Ajani's Presence would be pretty good here also. And Vanguard of Brimaz could work well here too.

I like the idea of Ajani's Presence but I don't know about the vanguard. It's a good card but I don't think it'll fit in the texture of the deck.

My friend brought up a good point last night that Gods Willing can be used to remove enchantments from enemy creatures by declaring the color of those enchantments so they fall off and go into the graveyard. So I would remove Kiora's Dismissal since Gods Willing can do its job almost as well and in place of it you could add Triton Tactics or Riot Control to help deal with Aggro decks or Gainsay to help with Blue decks or bring back Arrest for better removal.

Gods Willing only targets creatures you control. Otherwise that would work.

May I suggest a Pacifism for the sideboard? Otherwise, fantastic budget deck!

I think this should keep going! $20 decks for each guild! +1 from me!

I can make anything aggro! I'll try. Caninse tell me which ones you want!

@Caninse I just started working on a $20 Selesnya deck. I'd love for you guys to stop by and check it out in a few hours when I get a chance to do sideboard and description before making it public.

shesocold give me the name and I'll do a shoutout!

Sweet! And really any guild, but I've always loved orzhov and selesnya, so I'm excited to see the selesnya one!

The Selesnya deck is up here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/20-selesnya-standard-deck-1/ it works similarly to this Azorius one but is more unpredictable due to all the instants.

Why is lifegain in the hubs when there is one lifegain card.

One thing I would consider is adding Glimpse the Sun God and Launch the Fleet . With Battlefield Thaumaturge they cost one for your whole team, or with Glimpse it can be the whole team before your opponents attack phase, activating any heroics and scrying. I have them in my deck Daxos Wackos and it plays wells

I'm running something similar but more aggressive. Good deck though. +1

+1 since this is a great deck (and I like the name of course ;) )

Say you did remove the fancy zendikar lands. That could open up some budget for Hero of Iroas instead of Akroan Skyguard . Flying is great, but Hero provides a much greater benefit. I feel like Meletis Astronomer is the second best U/W heroic creature after Hero of Iroas because can pretty consistently replace heroic triggers, and I think should be a four of. As a budget brewer myself, the curve is something really important to think of, and unfortunately, it seems as if the best U/W heroic creatures are all 2-drops. I think Favored Hoplite deserves some acknowledgement for being a one drop heroic, leading to crazy shenanigans on turn 2. I understand if you don't include it.

Gods Willing should be a four of over Ajani's Presence , as protection just as useful and more useful in every scenario except for Supreme Verdict . Ajani's Presence could go to the sideboard, but is understandable in the main board.

Gift of Orzhova is an enchantment worth considering in the main board to help against burn, aggro decks, and is just a great enchantment in general.

I think your sideboard looks good except for Guildscorn Ward and Hidden Strings . Guildscorn Ward seems like it has little to no application with the number of mono-colored decks and removal out there. Hidden Strings is a main board heroic trigger in the non enchantment heroic decks, but I don't really see any matchup I'd bring it in for. Banishing Light is good, but it could tip the $20 budget since it is a more expensive uncommon. Pacifism is a cheaper "removal" spell that handles a lot of things (but not planes walkers, Detention Sphere and other annoying stuff running around in standard).

My first competitive deck was Bant heroic that I won some FNMS with. It was fun :)

Once again, great deck (and I'll link this one to mine)!

May I ask how this is supposed to be played? Aggressively? Control the board? Heroic?

I played it at FNM last Friday. Most of the time I did one of two things. Buff Battlewise Hoplite until it got lifelink and became ridiculously strong or buffed Meletis Astronomer and buffed it as I cycled through the deck until he was strong enough to swing for lethal. The amount and scry in this deck is extrememly strong and that's what I aimed for. Buffing a creature or two while scrying/drawing what I want/don't want. Also it went 3-1 which isn't too bad for my first FNM ever lol

Holy shit no way! You bought this? and it WORKED? I am so proud! lol

My dorm floor plays Magic and they don't use Blue so I could find most of the cards easily. I traded one Temple of Triumph to sift through some commons and uncommons and then spent $2 at a local card shop to get some of the more desirable commons. Didn't pull anything good but hey 3-1 is pretty solid. Gonna try running my Selesnya one in a couple weeks when I make some more changes.

I'm going to buy this before game day, I'll be playing my Rakdos Aggro deck on the first day and this deck on the second. Wish me luck!
