Midrange deck I've been working on. I don't have all the cards for it but hopefully I can trade for most of them. I've been practicing with proxies and it's very aggressive. I was debating on Archangel of Thune over Stormbreath Dragon but the pro white and haste just won over the angel. A lot of good combos in this deck but one thing I don't like is that Boros Reckoner, Courser, and Domri are all 3 drops, adding up to 11 with 3 CMC. If you get a good ramp going it doesn't matter too much but if not then they kinda slow down the deck. If I did have to choose to get rid of something it would be Boros Reckoner but I don't know what to put in. It's a very aggressive deck and can keep a lot of pressure on slower ones like control (of any kind) or mono black devotion. Other aggro decks don't give it much trouble but as I mentioned before if you don't get a good ramp going and you're stuck with Domri, Boros Reckoner, and Courser it's going to be a bit sluggish. Usually when I'm in that position I'll drop Courser and maybe get some extra land drops in and filter out the deck.
Mana ramp like crazy to play your big creatures early and keep heavy pressure on the opponent. If you get Xenagos out then your opponent is on a huge clock, especially if you have one of your bigger creatures out or you play one the turn after/during. With that on the field, Boros Reckoner becomes a 6/6, Stormbreath jumps to 8/8, and Polukranos becomes a whopping 10/10. After that, if you're really needing it, lets pop Boros Charm on one of those to give them double strike. Domri and Courser compliment each other well because if your top cards is a creature and Courser is out, you'll know about it. Just use Domri's +1 ability to grab the creature, reveal your next top card, and hopefully it'll be a land.

Might I suggest Scavenging Ooze over Voice of Resurgence on the main board? Hear me out on this. You deck is a series of relevant threats, one after another, that typically are supposed to be good on their own, yet accept backup from the likes of Boros Charm well. Voice is a brilliant card, absolutely savage against control, but its primary weakness is that most decks in the metagame can ignore it completely and just pretend it's a bear. Scavenging Ooze, on the other hand, gets far too pesky without having your opponents deal with it and demands their attention. In a deck where your goal is to make every drop besides your Caryatid a threat, why play Voice over Ooze? Of course, leaving Voice on the sideboard is a good move, because again, it is fantastic against control. Also, might I suggest Assemble the Legion for your sideboard? Mono-Black Devotion literally has no answers for that spell.Also, it's easier to cast effectively. Just a point.

Ok I love the idea of Assemble in the board. I'll make room for it. Don't get me wrong, I was debating on Voice, Ooze, or Fleecemane Lion. I couldn't decide so I just stuck with Voice because...well, it's Voice. I'll try Ooze and Fleecemane both. See which one works better or which one I like better.
Sounds good, I would love to play against this deck. It's very linear, in a good way. Control is too convoluted and common these days.
Lol I usually play control of some kind. I love control decks, it's what I played when I first started and I really haven't stopped since, and this has been since 08. Every so often I'll run something different if I can get the cards for it but I'm not good at playing decks like this, usually because I don't really know how to play them.
Heh, I know the feeling, all of my non-standard decks are control, I just feel that the standard metagame is far too simple to be the proving grounds for a control deck. My 8-rack proactive deck is the closest thing I have to a semi-linear strategy outside of standard. Even my EDH decks are just a bunch of control decks. This kind of stuff I find fun in standard, Naya is just brutal. Blunt can be fun too :D
