Sweepers theme deck. First and foremost, no Sol Ring cause is banned in my playgroup.

INTERESTING PSINERGIES

Sun Titan + Oblivion Stone = recurrible board wipe

Nevinyrral's Disk + Avacyn, Angel of Hope = repetible one sided board wipe.

We have an small Recruiter of the Guard tutor package: Knight of the White Orchid Solemn Simulacrum and Burnished Hart for ramp, Stoneforge Mystic to get some of the card advantage or protection equipments, and Angel of Invention cause it's a generally good card that allows you to rebuild in a sec, gets you life and helps you winning if you happen to go wide with Elspeth, Sun Champion, Heliod, God of the Sun, Martial Coup or Karn, Scion of Urza tokens.

The deck has an small angel package that goes well with the strategy and Lyra Dawnbringer to help close down games and gain life if needed.

Cast Out is the more questionable card for me and what i could consider take out. It's here cause i wanted a versatile answer a la Oblivion Ring and i like a lot that i can cash it in for a card if i want to. I used to run Forsake the Worldly too but ended up changing it for Return to Dust because of the raw power of the card.

Notice that there are only two mass land destruction cards in the deck: Catastrophe and Fall of the Thran. I didn't want to go too deep in land destruction and so far 2 cards have been more than enough.

Also Descend upon the Sinful cause i think it's good to have some mass exile thing against decks that recurr a lot of stuff or against opponent's avacyns and other stuff that gives indestructible. Tragic Arrogance kinda fills a similar rol.

TO IMPROVE

There isn't a lot of graveyard hate in here. That's because in my playgroup there aren't graveyard decks at the moment, but it's a consideration for future changes. For now there is Angel of Jubilation to hose sacrifice decks and Scavenger Grounds. I've seriously considered put in Rest in Peace cause despite shooting down or graveyard psinergies it's lights out for some decks.

Another improvement is adding any kind of counterspell protection, like Grand Abolisher (tutorable with recruiter), Conqueror's Flail (tutorable with stoneforge mystic) or Defense Grid (all around reliable card).

I have Idyllic Tutor cause i used to run Planar Collapse. After i removed it, i'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. It still has a bunch of nice things to get, including Fall of the Thran which is kind of a wincon.

EXCLUDED CARDS

No ugin cause i didn't want to get more walkers with the immortal sun in the deck and i feel the deck already has plenty answers to all kinds of permanents (also i don't wanna exile any of my stuff if can avoid it because i can recurr it with Sun Titan or Emeria Shepherd).

No Skullclamp cause i think i don't have enough creatures to use it reliably and some of the utility ones are probably dying all the time because of my sweepers, same with artifacts and enchantments. I pick most of the cards thinking of getting value here and now in case i have to sweep the board.

No Gauntlet of Power cause there are several UW players in my meta and i sincerely don't wanna give them any advatange of any kind. And no Extraplanar Lens cause i have 0 snow covered lands and i don't wanna exile my own lands to cast hour of revelation the following turn.
