The Pilgrim's Hero

Standard WU (Azorius)

Sideboard


Tom Ross updated UW Heroic list that integrates Heliod's Pilgrim to use as an Aura Toolbox.

I've been playing UW Heroic or UWR Heroic since pre-M15. My original build was based around Greg Hatch's Nivmagus Elemental.

This build has followed Tom Ross' exploits with UW Heroic relatively closely, particularly since his innovation of including Heliod's Pilgrim to add an aura toolbox element to the deck.

Suggestions

Updates Add

Seeker of the Way Replacements

Jeskai Sage - Is a cantip creature worth the power drop? It still has Prowess...

Monastery Mentor - Alternative to Brimaz, King of Oreskos as the non-targetable creature advantage in heroic.

Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest - Dropping double strike is a really interesting option on a solid 3/2 for 2B Prowess guy

Soulfire Grand Master - 4BB Instant/Sorcery Bounce could make for a useful sideboard against slower decks.

Cantrips

Pressure Point - Is 1W too expensive for a cantripping [[Frenzied Goblin]?

Refocus - Cantripping Combat Trick

Valorous Stance - A more flexible Ajani's Presence

Enchantments

Sage's Reverie - A possible part of a toolbox that outdraws Ordeal of Thasa?!? Yes please.

Cloudform - Might be a bit too ambitious but my deck does scry a lot!

Sideboard

Abzan Advantage - Kill God/Caryatid/Whip and pump
