edit: (Just got back into playing after taking a break for a little more than 10 years. Most of my card knowledge has come from Theros, so I'm sure there are better things out there that I'm missing. Thanks again for any help!)
I built this recently and have been having pretty great success with it so far. Tonight however is my first FNM so I would like any feedback I could get before seeing how it plays out. I played someone who took 2nd place in last weeks FNM and was able to win in 3. Have currently played well against everything but a R/G/W token deck, which then caused me to add the ratchet bombs. ANY advice or helpful tips would be very much appreciated.
Use of cheap, quickly powerful creatures to flood battlefield. Use of enchantments to boost up (specifically on the Phalanx Leader or Fabled Hero ). Use Ajani, Caller of the Pride to boost up or to give a quick helping hand of flying/double strike.
Banisher Priest is in to assist with removal as this deck was lacking it.
Blind Obedience helps to slow down the opponent and as a way to help spend some extra mana, b/c you will have a ton come mid game (If you have not won by then)
Heliod, God of the SunObviously all the gods are awesome and having all your creatures get vigilance is a big plus. It also helps that he can pop off enchantment tokens that will also boost up your ethereal armors.
Chosen by Heliod allows for boost on Heroic, added toughness early on the 1 drops, and as a way to draw cards as your hand will play out early.
Originally had 2 more plains in the deck but was finding myself with far to much mana every game. Decided to take out two and so far it has not hurt me. I am thinking about taking out another plains and trading it for a second Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
Sideboard:I add in the ratchet-bombs against token decks
Boros Elite: I add against decks that I need to play even faster against. Played an Esper deck and added them in after a round 1 loss (was close) and was able to win in 3 (with the added help of Brave the Elements)
Sundering Growth if they are playing a ton of enchantments, or a specific one is stopping me.
