Blood Baron seems a little out of place in this deck as he cannot be enchanted by your Courage or Armor.

But he can be with Rancor and Authority, as well as bonded to the Paladin. He's more of a backup win con. And I'm honestly torn between him and Varolz. Especially since Varolz can survive Verdict and such.

Taking this to FNM tonight. I'm curious to see what people think of the following idea to go against board removals. Similar to Wolf Run Bant, but instead, drop the Alpha Authority, and add 3 Farseeks. Change my Island and Swamp for a Red mana source(preferably a shock land). And drop Stab Wound for Legion's Initiative. Opponent goes to board wipe, I just exile my guys, and bring them back later. Think this might be viable?

I recommend 4 voice of resurgence mainboard instead of high priest. And also maybe find a way to fit {Strangleroot Geist} in. Those changes will make your deck much more resilient and less prone to removal.

Sadly, only own the 2 Voices right now. High Priest is there as the main target of my auras. Beef him up, let him attack/block and then blow up their stuff. I kind of wanted to limit the creatures, but I could see where adding Strangleroot would help.

 {Ring of Xathrid} would be really cool on the priest.
