Urd Be Thy Name (Standard MTG Deck)

I like Paul's deck because not only does it have Obelisk of Urd as a win con, but you also have protection, Phalanx Leader and other +1/+1 heroic creatures to get out of -2 and -3 range.

The previous Urd decks I've played focused on getting 1-drops out to deploy the Obelisk, but tended to gas out early. This deck addresses that issue with 6 cantrips.

Modifications made to accommodate my meta.

A very cool take on the tribal Soldier theme.

Sideboarding guide:

VS Abzan Midrange
Out: 2 Urd, 1 Phalanx, 2 Launch, 2 Raise
In: 3 Suspension Field, 1 Banishing, 1 Purphorous, 2 Brimaz

VS Jeskai Aggro
Out: 2 Urd, 2 Launch, 2 Phalanx, 1 Raise
In: 1 Ajani's, 2 Dawnbringer, 2 Suspension, 2 Brimaz

VS Mono-Red Aggro
Out: 1 Vanguard, 1 Urd, 2 Launch, 1 Raise
In: 2 Brimaz, 1 Ajani's, 2 Dawnbringer

VS Abzan Aggro
Out: 2 Urd, 2 Launch, 2 Phalanx, 2 Raise
In: 2 Brimaz, 3 Suspension, 1 Banishing, 2 Devouring

VS. Jeskai Ascendancy / Heroic Combo
Out: 2 Urd, 2 Launch, 2 Raise
In: 2 Erase, 1 Ajani's, 1 Banishing, 2 Purphorous

VS Green Devotion / Temur Aggro
Out: 2 Launch, 2 Phalanx, 1 Urd, 1 Raise, 2 Vanguard
In: 2 Purphorous, 2 Devouring, 2 Dawnbringer, 2 Brimaz

What I'm thinking is my opponent is going to sideboard in against weenie strategies and the Obelisk, if they see it. I'm adding in the bigger threats to outwit them. Also, my sideboarding proactively addresses the type of deck they are piloting, says the man that says obvious things.
