Ethereal Armor is a cheap card that is strong, particularly with Heroic and the Hopeful Eidolon

Except Ethereal Armor is from RtR, not Theros

Why is Fabled Hero not main deck?

Also, I'd second the reccomendation for Hopeful Eidolon , its either a decent 1/1, or you bestow it, trigger a heroic ability, and grant lifelink, perhaps even on the Fabled Hero .

Gift of Immortality is good for certain things, shutting down bigger creatures or sacrifice effects

Soldier of the Pantheon can absolutely wreck most mutlicolored decks, and the life gain isn't too shabby either.

Spear of Heliod can boost ALL of your creatures, and help get rid of annoying ones that hit you once assuming you have the mana open.

For the sideboard, I'd throw in Annul , cheap counter, can go against artifacts or enchantments only, but that is most of Theros. Also, countering any of the gods for B is awesome any day of the week. Also, you might consider Artisan of Forms which can be useful if your opponents have any decent creatures you want to copy. Curse of the Swine is another excellent sideboard choice, exiling creatures that are indestructible, or generally large is fun.

Hope this helps.

Gainsay for the sideboard

Swift Justice is a very good card that lets you gain life and probably save a creature.

Orzhog222 Swift Justice is from the Return to Ravnica block. I'm making this deck out of cards only from the Theros block.

pingpongball120 Glare of Heresy will definitely go in sideboard against White decks, Gainsay will not however because I can't afford to leave mana open to counter what my opponent does.

pryoplasm:

Fabled Hero and Wingsteed Rider both occupy one spot that I'm playing around with right now. For now Wingsteed Rider is main simply because I actually own a playset of them, I'll get a few Fabled Hero s soon.

Hopeful Eidolon would only ever get cast for its bestow cost and there are better auras to put in. I don't need any more creatures and if I did, I would add in more heroic instead of the Eidolon.

Gift of Immortality I don't see working because when they re-enter the battlefield they lose any other enchantments or 1/1 counters they might have had. None of my creatures are big enough to merit having Gift of Immortality in.

Soldier of the Pantheon would take the spot of Favored Hoplite and frankly, I really like Favored Hoplite . I might add him side though against multicolored decks.

Spear of Heliod might be worth adding in. I'm just not sure what to take out for it...

Annul , Artisan of Forms , and Curse of the Swine I all like in addition to Swan Song , these will all make their way into my sideboard very soon.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ME SUGGESTIONS :D

For things to cut, you might look at the ordeals, yes they target at first, and the life can help, same with 2 cards, but I think you have room to either reduce them to 2 a piece, or get rid of them.

I really like the ordeals. They are always relevant. I think I'll probably cut 1 Dauntless Onslaught and 1 Wingsteed Rider /Fabled Hero for 2 Spear of Heliod . Do you guys think that the Bident of Thassa has any place in this deck?

A heroic deck, finally, a good matchup for my league turboFog deck (I think)! Good luck in the league, and I hope I don't take too much damage...
