You seriously need Ethereal Armor if you even plan on putting pants on dudes

I swaped it out for ephara's enlightenment. Ok

You need to figure out what you want your deck to do. Right now you've got a control/lifegain/aggro deck. You'll win some games by being so flexible, but you'll find yourself on the losing end most of the time. If you narrow down what you want to do, it makes it easier to focus on how you want to win.

If you want to the the heroic route, these are my suggestions.

Put in the 4 Gods Willing into the mainboard. Its a good source of protection from removal and also can be used to get past blockers.

Drop the 2 Cancel , 2 Pacifism , 4 Meletis Astronomer . Sideboard the 3 Detention Sphere . I like Ordeal of Heliod and Ordeal of Thassa , but I found that its generally too slow, so I suggest dropping those two, but you can keep them if you want.

Add a playset of Ethereal Armor . It synergizies well with Aqueous Form . If you can get your hands on some Fabled Hero I recommend that. Also suggest Eidolon of Countless Battles .

I think you may have forgotten to click save as Ethereal Armor still isn't in your list

-2 Ephara's Enlightenment - due to cost, leave it at two

-2 Cancel

-4 Judge's Familar

+3 Battlewise Hoplite - he is TOOO GOOOD not to run in any UW Heroics.

+3 Ethereal Armor

+2 Gods Willing

I think that sev705 has the right idea. try putting in 4 Hallowed Fountain , and remove 4 islands.

I would love shock lands but can't afford them. Am editing the list now

I took out detention sphere. Should I keep it? I need something to help against 500 dollar packrat mutavault decks. But maybe the way you play those is by losing. I would like to go 2-3 or 3-2 at fnm.

Put those Detention Sphere s back. it will add more to Ethereal Armor 's effect. try keeping your mainboard at 60 cards.

ok. I am working on what I can take out

maybe drop medomai? sideboard some azorius charms perhaps? and also drop ephara? as much as i like her I dont see her ability helping you out much and up Eidolon, maybe?

This is my plan. Any last minute suggestions?

this might be pushinf it but maybe find a place for Hopeful Eidolon or Nyxborn Shieldmate , those are pretty good 1 drops and Nyxxborn has a fairly reasonable bestow cost

looks good. and it's budget!

Good. I hope this will do well!!! Will post in a couple of weeks how this dose at FNM

-3 Daxos of Meletis -2 Medomai the Ageless -4 Pacifism

+2 Hopeful Eidolon +2 Gods Willing +3 Detention Sphere +2 Eidolon of Countless Battles

even though i know detention sphere is a lot more appreciated than pacifism, i would like to know why is it SO much better.

because even though it does exile and it can clear more than one card, and it can be a permanent (including planeswalkers/gods), pacifism still kills a creature, still buffs ethereal armor, costs 1 less to cast, and costs ALOT less $$ (not that 2$ is such an expensive price but still)

@[Shadow02] because it completely gets rid of anything that isnt protected with hexproof or protection. Why slow down a card when you can get rid of it all together? you would be able to eliminate devotion, irritated activated abilities or triggered abilities that can be potentially lethal.

Shadow02 it can also deal with multiple cards at once. If you are playing against someone using pack rats and they have say 1 out with two tokens, you can detention sphere the main and the other two also are exiled as well which means those are gone for good.

Ever think about running more heroic creatures maybe Artisan of Forms or Meletis Astronomer or Daxos of Meletis or Hero of Iroas ? Just some ideas, I'd like to see how it progresses

once journey into nyx is standard you could add a few Battlefield Thaumaturge and a playset of Launch the Fleet s the thaumaturge lets you cast strive for all your creatures free!

also Brave the Elements is amazing and am not suggesting removing it, but it doesnt trigger heroics so it could be good sideboard against black blue or red swap in for Launch the Fleet

Hi. Have you considered Triton Tactics as an alternative to Detention Sphere ? It triggers heroic and it suits to a better aggro mana curve (especially against other aggro decks).

NewTurtle I have [Detention Sphere] because at the store that I play there are a lot of the level one decks and [Detention Sphere] can deal with their walkers and other things.

actaully Pacifism doesn't boost ethereal because you don't control Pacifism when it's played

Take a look at my Deck W/U Heroic. Just take out cards that have nothing to do with targeting you're creatures. I'd recommend Hidden Strings and Aqueous Form To get some damage in. Also replace 2xFabled Hero For copies of Battlefield Thaumaturge or some Triton Shorestalker Get that boosted up with Phalanx Leader . Target Phalanx Leader Enough and you'll definitely gets good unblockable.
