An upgraded version of my first G/W deck: Not so Exalted Apoptosis -please help!, which went 2-0, 1-1-1, 0-2 at my first local sanctioned event. My local meta seems have a lot of G/W agro with a steep mana ramp that gets out nasties like Thragtusk, Wolfir Silverheart, [armada wurm]], with Restoration Angel which gave the first version of the deck fits (my spot removal with Selesnya Charm and Oblivion Ring, wasn't sufficient and I wasn't fast enough with my aggro to become a bigger threat consistently).

Basic deck premise is a combo of exalted/doublestrike with artifact enhancement and some green for mana ramp/trample.

Some changes from v1:4x Intrepid Hero to sideboard, these come in specifically for G/W decks, which were rough.

Added Avacyn's Pilgrim and Farseek for faster mana.

Added a land, ran into issue in 2 games of not having enough mana!

Replaced Giant Growth and 2x selensya charm for artifact equipment that greatly enhances doublestrike.

Removed Ajani, Caller of the Pride as there is a lot of doublestrike already in the deck (but would consider putting back).

Sideboard: the damn Thragtusk, Wolfir Silverheart, and Armada Wurm gave me fits, 4x Intrepid Hero are there to kill those bastards. I think the others are relatively obvious, but I might swap Sigarda, Host of Herons for something else -not sure what that would be...

Considering whether to add spells listed in maybeboard. If you think one of these should go in, please tell me what you would remove and why that would be an improvement.

1/17/13 update: just purchased 4x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Will update with new deck design.

Thanks in advance for looking and the advice!
