+1 to you and Sigarda, Host of Herons is better for sideboard for main use one more Oblivion Ring and one more Thragtusk .

@Old_ManWhile I appreciate your like and value your opinion, sigarda is a key part of this deck that has won me her weight in games. If she is allowed to resolve, which because of the caverns she does, it changes the flow of the game. I am deciding whether or not to keep ajani. If I rule against it, I will have two slots open to consider and test your suggestions.

I would maybe drop the ajanis and add at least one more Rancor , and maybe add a fourth Cloudshift . You also might want to think about getting a few Silverblade Paladin in there. Those bound to a mana dork with a bonds of faith or rancor become a significant threat T2 or T3. Then you can Cloudshift them out at bind them to sigarda or even better avacyn. I like it though. Plus 1 from me. I also have a humans angels. Modern though not standard, check it out; or any of my other decks.

As much as I wish it wasn't so, Avacyn needs to go. As an 8 drop she simply doesn't win you the game the turn she comes out like an 8 drop should. There are much better angels to put in her place like Angel of Serenity .

Thank you all for the suggestions. They are really helping shape the deck into a competitor at my FNM. Please continue to let me know what could make this deck the best it can be.

This looks like a great build, +1 from me.
3x elvish visionary and 3x nearheath pilgrim is an interesting choice, does the life link make a significant difference compared to say centaur healer.
July 10, 2013 2:14 p.m.
The card draw thru the elf is actually pretty good, its also a desperation target for resto in case nothing else out is better target like thrag, and u would otherwise being flashing her in just to chump block.
July 10, 2013 2:21 p.m.
@Behgz the lifegain that the pilgrim gives me is an essential part of my early game survival. When paired with a smiter or paladin in the first two to three turns gives me a good boost to launch me into the midgame where this deck is best. Thanks for the +1!

I would plus this if it had 23 or more lands...lol i would bet money that you have a lot of mulligans despite how good some of the hands might be. the cards and synergy are amazing. but i think you're undercompensating in land quantity for the reality that angel of serenity is a 7 drop and some of your spells are tricky to play. if you dont get ramp, then your back could be up against the wall in a hurry. good deck tho. just had to be the one to say it. if it were up to me, which is most definitely is not...I would go -3 elvish visionary, -1 ajani, caller of the pride, + 2 garruk, primal hunter, +1 cavern of souls, +1 gavony township.
Lemme know about my Slivers!!! http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/aurelia-the-sliver-leader/
If you comment on mine, I'll plus you. And if I plus you, then you should plus me :P

Hey whats up boston check out my sideboard I think its soild let me know what you think about using somthing like it as your sideboard
July 14, 2013 7:59 p.m.
@NiRouBolas I dont know why you think I mulligan frequently. In reality I dont more often than do. To be honest I find myself drawing lands when I dont want to but dont want to go under 21. With the pilgrims and farseeks I hwve more than enough mana sources. I dont believe I am under compensating anything. The deck has great flow and rarley are there any mana problems.

+1 from me. This is a very cool (and different) looking selesnya brew. Clearly you've already celebrated some success at your local FNM so I don't really have any suggestions. Kudos. Please feel free to check out my main brew The Voices of Selesnya if you haven't already, and comment or upvote if you like my ideas.
July 16, 2013 11:16 p.m.
@PrinceOfNeurosisthanks for the +1 and comment. I was trying to go for something different that would still be able to compete.
July 17, 2013 1:37 p.m.
Other than the big cards (ie Voice of Resurgence and Archangel of Thune ), Brave the Elements is looking to be really good at bare minimum to side since most of the cards you don't want to be effected are white. Pithing Needle , Dryad Militant and Rest in Peace are other good options to choose from, with Banisher Priest or Fiend Hunter getting a mention for Restoration Angel shenanigans while you still can. Honorable mention to Fiendslayer Paladin and Imposing Sovereign . I know that Sovereign will probably be super good when Innistrad rotates out and might be a lot stronger in play than on paper, but that is up for you to decide.

I enjoy using Cloudshift with a lot of these cards

Personally I like Transguild Promenade more than Shimmering Grotto pay into it early so that you don't have to pay into every turn. however it still comes in tapped and you need to pay into it so it's a preference choice.
July 21, 2013 1:45 a.m.
@BawbMaggit that is actually a very good suggestion. I forgot all about that card. I think I am going to playtest with that. Thank you.
July 21, 2013 1:50 a.m.
You should try playing a few Commander's Authority . It is a useful way to get out a lot of creatures quickly.Another card that would work great for this deck is Privileged Position . This deck seems to me to have a weakness to cards that force you to discard cards, or general black killspells. Privileged Position would help alleviate some of that weakness.

BawbMaggit says... #23
@eddiem97 I think he is attempting a standard deck so privileged position wouldn't be legal.
July 21, 2013 2:31 a.m.
@BawbMaggit Thanks for that. As you can see, I don't read much fine print...
