Id also replace Epharas enlightmemt with some burn, if i was to create a more tempo build with the deck.

Problem is, Ephara's enlightmemt is my only defense against flying. The counter is great and more about it. So i could keep that.

I think I would remove the lighting strikes and replace them wih 2 Twin Bolt and 2 Crater's Claws, then maybe trade Ephara's Enlightenment for either Cloudform or Lightform

You're playing too many Creatures for this deck. Hammer of Purphoros is okay but not necessary since Narset has hexproof.

I've seen people playing with Ephara's Enlightenment, but it never seems to work out the way they hoped. It slows down the game a little too much because recasting closes out the gap in order to play something more efficient. The Hammer of Purphoros is okay, but you need to sacrifice lands just in order to create tokens that could just be destroyed easily. You may have excess lands, but you need those lands in order to cast the larger stuff you need. Chandra, Pyromaster is a good card, but it's very limited in this type of deck. You don't have too many instants/sorceries that can be effective enough for her abilities. I'd put her in the sideboard. Ajani Steadfast is more for a deck that utilizes the counters more effectively. As for Narset, Enlightened Master, she is just too expensive and needs 3 colors just in order to cast her.

This deck does have some things going for it however. Elspeth, Sun's Champion is great in standard, Monastery Mentor is the bomb, and Dragonlord Ojutai is rising rappidly in popularity. Anticipate is cheap and effective to get to the things you need, but I would also add some Dig Through Times.

A few of my suggestions would be Monastery Swiftspear, Thunderbreak Regent, up the Monastery Mentor to 4, and add another Dragonlord Ojutai. I would also add more counterspells like Negate, Silumgar's Scorn, and Disdainful Stroke. And I would add some Roasts, either mainboard or sideboard. With todays playstyle, you'll be seeing a lot of high toughness creatures (Siege Rhino).

Thanks for your suggestions! What woukd you recommend taking out for a second Ojutai. Im actually loving ajani as he lets me get embles really fast, provides a blocker and gains me life. Is emblem is a game won if i have lifegain capabilities.

I would put Chandra in the sideboard by taking out a circle of flame and replace the Chandra with Ojutai.
