Ran this at states, record 4-2-1

T1 - Judge's Familiar or Soldier of the Pantheon. Both are amazing.

T2 - Precinct Captain or another 1 drop and Mutavault

T3 - Boros Reckoner Fiendslayer Paladin Frontline Medic Path of Bravery or Spear of Heliod are all amazing. Three drops are really what drive this deck. i typically do not play Banisher Priest unless im on the draw and they dropped a Boros Reckoner....nothing else is really a big threat..maybe Fleecemane Lion .

T4 - Heliod, God of the Sun is a small possibility, and is easy to maintain devotion. prefer to drop another 3 drop and have a Brave the Elements in hand.

T5 - Archangel of Thune. Many trigger possibilities before she can even swing. Fiendslayer Paladin first strike is often overlooked when players do damage calculations and will trigger Thune's +1/+1 counters on the board before any other creatures do damage. Path of Bravery also is a trigger for the lifegain. Soldier of the Pantheon also.

Usually pretty cookie cutter playstyle from here on out. Banisher Priest is removal on a stick....shouldn't be played otherwise unless dire emergency. he is our best weapon against Desecration Demon, Boros Reckoner, and most of the green monstrous guys, like Polukranos, the World Eater.

Sideboard - Since control is arguably our hardest matchup, we side in the answers. Pithing Needle locks down Elspeth, Sun's Champion or either jace. Thoughtseize to minimize their options, Sin Collector to minimize the options and give us a body for them to waste another option against. Xathrid Necromancer helps survive board wipes, and is useful vs naya blitz. Fiendslayer Paladin for red or black removal decks, Glare of Heresy hits naya blitz, g/w aggro, mirror match, and b/u humans.

This deck is a monster. 2 FNM wins, and top 4 since theros release. Playtest it against your own decks and give me the feedback.
