Some Mono-W Devo Questions
Standard Deck Help forum

So i pulled a list off of Mtggoldfish and I have a few concerns.
Soldier of the Pantheon - still viable? Would either Dragon Hunter or Mardu Woe-Reaper be any better or worse?
Hidden Dragonslayer : should this even be here? I'm iffy about it
is there a need for a better removal package?
Elspeth worth anymore?
If I missed anything let me know. Thanks in advance.

First of all, for Soldier vs Woe Reaper vs Hunter, it all depends on your deck synergy. If you're a warrior deck, woe reaper is better. If you're just strictly value, Soldier is better by far. I would say Hunter is terrible even vs dragons because it doesn't beat the dragons this meta cares about: Stormbreath Dragon and Silumgar, the Drifting Death and Dragonlord Atarka (because it still tramples through.
With white not having the best removal at the moment, Hidden Dragonslayer is a good option that is a threat and removal spell all in one AND it gains life. And it works well with Mastery of the Unseen.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion is still a powerhouse in the meta. Most decks still have trouble beating it so I would say it's still very viable.

Soldier of the Pantheon is best in the Sideboard right now, IMO.
Mardu Woe-Reaper is great in Warrior decks. Not sure about its value in W Devotion.
I'd go with Dragon Hunter, to be boarded out for Soldier of the Pantheon.
Hidden Dragonslayer is very useful with its Morph ability. It kills Siege Rhino and Hydras.
It can be protected with Ajani's Presence, if you need to keep it alive.
