This deck is the first deck I have built with the new Theros cards. Super bummed that Innistrad went out simply because I loved my Boros aggro deck. However I am seriously loving some of these new cards like Aqueous Form, Fleecemane Lion and others. This deck started out as a Naya deck, went to America, then finally settled on Bant where I finally think I am happy with it. Here are some ideas I had with it.

So best case scenario you would start with a Plains or Temple Garden in hand along with an Elvish Mystic and some other land. That way next turn you could play either Fabled Hero or Loxodon Smiter. Having either of those on turn two would be awesome. However the chances of that happening every time are almost nil so another good starting hand is having Gladecover Scout with a couple of enchantments like Ethereal Armor and Aqueous Form that way you have an unblockable, 3/3 first strike hexproof scrying for you every time it attacks. Also something that has happened quite a few times for me is I am able to beef up my mana dorks and swing away winning the game with something that was supposed to only provide me with mana.

So far, however, the only cards that I have in the deck that contain hexproof are the Gladecover Scout, Alpha Authority and Simic Charm. I would love to be able to make room for Witchstalker however I am at a loss as to what to take out. I am thinking Fabled Hero but I am having a hard time decidingso any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Edit

So I have removed my Elvish Mystics and Loxodon Smiters and added Favored Hoplite and Witchstalker thanks to ChrisHansonBiomancin's advice. I also removed Azorius Charm and increased all my enchantments to 4. Still debating on where to put either Ajani, Caller of the Pride or Hidden strings which is an idea that Serophyl had and to be honest my deck is starting to look more and more like his because his is very well put together.
