So i've played probably 10 or 15 games with my soldier deck, and the whole idea to start off with was Iso + raise the alarm, but i never actually got that combo going. For that reason, i had mobiliazion (which helped me alot, since i was playing another token army.) First Strike + Vigilance really works great. I was thinking about using Endless Horizons too, because that would allow me to make a bunch of tokens every turn, and i could suspend Benalish for a long while. Door of Destinies also has a plus. If you get wrathed, and you only have 1 creature out, he still gets +7/+7 etc. =D Not true with coat of arms.

Dreamborn Muse is also your trump card kind of. If you splashed black in this, you could get all of the awsome milling cards, and you coult put in Beseech the Queen or Tutor, to get Muse to your hand and out my turn 4. I think you also need to keep up on drawing yourself. Ancestral Vision, Mulldrifter, and Tidings are good.
Shouldnt you be using Traumatize? Oona? Millstone? It looks like you're relying on the discard at the end step, and honestly i dont think that will work if someone has enoguh mana acceleration, or manages to get a big creature out. I know you'd be handing my treefolk deck the win.
Kinsbaile Cavalier, although that doesnt keep with the Human thing. I'd ask why keep it human, but im assuming its because of Coat of Arms. Paladin en-Vec is standard, so you should replace Paragon of the Amesha with him (i dont know if i missed something, but you cant produce one of each color of mana, so his effect is useless) You should include Path to Exile, for creature removal. Hail of Arrows was always a cool card IMO. With the mana acceleration you have, it might work out. Knight of the Reliquary, Endless Horizons and Light from Within might be good too.
Since you're running Isochron Scepter, Dawn Charm and Path to exile are really good cards. If you're opponent is running another creature deck and you dont have your bearings yet, you can have him go through and then all the damage can be prevented. Also, i run Icatian Javilineers and Goldmeadow Harrier (or whipchorder) in my soldier deck to put a little bit more control. Door of Destinies might be a better choice than coat of arms. Its slower to get moving, but fortunatley it doesnt do anything for your opponent. If you're playing another tribal deck it might make your defeat. No mobilization?
Start getting 4 copies of the good stuff. 1/2 of your deck is lands, and having 1 copy of everything means that being able to draw something is slim to none, expecially without Harbinger. If for some reason you need 32 lands, ambush commander is something that might help. 4 Imperious Perfect, 4 Elvish Champion, 4 Llanowar Elves, are a must (IMO). LLanowar Reborn is also a cool land.
Just saying, i heard somewhere that when you come up with an infinite combo, its an automatic draw. If thats true, then technically you couldn't win with this (atleast not very often).
I think some of your creatures are really high mana cost. Scion, Visara, Phage and Nightmare are all like 6+ cards? I suppose Cabal Coffers and deathrender would help with that, but i dunno. I dont have experience with those cards, so i cant say how well they'll work out. I actually made a black control deck like this recently. Tendrils of corruption is a great card (since you're not keeping to standard). IMO, korlash is better than nightmare, but in order for the granduer effect to be effective you need to run 4 of him. For your purposes, Nightmare might be better beacuse of the mana acceleration of Dark Ritual and Cabal Coffers. Beseech the queen is also something to look into. Night's whisper is a must IMO, deathmark should be in your sideboard, and look into Liliana.

Since you're actually playing spells instead of relying on tokens, i'd swap out Coat of Arms for a Door of Destinies or four. Theres gotta be some other rat cards you could put in here.
I was thinking about doing a u/w flying deck a long time ago, but never got around to it. Not 2 minutes ago i was thinking to myself "Gosh i wish i had a deck that i could use Plumeveil and Wall of Denial in" and here they are! This is a really cool deck, but i wonder why not include Rune Snags instead of unsummon? I rarely find someone who can pay the mana, and its a common card (if you were worrying about price, not sure beacuse of the lands). Leonin Skyhunter is also beastly, a 2/2 flyer for 2 mana is great, what more to ask for... haste? =D Im sure if you were interested you could add black to the mix and put in specters and the like. Defense, Flyers, and making your opponent discard would be cool. Anyway, glad to see this deck out there. Good job!
This is actually really cool. I like the low mana cost. Godsire is a really cool card to me, and i guess he'd be the reason why i would want to make a naya deck. Have you considered adding spellbreaker behemoths? 5/5 for 4 mana and it prevents all your 5/5s from being countered. I suppose with faeries still lurking about, it might be wise to at least have some in your side board?
