Obviously, I need help with the Sideboard. All feedback is helpful. Thanks!
{Fleecemane Lion}? Maybe {Unravel the AEther} for SB.

Run {banisher priest} over fleecemane. Trust me, he's soooo much better. Not once (while I had the deck) did I reach for fleecemane over priest. If you get to 5+ mana in green white aggro it's already over, so your removal to get through is more important.
As an aggro player, i prefer a 3/3 that never goes monsterous for 2 over a 3 drop 2/2 i can never attack with.
I disagree with you

Yea banisher priest isnt really fitting in this deck MB, although it could be great SB after they take out a bunch of their removal due to your hexproofy deck

I would def say side in vs ramp decks like rg devo though, nice pickup :)
{alpha authority} would be a huge waste of 4 slots for 1 removal card to stay alive

Especially because I would only use it on {Hero of Iroas} and {Elvish Mystic}. I will probably do 4 {Banisher Priest}s in the SB. I don't want Priests in the main because it doesn't have hexproof and because the way this deck deals with creatures is {Selesnya Charm} and bashing them so that they are forced to block. I realize that it could take out blockers and win me the game more quickly, but {Unflinching Courage} and {Gift of Orzhova} get around blockers well enough. Also, I don't really like {Fleecemane Lion}. I was running it in the deck for since Theros came out and it always gets killed before I get it monstrous, unless I get it late game when it doesn't really matter. Yes, he survives board wipes, but the playset of {Indestructibility}s come in against any deck that has board wipes, and Satyr and Eidolon fall off even if they wipe, allowing me to bounce back quick and bash them.

Also alpha provides a kind of unblockable on your big dude with trample because the dude can't be blocked by more than one dude, so it's not just insurance on your priest.
What would I cut for it?

How bout this, try it with the fleecemanes one week, and the banisters the next and see which one works better. The priests will come out on top, but try it.
Or just make room for both and wreck face nonstop.
Splash red, boros charm and madcap skills is nuts in this deck... Boros will save u so much and provide a nice combat trick... And madcap skills gets crazy quick!!
Also with the red splash you can SB ghor clan rampager for those control matches to hit faster
Can't counter a blood rush :)

{Stifle} :P I have tried red in the deck and it makes it too inconsistent, especially because I need double green for {Witchstalker}, turn 3 (or, untapped {G} on T1 to play Mystic and get Stalker in sooner).
Ya I do the same thing in my naya hexproof deck, turn 2 Witchstalker... With shock lands I still get it pretty frequent... Prolly not as much... But enough to go 4-0 at FNM
Nothing really solves devour flesh its just a pain :( stupid devour fleshs
Quote from: Taysby on February 11, 2014, 10:47:57 PM
Also, hexproof doesn't solve {devour flesh}. Just FYI.
You have plenty of creatures to sac instead of your big one. {Elvish Mystic} for one. I have never had a {Devour Flesh} get me, if you have to, just flash in a 2/2 with {Selesnya Charm}.
{Plummet}s in the sideboard to take care of {Stormbreath Dragon} and {Desecration Demon}; {Glare of Heresy} takes care of {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}, {Detention Sphere}, etc.; and {Revoke Existence} is great considering this Enchantment/Artifact-heavy Standard we're in.
Sidenote: I LOVE SELESNYA HEXPROOF!
I love the rogues passage tech. Really thoughtful way to get in quickly.

Thanks, I'd love to take credit, but that idea came from a guy at the Theros pro tour. I does really help though.

Yes! And thanks for the tips :)
Bumping this. I'm extremely curious on how this deck fares in fnms. I going to my first fnm and this is my deck strategy with a few tweaks. Any tips against tough matchups?
I find Skylasher a nice sac outlet btw. Perfect for Dimir. I'm scared to go on an fnm with my deck though. :(
I guess no one is interested in Selesnya anymore...
