I actually do have two of those left that I could use. I imagine this'll be really helpful for after the rotation too. Thanks! =)

My new Standard-Deck (in the making) goes a similar way ... maybe you can share some of your experience in this matter?

Especially for post-rotation, and just in general, I think you would enjoy Ephara's Enlightenment , also, Favored Hoplite over Battlewise Hoplite , really because he is an awesome blocker and potential voltron target (hitting him with an instant will not only +1/+1 him, but also prevent all damage to him that turn. It is really a scry vs damage prevention preference thing, but it may be something to consider.
Looks fun to play.

Hum, I'll definitely give the Favored Hoplite a few test runs, thank you! As for Ephara's Enlightenment , I already have that one in the sideboard xD
It's definitely a fun card to spice up the game, but I feel that - it's causing a lot of conflicting choices in-game. E.g. do I play another spell on the Fabled Hero or do I play a creature to get the Enlightenment back?
Naturally, if I do manage to get a Fabled Hero out, I will want to play as many spells on him as as possible. With a Mana Pool of 5 I could either play an Aqueous form, maybe two Ethereal Armors, a God's Willing and two Mizzuim Skins; or Ephara's Enlightmenment twice if I combine it with a Hero of Iroas and a cheap creature (such as the Favored Hoplite). It's a nice gimmick for lategame when there's plenty of mana to spare but imo it's a card that shouldn't be in a deck too often.

Totally didn't see Ephara's Enlightenment in your sideboard. You have a good point, I just tend to like it because with Hero of Iroas , it is still only a 2 drop, add 2 +1/+1 counters (if heroic) and flying. Which is nice. I do get what you are saying, having a lot of options in a single mana-cost can be problematic. Also, with Khans coming out (lots of three color stuff), I imagine Soldier of the Pantheon will be seeing more play due to its protection from multicolored. Just a thought :)

Oh yes definitely. Sadly I don't have one of those yet, but I'll keep my eyes open for them. Thanks =)

Use hero of iroas to the fullest with Battle Mastery or Spectra Ward

One of the best, if not the best blue spell to aid white (heroic) creatures imho is Triton Tactics , which you might add to your sideboard at least. Otherwise I like your deck a lot! :-)
