I had Gods Willing in there, but once I reshuffled my creatures to all white I swapped for Brave the Elements for the broader protection. I'm still not 100% sold on Bioshift, so I might drop that for Gods Willing.

I dropped Hidden Strings completely to speed things up, trying to keep it as fast as possible for the control matchup.

I find hidden strings soo benificial in cases where there are two blockers and im not yet unblockable use it to tap blockers then use it again to untap my heroic guy and a land for a godswilling. Or if im already unblockable cast it untap the two lands i used to cast it using it to effectivly cast it for free. I would put 6 hidden strings in if i could.

Still shuffling things around a bit to find the right balance. Hidden Strings is back in, as is Nivmagus Elemental to eat any heroic triggers that may otherwise not be useful.

What is your reasoning behind running 4 Hopeful Eidolon s over 4Favored Hoplite s? Is it just because Eidolon's Enchantment type buffs Ethereal Armor ?

I also made a deck based on I_H8_U_M8's list: W/u Hidden Heroes

Always consider Bioshift , there are very few 1 drops in standard that target two creatures. Also as an added benefit, it can move your counters if your creature will be bounced or killed.

DrewKungFu I run Hopeful Eidolon for a few reasons. With Ethereal Armor you have a chance of swinging 7/7 lifelink on turn 2, also bestowing one on Fabled Hero is pretty nasty. There are enough heroic trigger creatures in the deck that one less hoplite is hardly noticeable.

I_H8_U_M8 If I were to drop the Ethereal Armor I would slot in Bioshift and probably swap out 2x Hopeful Eidolon for 2x Artisan of Forms

I really like this deck, efficient, inexpensive, and very synergistic. A question for you, I see a lot of the sideboard allows you to alter your playstyle towards more control, what sort of matchups do you find yourself needing that additional control, and which cards are you usually taking out?

Thanks, great deck, +1!
