A pretty basic deck that has a lot of oomph, I'm just still trying to work out the kinks.

It's a basic mid-range deck. The idea is to stall the game using Nyx-Fleece Ram + Courser of Kruphix to gain a steady amount of life each turn and with their high toughness, they also make very efficient blockers along with Sylvan Caryatid. Voice of Resurgence does... well... what Voice of Resurgence does, making both an effective blocker and giving an edge in the control/mono-black match-up. With the stalling from life-gain, Archangel of Thune was a natural choice for the deck, wrapping everything in a nice bow.

You add in some Planeswalkers, the new Ajani, Mentor of Heroes with Elspeth, Sun's Champion is a disturbing combo, creating 2/2's every turn and Elspeth giving the deck needed protection from big creatures like Hyrda's. The Kiora, the Crashing Wave mixed with Courser of Kruphix is also a rather good combo, giving a good deal of virtual card advantage. And lastly Jace, Architect of Thought + Ajani, Mentor of Heroes allows me to dig 8 cards of my deck per turn, usually drawing out 3+ cards of my choice from those 8.

Lastly, you have my favorite part and personal tech: Ajani, Mentor of Heroes + Sage of Hours is essentially a Lighthouse Chronologist, allowing me to take 2 turns per my opponents 1. But you add in Archangel of Thune and the steady life gain (possibly from having 2 Nyx-Fleece Ram), you gain infinite turns.

So yeah, pretty good but any suggestions would be welcome :)
