@liu3bei thanks for the suggestion! I really agree with protecting my creatures so I added in Gods Willing and Feat of Resistance and I have Ranger's Guile in the sideboard for control based decks.

To help with flying and get you some extra creatures on your main board I'd put Abzan Falconer I ran a similar deck and can't say how many times that it won me a game with a beastly fabled hero with flying now.

I also run a version of this deck and I've found that a play set of Hardened Scales mainboard makes it REALLY explosive.

@EpicEvolution the only problem I have with adding creatures and putting in some Abzan Falconers is it would slow down my deck a lot. The idea of this deck is to make one creature really powerful and protect it with Gods Willing and Feat of Resistance while destroying your opponent quickly.

@oboewarrior thanks for the suggestion! I've been thinking of ways to Hardened Scales in to my deck. It is a very strong enchantment being a one drop but I don't know what I should take out. All of my creatures, instants, and enchantments are very important and powerful in this deck.

take out the playset of Hero of Iroas. He only has 4 cards that he interacts with in the entire deck. Also, take out the Nature's Panoply's for a playset of Center Soul

@oboewarrior Hero of Iroas is just a standard 2 drop 2/2 with a great ability. Every other green or white heroic creature is much slower. Its already bad enough I have a 2 drop 1/1 (Phalanx Leader). And for Center Soul, having 12 protection spells and 8 in the sideboard is just ridiculous. I usually put in Ranger's Guile against control decks and sometimes also Ajani's Presence. That would leave me with 16 protection spells and if I put in the Ajani's Presence then I would have all 20 instants as protection. Their is no need against any deck to have 20 protection spells. With that being said I want to thank you for the suggestions.

The more protection you run, the more guaranteed hits you will get, which is especially good for a midrange/aggro deck like this. They are especially good against tempo decks like Abzan, which is one of the hardesr matchups for this type of deck.

@oboewarrior I see what your saying but with my spells all being protection my creatures won't grow very big. I want to grow a creature but also protect it. I do often have a tough time against Abzan but after sideboard I usually win. I add in Ranger's Guile and maybe 2 Ajani's Presences and keep the Defiant Strikes and Solidarity of Heroes. So then I have buff protection spells, draw cards, and ways for my creatures to grow.

if you ever put in a play set of Hardened Scales, a play set of Reap What Is Sown are stupid good.

@oboewarrior wow that is a really powerful combo I definitely will keep that in mind. Thanks for the idea!

The following cards are not in standard:
And your entire sideboard except for Plummet.
And Reap What Is Sown, but that's not really even in the deck so yeah.

this deck was made before the standard rotation though

Ok. It was standard legal, that is definitely true. It is now a modern deck.

Yeah its all fixed now. I forgot about Battle of Zendikar rotating out Journey into Nyx in standard.

All of the Gods Willing should be mainboard.Protection is key!
I'd take out both the Dauntless Onslaught and the Titanic Growth since you don't really need that boost since your creatures get big enough already in my opinion.
