Sureblade would be a good replacement for the Shieldmate, thanks for the suggestion

I wanted to put in Oubliette instead, so far the tests have been okay.
I accidentally deleted it, sorry! but I added the lands and Fencing Ace afterwards, thanks for the suggestions
That's a good point, I'll swap in Sage instead
I thought about Ascendancy yeah, but I felt like going for a more combat-heavy strategy
Something like Ajani's Welcome might help against aggro/burn, since the whole idea is to flood the board with lots of tokens.
I was considering Maul of the Skyclaves, yeah. Embercleave too obviously, but I have rotation in mind.
Ephemerate would definitely be better if I went Modern, but I'm thinking of keeping it Pioneer/Historic.Flicker of Fate could also save Anointed Procession in a pinch.
I like alliterative deck names, and with Azorius there was only one real option.
Thanks! :3 The mana base is the thing I'm uncertain of. I need to run it the deck more to figure out if I want to cut lands, which will give me more space to play with.
Unless I've completely misunderstood things, Enchantment Creatures (when Bestow is used) will cause cards like Satyr Enchanter to trigger, right? As will cards that care about noncreature spells?
The burning-fists were kinda pointless, so removed them and swapped some stuff around. Better?
Thanks! I definitely see the mana issue but I'm not sure if there's a solid way to solve it, due to how Explore works in the first place you know? But I might cut down on the sheer amount of Explore in the deck (since I have ways to recycle the explorers), and get a bit more room to play with.
Thank you very much for the suggestions and critique! I tried to challenge myself by sticking to Ixalan and Rivals ('cause I love the sets to death), but I'm gonna tinker with the deck anyway so I might expand to other sets.
Thanks, I'll make sure to check it out! This deck is definitely a WIP, and I was also thinking about adding some trample in to shore up some weak spots.
