I like it. Enchants boost small creatures for lethal damage. Seems to run pretty fast with a few sample hands drawn and looking over the next few turns. Good idea. Mind looking at any of my decks and give input.

I would run Detention Sphere for sure and Oblivion Rings are a must have.
Detention Sphere is a little more than I want to run, but I have been highly debating on getting a few at some point. I do have the O-rings in the sideboard, mainly to replace the Bonds of Faith if I feel that they are beginning to become less useful. My biggest worry in the entirety of Standard are Board Wipes, like Supreme Verdict, so I'm trying to keep a mindful conscious of that in putting together my Sideboard.
Thalia is very good at slowing down the control players sweepers. Rootborn defenses makes your creatures indestructible, so they would survive any sweeper aside from mutilate. Since your creatures are all humans, I would consider Champion of the parish over Nearheath Pilgrim, and bring in the Pilgrim against aggro decks so you can out race them.
Somehow I completely missed that my deck is full of Humans...I don't know how I missed that. Well, Champion it is!
Looks fun to play because of how fast it can run. Boosting small creatures with different abilities seems fun.
Rootborn Defences or Safe Passage works good as a sideboard against sweepers :)Its funny, I started thinking about building something very similar yesterday, but I have some more expencive cards so I was thinking running Silverblade Paladin instead of Nearhearth, and Traft instead of Fencing Ace :PThis looks nice as is though :)
Rootborn Defense and Safe Passage only work well against certain types of sweepers. A counter spell, such a Negate, will cover all of my bases when it comes to board wipers. I actually have another deck very similar to what you were thinking about building that uses Traft. I just like to think of this as a working Budget version.
I like Tricks of the Trade over spectral flight - same damage output but better evasion. Although it costs more, you don't have anything else in your deck over 3 mana, which I would say you could really run 20 lands, especially with curiosity drawing you cards
Tricks of the Trade is a decent option, but personally, I do prefer Spectral flight for a few reasons. Spectral Flight is cheaper, and on the creature that I most want to use it on, it's not redundant. It also allows me to BLOCK fliers if I need to, which is something that I always seem to run in to issues with. I mean, sure, having the unblockable ability is a wonderful thing, but at the cost of an additional mana, it's kind of a waste, I find. I do feel like I need to rearrange some of my creatures in the deck. The Pilgrim and Wingcrafter seem to be probably just a little bit underwhelming, and stealer of Secrets may not be quite what I need to be looking at for a creature.
I made up a similar deck to your on a program called Cockatrice (WWW.cockatrice.de) what I did was change around the sideboard a little (adding Elite Inquisitor rest in peace and a few others, I also took out bonds of faith and fencing ace and ran 20 lands (-2 Islands)to put in two bittersqual four syncopate and four cyclonic rift, I've tried it and it works very well.
I have a personal vendetta against Syncopate, I guess. For some reason, I just really dislike it as a counter spell. I'd much prefer Dissipate or, in this case, Negate. To me, they just seem more aggro oriented, and are more of what I'd be looking for. The Bonds of Faith just have so much flexibility in a deck like this, because they are buffs spells for your creatures, and will generally be a Pacifism for your opponents. Fencing Ace also just gives that extra little bit of power to the enchantments since he has a built-in Double Strike.
how about some silverblade paladins?
I'm a real stickler when it comes to using double mana costs like the Paladin in a multi-color deck like this, but in all honesty, the Paladin would be strictly better than the Stealer of Secrets as your 3-drop creature. Then you'd just need to swap out an Island for an additional Plains probably.
