Tilzerj - Oooh, I like those! Might swap out one Spear of Heliod for one Honor of the Pure; while the latter is cheaper and the former is slightly more vulnerable, I do like the option of a counter-destroy as potential way to deal with heavy creatures, and with one of each, their effects could stack. Soldier of the Pantheon is pretty good too; I might keep a couple of those in sideboard and swap them with Doomed Traveler when the situation permits. Thanks!
In other tweaks, I'm thinking about dropping the two Aegis Angels and replacing them with a second Angelic Overseer and a second Citadel Siege. Human Creature + Aegis Angel (defending the human) + Angelic Overseer is a decent creature combo, but it's too slow in this deck. I'm definitely removing the two Ainok Bond-Kins to make room for the other two Brave the Elements, so as long as there's any other non-token creature on the field, the Overseer is guaranteed to have hexproof + indestructable.

I've been looking at this deck a lot lately and I enjoy the archetype and I realized that I'm artificially limiting myself too much: the creatures are mono-white, AND soldiers, AND humans (barring the two Angelic Overseers). I'm thinking I need to splash green more, with the following changes in particular:
-2 Elder Cathar
...And change the Forest/Plains mana balance, as well, though I need to play with it more before I can make educated guesses there.
Thoughts?

Nice deck, seems fun, good and not a 1000$ deck +1, thank for the +1 on my Hydra deck.

Having played this deck and read up on the rules regarding Protection recently, I need to make room for the other two Brave the Elements that are currently in my sideboard: I didn't realize that creatures of the selected color couldn't block, so that'll dramatically increase my ability to damage the opposing player. I'd also like to fit in one or two more Raise the Alarm cards, though Collected Company helps fill that niche. My inclination is to move over the two Bonds of Faith but I find myself using those a lot as a slower but more flexible form of Pacifism. I might move over the Ainok Bond-Kin as they haven't seem to have been getting a lot done in playtesting.
