Thanks!! I tried adding 2 more Remand's for the Selesnya Charm's but it surprisingly didn't have much of an impact. I'll certainly try +2 Path to Exile

Soul's Attendant is strictly better than Soul Warden because sometimes you might not want to gain life due to Rain of Gore effects.
Birds of Paradise should be replaced by Noble Hierarch because Birds of Paradise only taps for g, u, w in this deck and the added exalted is good.

Wow, I didn't even notice Soul's Attendant said "may gain". I'll definitely make the switch.
It might be a while till I can get some Noble Hierarch's, but I can definitely see it helping, especially with Geist of Saint Traft only having base power/toughness of 2/2.

You can forget Soul's Attendant triggers, though. I would just drop green entirely, play White splash Blue for Geist.

This is definitely not the kind of deck that wants to leave mana open for counterspells.

JexInfinite What would you suggest to add in? If I took out green Brave the Elements would probably be a good card to add. And I wanted to sideboard Grand Abolisher originally, but there were better options. I almost feel that Noble Hierarch's exalted to give geist +1/+1 is worth it to splash the green. Against other aggro decks, I find him a lot safer as a 3/3. And getting to Archangel of Thune a turn earlier is good.

Geist isn't the only win condition. Adding green to make a single card slightly better, when the benefit is negligible due to mana issues, is not a great idea.
Just start from scratch, but with Geists.

JexInfinite Well obviously Geist isn't the only thing Noble helps with. Getting to any of my other creatures a turn earlier is a must. Just saying Geist was the easiest threat to chump block, aside from tokens.
I'm not saying I won't have mana problems now and than, but the splash of green hasn't created any yet, as the fetch lands keep me pretty safe. Plus the green for Scavenging Ooze has been helpful as good grave hate (which is big in my area), and can also become a decent threat.
I'm not sure why I would completely throw away my deck idea, to make a deck just based around Geist. After the failed AEther Vial test, I put this together without even knowing Soul Sisters was a thing. After finding out about Soul Sisters, I was glad to see this deck didn't follow the generic path that most mono white sisters decks did. It's a fun deck that is also more competitive than it may seem, especially with the sideboard.
I appreciate the input, but I am not looking to change my entire deck at the moment. Pulling green might be something I could work with though.

If you want to gain life without playing Soul Sisters, Auriok Champion is easily the best.

Take out Selesnya Charm, and put in 2 more Path to Exile. +1 for Bant!
