a sideboard to the deck and moved over some cards that don't see a lot of play. I decided to exchange the two Reverent Hoplites for some Righteousnesses, as I rarely see myself casting the hoplites due to their high costs. I am also sick of spending 5 mana to create 6 tokens and then seeing Storm's Wrath come out the next turn. I do, however, see myself facing opponents with large creatures that my little 2-power Daxos, Blessed by the Sun can't deal with, so I think that this is a well-founded exchange. To the sideboard, I also added Phalanx Tactics for some extra aggression, Nyx Lotus for some extra mana (which will rarely be brought in), Sentinel's Eyes for vigilance and +1/+1 action (not to mention the escape ability), and Karametra's Blessing for some powerful protection from removals as well as a bit of a boost. If anybody has any recommendations or can think of something better for the deck, please feel free to leave a suggestion. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the suggestions stupidmagikarp147, and sorry that I took so long to reply. I was thinking of adding a few of those cards before I made this deck, but I don’t think I’d be playing this deck enough to warrant getting a few cards that are rotating out soon. When stuff gets to historic, I will probably add in the cards, but I don’t think it’d be worth it when Ravnica and War leave standard in a month. That being said, Linden, the Steadfast Queen may find her way into the list. Thanks so much for all of the help!

Try to play Dawn of Hope, the card draw is needed in mono-white. Also try Ajani's Pridemate instead of Hero of the Pride and Linden, the Steadfast Queen for more offensive power with Heliod, and you could look for room for Healer's Hawk for more evasive lifegain.
