Selesnya Hexproof/ G/W Weenie build. This is a Tier 1 deck w/o staple Voice of Resurgence. I know VoR is a solid play in here but due to budget currently, I am making due without it. The avg CMC is close to 2. This fast played deck is aggro enough without need of Temple Garden but if you feel the need, please feel free to attempt it with the TG in place of the Temple of Plenty and let me know how it plays.
It is essential to get the mystic in order to enable a turn two Loxodon Smiter or Witchstalker which gives you a major advantage of playing out the control decks. Pithing needle is great for keeping Bant Walkers at bay, and stopping pivotal cards for mono-black like Underworld connections, Pack Rat, and stopping their momentum not to mention other troublesome planeswalkers. Deicide is the new God stopping card from Nyx, that aids you in eliminating Xenagos God of Revels, Iroas God of Victory, and helps keep mono-black's play of Erebos and thus keeping your life gain going with Unflinching Courage. This would nullify the need for Revoke Existence. Celestial Flare is great against matchups where a player has creatures that are difficult to answer to like Blood Baron, Lifebane Zombie, Aetherling and Stormbreath Dragon. Banishing light is great against control like D-Sphere, and a solid answer to Elspeth or Jace. Selesnya Charm is great against Desecration Demon, Pesky Polukranos, and Gods that meet their devotion. You would want to bring Soldier of the Pantheon in against Esper Control, G/R/B Monsters and decks that use dreadbore as well as Abrupt decay. It would also be solid against Mirrored Decks. Have fun and please let me know what you think about the build.

I will post an update tonight after I play it in FNM at my local shop so I can let you know how it did.
Well Friday, I went 3-1-1 with the deck..Not too shabby. I think the sideboarding needs some more time with experience of what works vs. each deck and what doesn't. Rd 1. (1-2) Mono black Devotion- I lost the first game due to Desecration Demon. I sideboarded pithing needle for pack rat, and mutavault. Second game I won with 24 life in my total. The third game I finished with Celestial Flare sided in and forcing him to sack his D. Demon and Nightveil Specter. Unfortunately, I lost that game with him down to 3 life. Rd 2. (1-0-1) U/W/R Control- The first game he had no chance, and I swapped the game aggro like hell with my life untouched. Game 2, He sided in more removal and another Elspeth. No worries as Banishing light took care of that and he ran out of things to detention sphere, and sadly this game went down to the end of the clock as he milked the time and I just never got the draws necessary for the win. This round actually upset me as the player deliberately slow played the clock to ensure a tie. We had less than 2 mins left to even get the final game going.Rd 3. (2-1) Esper Control- First round I won with him having trouble dealing with my witchstalker loaded up with Boon Satyr, unflinching courage, and 2 Ethereal Armor. Second round I had to mulligan down to five and all the creatures I could get were removed by Thoughtseize and he had Aetherling Early in the game. Third game, mana come plentiful for me but that couldn't be said for my opponent. I hit the board with 3 Witchstalker and when he thoughtseized me all I had in my hand was the two loxodon smiter, and that allowed me to play one for free and win the game with 20 life remaining. Rd 4. (2-0) Rakdos Aggro- I barely survived the first game with 2 life with the first win. Second game I was able to Banishing light his only 2 creatures on the board and this paved the way to a turn 7 win.Rd 5. (2-1) W/G/B Ajani Junk- We had already decided to split the pot for the winnings, but when we played the whole 3 games, I won 2-0 and played a third game for fun and I lost that one with mana being slim for grabs.
