This is similar to monowhite heroic except it has the only good black heroic: Agent of the Fates .

Play intelligently and try to make sure that you can protect your ordeals with your protection spells.

Proper Siding:

Gods Willing is better than Ajani's Presence when you need protection from something that doesn't just deal damage to your creature or destroy it(targeted -X/-X spell or a targeted enchantment or bounce spell or an exile spell like Utter End or Abzan Charm ). Even against burn, gods willing gives you the advantage of scry and having the dual purpose of making a creature harder to block. Ajani's presence can trigger on multiple targets, but because of its vulnerability to spells like Bile Blight it's in the sideboard. A mix of Ajani's presence and God's Willing can be better against decks like monored when you need the extra +1/+1 for a turn.

Side in Glare of Heresy and try to leave mana up against Jeskai Ascendancy so you can kill the Ascendancy right away if they need to fish for the combo. Jeskai Ascendancy doesn't really care what life total you're at since they kill you in one turn, often with the mill combo so side out ordeal of heliod.

I haven't tried Herald of Torment yet. With Hero of Iroas, it's bestow cost might be feasible.
Master of the Feast is better in decks that can protect it so I need to try him too. People like to wait until your next turn to remove the master, but if you have protection spells you can force them to kill it on their turn when you're tapped out.
Ordeal of Heliod is used vs aggro
Ordeal of Erebos is better vs more controlling decks that have cards in their hands
Seeker of the Way is a great card and his prowess triggers off the same things as heroic. Often bestowing him with Eidolon of Countless Battles provides a massive lifeswing that can be useful in a midrange mirror. He also works better than the Agent against token decks like monored rabble.
