WHAT! Yous has no defedoors!!! I agree I like the look of the build and I can't wait to see what comes of it. Proxy and playtest, lets do this! I will challenge with my Honey Badger deck I have been working on...

I still think Far // Away would be strong here as well.

Grats on the Elspeth! I completely understand about the Naiad its all about preference, if you are looking for a good 1 drop flyer I think Judge's Familiar would possibly be better than Cloudfin Raptor as it won't evolve much, plus you have some utility in the Familiar. Test it out and see what you like!

Check out my Bestow Deck; its budget aside from the lands, I currently don't have the Temples but not having them doesn't hurt me to much. It lacks the control that yours has but it seems to work pretty well so far!

You and me both my friend, I stopped playing when I was a teenager right after Mercadian Masques and just started back when RtR hit. I am finally hitting my stride with my decks and enjoying the game much more than I ever have. Glad you are back into the game feel free to check out my decks that I have put together if want want some ideas to build from!

I would trade out Cancel for Dissolve, same CMC but you get to scry. If you are going to run Cluestone mostly for mana fixing I would trade it out for Keyrune for a 2/2 flyer that can avoid boardwipes. If you are running it for the card draw I would recommend either Divination or Azorious Charm for the utility. Also the new "unblockable" bestow creature would be nice here as well. And lastly you may consider Hidden Strings, on a Fabled Hero it will trigger twice, Double Strike; it you cipher it on a keyrune it will remain there until the artifact is destroyed so it can be very evasive.

Fast and easy removal for the color scheme

I love this deck, playing against it was a blast I think it synergizes very well. The only suggestions that I cold throw out there atm would be Rootborn Defense to protect against wipe, Banisher Priest for some more control. You know I feel about that priest though! Centaur Healer is a great brick wall for aggro matchups.

I love where the deck is right now as far as main board but I am still really iffy on the side board. Currently with I have I can board in faster creatures in those control match-ups but outside of that I am kind of lost on what else to put there. Comments, Suggestions, Likes are always welcome

Ok made some changes, looking at the comments I am seeing a common theme and suggestion. I like Hero, I was currently working him into my U/W Heroic Deck but he will fit nicely here as well. D.Sphere is in general much stronger so I moved S.Tithe down to sideboard, probably will be removing it all together in the end... Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

- 4 Soul Tithe; to the SB
+4 Detention Sphere
- 2 Ethereal Armor
- 1 Gods Willing
- 1 Celestial Flare
+ 4 Hero of Iroas

That's awesome to heat, I hope you are enjoying Magic. Sicksense has given me VERY detailed feedback and information on a build very similar to this if you want to read up on it. I just recently posted last weeks FNM results so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Ok here are my results on the FNM...

Round 1 vs. U/B Mill (Loss 1-2)

Round 1 (Loss) on a mulligan to 5, by the time I could start doing anything 1/2 of my deck was gone from a Breaking, Tome Scour, Ashiok. Anytime I would try to start going there was an answer.

-- Game 2 (Win) only on misplay by my opponent, instead of popping his Ratchet Bomb on a Ethereal Armored Favored Hoplite, he ticked it up for Battewise Hoplite. It took a while but I was able to finally get past Wall of Frost for the win, barely.

-- Game 3 (Loss) on a mulligan to 6, I played around a Ratchet Bomb for to long and allowed my opponent to set up 2 Wall of Frosts and Jace, Memory Adept. My opponent played really well, answering anything I dropped dragging the game into his favor.

Round 2 vs. Mono-White (Loss 0-2)

-- Game 1 (Loss) on a mulligan to 5, my opponent was able to get more of a field presence than I could and go a Heliod swinging for the game.

-- Game 2 (Loss) started well, baited an early Chained to Rocks and was able to get a Favored Hoplite to 11/12 but not Aqueous Form or Gift of Orzhova my opponent eventually got Heliod pumping tokens to chump block and was able to pull out the win.

Round 3 vs. Mono-Blue Devotion (Win 2-1)

-- Game 1 (Win) went all to my master plan, kind of, got a Battlewise Hoplite swinging with a Aqueous Form and a resolved Hidden Strings turn 3. This is the first game I finally got a Hidden Strings going and ERMAHGERD! it was nuts I think he scooped at turn 5...

-- Game 2 (Loss) on a mulligan to 5, Master of Waves wrecked my face...

-- Game 3 (Win) was a Magic: The Christmas-land, Turn 2 we had a Favored Hoplite with Aqueous Form, Ethereal Armor and HIDDEN STRINGS going so hard in the paint.... It was over before it started, I had 2 Gods Willing that protected my powerhouse and we took this one home.

Round 4 vs. Orzhov Midrange (Win 2-0)

-- Game 1 (Win) was kind of a shocking win as I mulligan'd to 6, survived a 2 Doom Blades, a Heroes Downfall and a Pharika's Cure keeping me off of creatures for 4 turns. My opponent was able to get Desecration Demon going along with a Whip of Erebos but he apparently ran out of removal and I was able to get a Omenspeaker with Gift of Orzhova, Aqueous Form and Ethereal Armor and hold of his Demon long enough get another creature enchanted up and swing for the game.

-- Game 2 (Win) was by far the best game of Magic I have played since I started playing again a year ago.

So we started out with a mulligan to 6, ran into 2 turns of removal, which was fine as I casted a Phalanx Leader and Favored Hoplite to bait it out so I could resolve a Daxos.... BUT in this time my opponent had resolved a Demon, Obzedat and then a Blood Baron; I was at 2 life, had an Omenspeaker with Aqueous Form, Soldier of the Pantheon and a Daxos. Here is where a top decked Hidden Strings BLEW MY F****** MIND!
I was at 2 life, 2 LIFE! Staring down a 7/7 Desecration Demon, Blood Baron and an Obzedat waiting to blink in for the win. This Hidden Stings allowed me to resolve a Gift of Orzhova, Ethreal Armor and Demon fodder for the next turn. I was able to swing with Omenspeaker and Daxos (exiled a land) and untap both for defense and get up to 7 life. Next turn I pumped out another Ethereal Armor, this time on Omenspeaker and she started to wreak havoc on my opponent, pulling me out of a hole. I screwed up majorly and missed 3 Daxos triggers which would have netted me a Read the Bones, Blood Baron and Obzedat, that won't ever happen again....
That Hidden Strings and Gift of Orzhova won me the game and I will never ever leave home with out them again, I love those to cards (in this deck).

Overall is was a good night for my first build of the deck, Daxos proved nice but not quite the mid game card I was looking for, Hidden Strings is going to 4, Gift of Orzhova will be going to 3.
I will be dropping Phalanx Leader all together, I will be running (***wait for it***) Fabled Hero at a 3. I may not like him but I got to have a strong win condition and through not only you and my friends suggestions, playing a full night with out him has more than convinced me of his power.
Aqueous Form will be going to 2, Ordeal to 3 and Ethereal Armor to drop to 3.

I can not wait to build my U/W Hero of Iroas deck, I am thinking more Bestow than actual enchantments, but maybe I will finally start using Righteous Authority.

Ok I have gotten to play test against a Mono-Red Devotion for about 15 Games. Depending on the hand it has went well, about 50/50 on the wins. The first 8 my mana base was really off but we got that fixed up and it performed much more consistant after that.

Unfortunately I still don't like Fabled Hero, way to slow for what I am looking to do however I do like Daxos and decided to run 2 of him. Got rid of Fate Foretold, was kind of meh; Put in 2 Gift of Orzhova. Added 4 Scry Lands, they work so well, I highly recommend it. Hidden Strings is a BEAST, holy cow I love this card....

I will be running the deck tonight at my FNM; I will post rounds and analysis tomorrow.

Hey that's great! I love the fact that my simple little deck sparked your interest enough to build off of it, I'm flattered. Happy building!

I much prefer E.Armor and F.Adaptation, but will test G.Ward as it can be a pseudo evasion. Unfortunately Soldier breaks the No Rare rule in building, however feel free to build this deck anyway you choose!
