Did you build this with a budget in mind or did it just end up inexpensive? I really like the deck and was wondering if there are upgrades you would make if there was no budget?

It just turned out inexpensive, really. Most of the cards I use to trigger heroic cost like 10 cents. If I had no budget, I'd up the Hyena Umbra to 4x, maybe add in an Angelic Destiny or two. Maybe splash in some blue to get Battlewise Hoplite and to get around blockers, but the mana-base alone would cost more than the entire deck.

Finally! A modern deck I have most of the cards for, don't feel bad running, and can compete at FNM! I might have to look into splashing blue, changing some cards, or things of that sort, but I hope I can figure out how to run this. If you have any cheap blue card suggestions for me I wouldn't mind looking at them, thank you!

Just keep in mind you probably won't be beating any Tier 1 decks consistently when your deck costs less than an Inquisition of Kozilek. :p

Another addition to consider is Mutagenic Growth. It's a neat little combat trick to pull when you're out of mana and your opponent doesn't expect anything.

Nice deck. I've got nothing to add really but how about Eidolon of Countless Battles or even Graceblade Artisan?

Spirit Mantle may be fun too. Also, if I'm reading Odric, Lunarch Marshal correctly it seems that you're spreading the abilities given by your Auras to all creatures... he just costs a bit.

What do you think of Daybreak Coronet as a non-budget option?

codpieceofjustice, Spirit Mantle does indeed look fun, and adds a little bit more evasion. I'm not sold on Odric, he's very expensive manawise.

K00lDudE1, Daybreak Coronet would be a great non-budget upgrade, too, yes. Though I don't think I'd run more than 2.

You're missing the best card for mono white! Brave the Elements. You can use it to get unblockable creatures, or simply to prevent removal. I like to use it in conjunction with Murder Investigation which is susceptible to removal-on-cast attack.

Other cards to note:

Fabled Hero Heroic, double strike whaaa?

Mirran Crusader Protection from 40% of colors, not bad, doublestrike? great!
