Small adjustments —Nov. 6, 2013
The Loxodon Smiters are out in favor of Fabled Hero sideboard, because I think that is a better move against midrange/ramp. Witchstalker has been working better than originally expected, so I've switched out a Fleecemane Lion for one more mainboard.
I quite like this deck! +1Would you think two bigger creatures could fit here though? Such as Archangel of Thune ?And why not Voice of Resurgence ? Just wondering, as I'm not experienced with this kind of deck.

@Magnvs This deck is closer to Aggro than Midrange, so I dislike running anything more than a three drop. I might start looking for 4 drops if I continue to have a hard time with Ramp decks, but Archangel of Thune is definitely just too late-game for this build. Voice of Resurgence is trickier to explain, but besides the expense, I just don't feel it does enough in the deck. It only has pseudo-hexproof, so I'm not entirely comfortable suiting it up with auras, and the token it makes is almost never going to be bigger than a 3/3 base in this deck. If I were running more creatures, I'd consider it, but as it stands, it just isn't worth it at its price point.

Nice deck raithe000
I'm keen on Selesnya Charm these days because it is one of the ways to deal with the gods. Do you run into them much at your LGS, perhaps in mono blue?

@Agog I haven't actually run into the Gods, honestly. Like the description says, they are mainly there because Polis Crusher is horrible for me.

What about Boon Satyr ? A great card, surprise blocker, semi-haste if you play it EoT, or surprise buff in the later game.
Also, a bit keen on removal, but Fabled Hero will get very big, very fast in a deck like this.
I have a similar build, check it out: Bant Auras, Theros Style.

@Yananas I'm not sure Boon Satyr is worth it in the deck. I'm just wary of including too many non-hexproof cards, and I find that 5 mana is often hard to come by in this deck. I've seen the recommendation a lot, so I may test it out, but currently it doesn't really fit well with me.
Fabled Hero, on the other hand, may take the place of the Loxodon Smiters in the sideboard. I've been trying to find good 3-4 drops for going against midrange, and that seems like a good card for that. I'll definitely try that out.
@Matsi883
T1: White mana land, Hopeful Eidolon
T2: White mana land, 2x Ethereal Armor
on Hopeful Eidolon, swing 7
T3: Any color land, Ajani, Caller of the Pride
, use Ajani's -3 on hopeful eidolon, swing 7 doublestrike
It's not consistent and is very risky if they have any removal, but it is possible.
