Hm.. midnight haunting will most likely give you a better head start. Also, if you choose to replace the white suns with midnight hauntings, then you will have no need to look out for memorials. Anyways, about what the above guy said, you should definitely replace two of your war and peaces with feast and famines. Although war and peace gives slightly better abilities, the protection you get from feast and famine is incredibly important. Anyways, I understand you want a cat theme with your deck, but I really do think white suns may be a bit slow with twenty lands in the deck. Same with true conviction. If you find you are having mana troubles, replace white suns with midnight haunting(plus its an instant!) and the true conviction with more equipment, since sunspear shikari goes really well with equipment. And if you do get more equipment, you can easily replace the stave offs with puresteel paladins. But if you don't, then you should definitely get faiths shield. That card screwed me over a few times due to its ability.

Well, I really like midnight haunting. More so than a lot of other token producers in standard. But I must say, lingering souls has way more card advantage, and is usually better in a deck that involves both colors.
could you post ulasht himself either in your sideboard(preferred) or in your deck?
Actually, while this deck is good, a lot of the standard decklists I see online are a bit more solid. Those decks use more ramp and the addition of cards such as ezuri, predatory rampage(rarely, but sometimes) and soul of the harvest, which allows you to play out your deck pretty fast. But I do like this build, especially the addition of glissa.
I just thought why not? and went for murder, so that everything dies to it. I don't wanna have to sideboard in different removal or anything.
I love it. very interesting idea!
Phthisis is pretty kickass. If you want to get it out faster, I think you should add in four hexmages.
nah. you play your weenies, I blasphemous act for small amounts of mana, and you take 13 from stuffy. Also, protection won't save you from global effects.
love dem goblins :) I run a mono red goblin deck in standard with 4 krenkos and 2 burn at the stakes. On a good hand it overwhelms. However, I did deal over three billion damage(not exaggeration, understatement) with it the other day. And that Is why I love them gobbies.
wheres the yeva?
lord of atlantis is not modern. Here is my merfolk build, it's a lot like yours! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=363159
looks troublesome. You only had three swamps with three colors and two double black cards. How did you do?
looks good. Conjurers closet is a nice touch!
I think you should go through with getting invisible stalker. put in four of him, and I suppose you could take out your two paladins, since they cost WW and I doubt it would be that easy to get them out turn two.
I like this idea. Maybe champion of the parish, or some counterspells?
Hm... -3 islands +3 vials
Well, it looks like you've got a lot to take care of. What I think you should do is replace one township with a cathedral of war. Some cards you might wanna consider taking out are descendants path, the burdens, the three rebukes, you might want to consider taking out the blessings of nature, but you don't have to. Some solid removal is oblivion ring, prey upon, and maybe the white miracle card from avacyn restored. Also, when looking at my deck and all the suggestions people have, you can probably find inspiration. Thanks for looking at my G/W Aggro build!
Thanks guys! I'm thinking once return to ravnica comes out, there will probably be some more token bombs like there was last time, so I may or may not re-design my deck then, and will probably end up taking out the parishes and gathers. But thats only if there are good token cards coming out.
If only I had the money for that! But you have a good point about the cathars crusade, definitely not something I was ever gonna plan to look out for. So, I think for now I will try to fit in the pilgrim. I think for that I will pull out one land,(keep getting flooded when I playtest with my current build, which is 24 lands) One rampage, the devotion, and I guess a doomsayer. I'll consider doing something along those lines. I used to own a silverblade, but I traded it away, and those things are going for around 6 dollars a piece. Also, I've been trying to get Thalia, but the one person who owned a playset they were willing to trade was a beginner who didn't understand how most of the cards that would benefit him worked, so that has been a failure. To top it off I used to own 3 restorations, now I own 0.(partly because my dad sold 2 of them to fund FNM) So what I'm trying to say here is that I used to own a lot of major parts to this kind of aggro deck, but traded them away before I got the idea for this deck.
test of endurance may not be a card quite suitable for this deck. solemn offering is for the sideboard. Ajani, caller of the prides would fit nicely here. Also, maryr of sands allows you to hit for big damage with the ascendant second turn! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=359540
