Cool deck.  How often do you find yourself with an extra {Mikaeus, the lunarch} in your hand that you either can't cast cuz one is in play or you don't cast him cuz you have better options?  Those types of cards should be added as a 2 of or 3 of at max.  You could run 2 {silver-inlaid dagger} and 2 Mickey instead.  The dagger is nuts when you give someone doublestrike with Ajani or {silverblade paladin}

You need 3-4 {sublime archangel}
And why is this not in standard?

I was gonna suggest that too but the angel will bring his average CMC up considerably.....maybe if he took out some higher CMC to swap in the angels.  Also {doomed traveler} would be good and it will help round off your average CMC.

I will move this to standard since it is where it belongs.

Ah, nothing like a good old infinite combo.
I recommend {Butcher's Cleavers}.
I do not see a benefit of doing a fiend hunter/restoration angel/oblivion ring loop though.

I don't see the combo.... {Fiend hunter} {Restoration Angel} and O Ring you say?
I know you can do resto in response to first trigger and get one perma exiled creature and one normal exile on fiend hunter, but I see no inf combo

I'd say {sublime archangel} would fit nicely but you'd have to swap out a higher Cmc card and u also want some more 1 Cmc maybe like {doomed traveller}

Wow, I had no idea that I posted this! Ha, just downloaded the app and was playing around with it aimlessly. I like the idea of adding two off the daggers, thanks! And I had 4 doomed travelers in here to start and replaced them for some reason, I just made the deck the other day so I haven't had a chance to test it out much yet... But I definitely think I'll add the doomed travelers back, I was worried about not having enough one drops anyway

Okay,
1. How do I modify the deck so that the one you guys see gets changed too?
2. I thought about adding sublime archangel too, but am not sure what would be best to replace, I'm assuming a restoration angel or two? Or all of them?
3. My best option for putting in doomed traveler would be replacing nearheath pilgrim, correct?

Sorry, like getting input, I'm very indecisive

When you edit your deck change the format to Standard instead of Casual and it should post your changes here.

I use the fiend hunters with {Oblivion Ring}s and {Leonin Relic-Warder} for the same effect.

Now that I modified this, it's been really fun to play with =] super consistent

The infinite combo is 3 {Fiend Hunters}, or 2 {Restoration Angels} + 1 {Fiend Hunter}.

Bury a previously played FH (I) under a FH (II). Then put out an FH (III) targeting (II). (I) now enters the battlefield, targets (III). (II) returns and targets (I).

Wash, rinse, repeat.

RA can be used, too (which means you can gain infinite life from the {Seraph Sanctuary}).

For 2 RA:
Exile RA1 with FH.
Play RA2, flicker FH.
RA1 returns to play. Its effect is on the stack.
Exile RA2 with FH.
RA1's ability resolves, flicker FH.
RA2 returns to play.

And so on and so forth.

So if I wanna see this fun combo would I wanna run 4 of each? Or 4 FH and 3 RA? I have 2 sanctuaries right now, should I run 4 of those as well, with the cathedral of war and cavern of souls that I already have?

Again, its been a long time since I've played, my roommate got me really back into it, I'm obsessing hardcore. Ha, just a little rusty
