I feel like you really really need Moorland Haunt at least 2 of them. Would let you recover form board wipes much easier.

This is true that it could help me against board wipes but I always expect board wipes so I don't play to much to that disadvantage. If I feel one coming on I usually play my Sun Titan than fiend hunter to exile my own Sun Titan. With that I have set into motion a wipe rebound. I also set this up when I wipe the field myself with a Day.

Shrine of Loyal Legions seem a bit out here in this deck. why not replace it with some human-gathering spells like Gather the Townsfolk?
and you might want to max out Honor of the Pure coz you know, you wanna draw that one early on to pump your boys up.

Zarum I know what you mean about have Thraben Doomsayers in the deck for more humans and all and I have tried it. The problem was that it always slowed my deck down as I would be tapping for creatures that would end up just being chump blockers anyways and I would rarely get to 5 or less life for faithful hour to activate. Which leads me to the reasons for the shrines. They seem out of place to some I acknowledged this avenged_arbiter but I found them extremely useful. Shrine with 12 counters on it by turn for, crack it turn 5, and that's only if the other player managed to slow my deck down or if I kept a slow hand. Also a situation arrived at an FNM I played at where the opponent was bringing out zombies like a champ and cracking the shrine allowed me to stop the attacks and win the game. There was a time that I ran 4 Honor of the Pures but than I wasn't seeing the other stuff that I needed so it was making them useless. After taking one out I got what I needed to make Champion of the Parish a 7/7 and another one a 6/6 by turn 3 and win turn 4 most the time. Right I almost forgot about the Gather the Townsfolk. Like I said before about not usually get to 5 or lower life I would rather run Increasing Devotion as I can cast it, get 5 white humans and than flash it back, get 10 white humans. Good suggestion though. After Avacyn's Return comes out then I take up the suggestions depending on the cards that come out.

Keep the Shrines, they are awesome in a deck like this, despite making artifact creatures. If they Day of Judgement, their life should be low enough for the Myr tokens to finish the game.

Ok sorry to say this but your scenario of having turn 3 hit a 7/7 parish and a 6/6 parish is impossible given the current deck...
Deck looks interesting question did you try 3 thalias before? Since your only running 3 cards that aren't creatures i thought it'd be a nice card to give you an extra turn to win verse other decks or make opp tap out.

Yeah I miscounted the cost of things but I was close enough, and yes I thought of thalias but where I play the meta is all creature heavy so it wouldn't do much for the effect

You need some Angelic Destinys, and I'd cut a Hero and replace that with another Honor. After some experience myself I'd move the Shrines to the sideboard, pull them in if your opponent had White in his deck, he'll have DoJ if he does. I know what I said above, but I've learned you just don't need them all the time. Swapping the Fiend Hunter with a fourth O-ring makes it harder for most folks to get their stuff back.

In end result I will probably only run 2 heroes and replace with a 4th honor and O-ring. Having the shrines main board has helped me more than once in the creature heavy meta where I play at. Prime example is when I fought a token deck and a zombie deck that just flooded the field. Cracked the shrine and stalled till I got my Day. I've kinda put this deck to the side right now and made it a project to come back to as I have a feeling that Humans are going to be amazing after Avaycn Restored comes out.

-1 Benalish Veteran , -1 Geist-Honored Monk , -2 Elite Vanguard , +2 Champion of the Parish , -1 Unruly Mob , -2 Grand Abolisher , +1 Doomed Traveler , +3 Mirran Crusader , +1 Mikaeus, the Lunarch . I'm leaning on taking out the Elder Cathar s as well.
