FNM —Nov. 29, 2014
Today was an okay day for the deck. 2-2. First match was against Jeskai. It was piloted by a newer player with the deck that was just build (it had mana issues) and he lost a quick 2-0 because he never played more than a few burn spells. Next was a match against temur midrange, and he crumpled under Triton Tactics and Gods Willing, with a card advantage on Ordeal of Thassa closing the deal. 2-0 me. Next I had another jeskai deck, that laid down Goblin Rabblemaster after Goblin Rabblemaster, and after killing them I had no answer for the 4 burn spells in his hand. Post sideboarding i had to mulligan so I lost 0-2. I then had a match against mardu midrange, where I somehow almost reached the time limit, because I Negated and Singing Bell Striked all of his threats each game, but eventually a Butcher of the Horde slipped through and the lifegain did me in, swinging 11 per turn didn't get me the win I needed. Lesson learned: Stratus Walk shouldn't be sided out against mardu.
Also, have you considered Abzan Falconer for instant flying or Phalanx Leader for mass tokens. Ajani's Presence is also good to help with spells that destroy, and Launch the Fleet can potentially trigger all creatures on the field for some extra tokens. As a last measure you might consider Return to the Ranks if you get board wiped, because all creatures in this deck are 2 mana or less.
On the sideboard, Glare of Heresy for some white control, and Erase for enchantments (courser).

I thank you for your suggestions. However, my deck has been succesful in my meta as is. Ajani's Presence is good, but it doesn't help with those exile effects. The falconer and leader i tried in earlier versions, and they didnt work for me.

Do u consider creatures with heroic have and extra mana cost to Cast the regular cost plus 1 more to lay a spell in case u need to protect it.

I agree with ur choice to cut the Pilgrim. With the amount of Ramblemasters and Mardo type decks running its just to slow epecialy against Marduo warrior decks with chief of the edge they are to fast for Helios's Pilgrim to run in right

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a white Socery that cost one white and two colorless that read "Search your libary for a Aura card reveal it and put it into your hand, then shuffle your libary.'' Like wouldn't it be awsome if there was a white sorcery spell in standard that did what heliod's Pilgrim did?

Also u may want to consider Pin to the Earth over Singing Bell Strike then it completely stops cards like stormbreath and the Butcher without allowing them to untap them for six mana

Pin to the Earth doesn't tap the creatures, so they can still use them as blockers or use their activated abilities that require tapping. I find Singing Bell Strike to be a little bit better.

Oh right I forgot it only effects its power :p and I guess if they want there creature untapped so badly they pay 6 which won't leave much room left for them to cast spells

I'm not a fan of Feat of Resistance. It costs too much just for a protect. When you only have 3-4 mana, it cuts that down to 1-2 just to save your creature during your opponents turn. Would rather use 1 mana spells for a deck like this.
