This is basically a deck somewhere in between GW Tokens and 4-color Rites.

Pious Evangel replaces the Zulaport Cutthroat in the combo to allow the deck to be just 2 colors as well as incidentally gain life. Not having so many painlands makes the match up better vs aggressive decks.

It either wins through Ormendahl or through the Displacer/Brood Monitor combo. This deck is at least tier 2 if not tier 1.

Bring in the 4 eerie interludes for a brood monitor, loam dryad, Thraben inspector, and elvish visonary if your opponent will have multiple sweepers post board. In some more grindy matchups I can see Tireless Tracker or Den Protector being better than Thraben Inspector. And other ones where you want to upgrade Elvish Visionaries to better blocking Sylvan Advocates. Enlightened Ascetic is there to deal with any problematic enchantments that we have trouble beating (replace elvish visionaries).
