Thanks for the feedback. Kinda funny, I was just looking at your deck.
I must've missed Nyxborn Shieldmate when browsing as that is a much better option than Favored Hoplite , thanks for pointing that out.
I debated on putting Gods Willing , but decided that I'd rather be more offensive. Though, keeping removal spells away would be useful.
I'll keep a lookout for Ethereal Armor . That does seem op when thinking about bestows and all the rest.

Personally, I would mainboard your 2 Ordeal of Thassa . And with all your enchantment creatures, Ethereal Armor as well.And Aqueous Form while we're there. :D
Try a prototype version of your deck with these changes - I'm sure you'll like it!

Good deck, but have you considered going mono-white? The splash of blue is nice, but it looks to me like it might slow the deck down, especially if you pull scry or shock lands early and don't really get rolling. Just curious how much you need the blue. Aqueous Form can be killer, but if it's all you're really splashing for then the trade off is speed.

bigpappyj, that's my next focus. The Aqueous Form are really just a holdout from when I was running 8-10 other blue cards. The evasion is definitely worth it, and the scry lands don't slow my deck down too noticeably. So for now, they'll stay til I can figure out a better solution for evasion. Brave the Elements could fill that role, but I've got to do some more playtesting first.

I also just made a blue white heroic deck. Glad to see another fan of it! My deck works more around bestow with heroic, and evasion. Check it out, I'd love feedback! Favored by Gods.
I'd say run 4x Gods Willing as soon as you can obtain them. I'd even drop Mortal's Ardor for them. As much as I really want to like Battlewise Hoplite , I'd say drop him in favor of +1 Fabled Hero and +1 Hopeful Eidolon .
I know this is from Theros block, but Ethereal Armor is just too good not to use it while it's still in standard. It's incredibly broken in my deck, but even though you run less bestow guys, I think it will pull its weight in your deck.
Also, I know Nyxborn Shieldmate doesn't look like much, but he works great with your heroic as early as turn 3, and if he falls off he's still a great chump. I'm not the biggest fan of Favored Hoplite . He's reusable fog, but I feel like you should be more on the offensive and having battlefield control from the start.
Anyway, great choice! +1 from me!
