Deck Description

Basic Idea:
The idea for this deck came while looking at Basri's Lieutenant and having a stream running in which one of the players casts a mass-removal.

Price before adding special lands: 40$ (mid value)

Tests:
At the moment this deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

The idea for this deck to win is casting one (or more) Basri's Lieutenant, supporting you creatures with Basri's Solidarity/ Abzan Ascendancy and then cast Day of Judgment. If the plan works, the board will be empty, then filled with your 2/2 knight tokens (and 1/1 spirits if you have a Abzan Ascendancy on the field).
Smitten Swordmaster // Curry Favor can be used to finish damage your opponent.
Young Wolf and Butcher Ghoul should keep you alive through early game, while Gods Willing should keep your key-components alive.

Deck discussion for W/B/G: Basri's Lieutenant

It seems like a nice gameplan.
I would say you need some draw to get your day of judgement faster. Thraben inspector is one possibility.

Since you go b/w athreos you could go with the leyline gameplan. If you have 2 leyline of sanctity against burn and discard and 2 leyline of the void against graveyards you will be able to have an active athreos at turn 3 with some luck. (Be carefull that the Void isn't preventing any of your creatures from triggering. I haven't looked at the rules part of it)

If you want to be tournament ready you should try out testing against affinity/hardened scales, infect, humans and merfolk.

I was thinking to take either Gods Willing for protection or Bankrupt in Blood for carddraw, but without some tests it's hard for me to judge which one would be needed more. Thraben Inspector is a good idea as it adds another creature, but less carddraw. Will have to see to that.

Leyline of Sanctity is at least sideboard material, if I don't put it into mainboard. Leyline of the Void shouldn't keep my creatures from triggering as it says "opponents graveard" and all my cards interact with my own graveyard.

No, this is purely meant for kitchen table play, I added the proper tag.

Who looks at tags ;)
I didn't even see it was you, until I've commented and liked the deck.
I would have been less detailed because you know the game :)
