I like the theme of the deck - but a few things confuse me a bit. The lack of 4 Charms is the first glaring thing. Sure, it might not be the best removal spell, but it can create 2/2s that are essentially flashed and have vig, which also procs Trostani. It's too diverse for it not to be a 3 or 4 of, IMO.

I like Ajani and Elspeth, but for 6 mana the Elspeth doesn't do enough work IMO, as the -3 is directly counter-synergistic with the rest of your deck. But then, the +1 is great for Voice and Trostani.

Lastly, why the mutavaults? aside from the combo with Trostani, it does no work (losing a land early to mid game is devastating, even with the Sylvans and Mystics) I just feel that the mutavault placement is a little... off, especially as a 2 of.

Aside from that - I really like the theme of the deck :).

You mean Shrine to Nyx? I like it - but the big problem with it in this deck is that the devotion split either way is very even - most of the permanents have a 1/1 split between green and white. Devotion to Green could work - but this deck is VERY reliant on a 1/1 color split in the first 2-3 turns of the game.

A Shrine to Nyx means that this deck has a much higher chance of not breaking out on turns two and three, which is when this deck is at it's strongest, as it brings an uncounterable onto the field (ie. Lox), and then buffs it out of range of red kill spells, forcing unfavorable trades.

Similarily though - It does mean the lategame is stronger for this, and some of the combos get somewhat mana intensive.

I'll definitely consider it as a 1 of or 2 of in the sideboard.
