A couple of suggestions:-Take Pacifism out of your mainboard and run 4 Celestial Flare instead. I understand your concern with Voice of Resurgence , but otherwise Celestial Flare is better than Pacifism at removing opponent's creatures.-Play Elspeth, Sun's Champion . She may seem like an overly expensive card, but her abilities are worth the mana cost, and I don't think you'll need to save mana unless you have cards like Celestial Flare or Brave the Elements in your hand.-Play Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . You are playing mono white, and if you only have white devotion, Nykthos can generate tons of mana to play cards like Elspeth, Sun's Champion -Run more Heliod, God of the Sun . You're only playing one, so if you don't draw into him, that's bad. Having more in your deck can increase your chances of drawing him, and if your opponent has counterspells or removal, you'll want more to be able to play.-If you can, try to play more Spear of Heliod . It is a really good artifact/enchantment for you to use, give your creatures +1/+1, and being able to remove your opponent's creatures.-If you want to, maybe put in Fabled Hero or Phalanx Leader .

Otherwise, Great deck!

Thanks for the suggestions, mainboarding celestial flare does sound like a good idea. I definitely would have more heliods, spears and some nykthos if i could get some. i'll go hunting, Thanks!

made a quicky update, took out 2x pacifism, sideboarded path of bravery and a fiendslayer and put in 3x celestial flare. would gladly trade the last 2 pacifism for a heliod and spear if i get them. Watcha think?

yea, taking our 2 Pacifism for a Spear of Heliod and a Heliod, God of the Sun is a good idea.also, Dryad Militant can be taken out for better creatures. if you want a good exile graveyard spell, try Rest in Peace . it's an enchantment, so less removal, and exiles everything.

I haven't run into any graveyard shenanigans lately, and I'm keeping the dryad militants because I don't want too many 3-drops, how do you think cavalry pegasus is? I really haven't been able to try it out.

I run a very similar deck to this and found that replacing Fiendslayer Paladin with Boros Reckoner can make a HUGE difference don't get me wrong the paladin is great but sideboard it for red and black matchups because reckoner is not only a 3/3 instead of a 2/2 which automatically gets your momentum up but it can help slow most other decks down and makes big green cry

I understand your argument and Boros Reckoner definitely is baus. But 2 things: 1. everyone has sideboard hate against him and 2. I don't have any. So for now at least, I'm gonna be sticking with Fiendslayer Paladin .

could really use Ajani, Caller of the Pride . To be honest he just flat out ends games and is always a great top-deck to see. Good decklist BTW

I've had my eye on Ajani, Caller of the Pride , and now that Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a thing, I'm gonna probably move around my 3-drops and try em out. hardest part will be getting them!
