I had a similar build but had the {ghostblade eidolon} and {eidolon of countless battles}

I found that both cost too much. The damage came out too slow and small.

Last night I got turn one tapped land. Turn two {hero of Iroas}, turn three {madcap skills}x2 and {ethereal armor} hit for 14 he chumped with two guys. The next turn I {magma jet}ed his blocker ony upkeep and scried for a land to draw, play, and tap for {boros charm} on hero hitting for 30.

Stuff like this happens all the time with this deck. Unfortunately at the TCG event i drew a ton of lands instead of spells three rounds in a row (7 games with 6 losses).

I really like this build. Nice job. I've been playing a g/w version that is pretty fun. May try and go NAYA with some if the ideas you've put together here. Hero end up being "the dudes rug" and really ties things together.

I'm surprised  {Chained to the Rocks} is in this deck.

Chained is good yes, but with hero out and the possibility of not having a mountain in play makes Pacifism the better choice. IMO.

Exactly my thoughts.

True, but  {Arrest} is better than pacifism.

Better but slower. Most games are over on my turn four or five. Thats not a whole lot of time for {arrest} to make an impact.
