Ok I like the change to Aqueous Form .

I don't believe I haven't made a combo around that. I=STOOPID. U=SMART.

made some changes. will update description when i get the chance. doing this from a mobile, and html edit can be a pain that way. Basically swapped follower with Battlewise Hoplite and Aqueous Form replaced Unflinching Courage . drop an Azorius Charm and a daxos for 2x Give / Take

Really like the formatting you have here, there's a few typos in the break down, but aside from that it looks very well done.

What about Phalanx Leader over Battlewise Hoplite ?

@Behgz, Thanks for the compliment and vote. I am the typo master, but ashamed of my title. I'll have to comb through it again to clean it up.

@Fuss78, Phalanx Leader is a great suggestion, but for what I'm really looking for is the Scry1 instead of beefing my creatures which is Archangel of Thune 's job. The other reason I went Hoplite is because of the mana costs. Yes both are CMC 2, but having to pay 2-white can be problematic for an early drop in a 3 color deck. If I were playing 2 or mono this would be a great fit.

Thanks for all the recent feedback and votes. Recently made it up the charts to #94, which was a pleasant surprise. Thanks again for those who took the time to vote and comment.

thanks for the comment and vote. Laboratory Maniac may find its way in here once this deck rotates out of standard. nice find.

Really beautiful description, great work! You may want to add some Unravel the Aether or Revoke Existence in the sideboard, though. They're pretty powerful in standard at the moment. Celestial Flare is also a card worth considering, which is a great way to deal with Stormbreath Dragon and Blood Baron of Vizkopa .

@ProfessorDucky Thanks for the comments and great suggestions. I'm going to have to make some room and adjust the sideboard a bit. I think I might run Unravel the Aether over Revoke Existence simply because I prefer instant over sorcery. Celestial Flare i've suggested for others, but oddly never made the connection for myself. Thanks again. and for those of you who don't know the Professor you should check out his deck Gideon's Gilder which throws a different spin around the same infinite combo. Between the two and others that you may find you're sure to spawn some good ideas as well.

Thanks for the shoutout, blackblade! I too noticed the similarities between our decks, the difference being that yours seems a bit more competitive, with a much stronger early game. I love your use of charms, they're such great utility cards!

Whoops, linked your name wrong (forgot to capitalize). Sorry bout that.

Great deck! The charms work really well in here, I don't play standard anymore but this seems to be right in there as competitive +1

Detention Sphere ?

@redben346, oddly I have completely overlooked this awesome removal. Yes excellent suggestion that needs to find its way in here. Thanks for you comment and vote if you left one.
