You are going to get killed by {Stormbreath Dragon} and {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}. I would splash red for {Mizzium Mortars}.

Thats why there's {celestial flare} and {sphere of safety} in there

Yeah, and I'm considering doing red when we see this new ajani, or maybe fated retribution in sideboard, which would be choice against red/green anyway

I really like this, I have been trying to design something similar. I may have to try this out at FNM next week...

Keep me posted  and let me know any changes you make and how you do

It's good.
Made my mono black aggro deck sweat all 3 games

Here is my idea of where the deck could go: run 4x {Sacred Foundry} and 4x {Temple of Triumph} in the mainboard. This would allow you to do some odd things with red in the sideboard, like run {Aurelia's Fury}, {Assemble the Legion}, {Boros Charm} (against control, running two sets of indestructibilities will destroy them) and a {Chained to the Rocks} (in the mainboard, instead of {Pacifism})

Can you do this with only 4 mountains?

I have been playtesting it with 2 {Chained to the Rocks} and 2 {Pacifism} and it has been working pretty well for me so far. I might add 2 Mountains though.

That sounds ok. I was thinking about the full set of them and was wondering how consistent that would be...

I am still working with it, and I am trying to make the sideboard so that game 2 it is a completely different deck, so they can't just board against me. Playing around with everything including {Foundry Champion}, {Acolyte's Reward} and {Auramancer}, I'll report on how it goes. The main deck I am working with is slightly different too, here are my changes (I don't know if I will keep it this way and some of these are meta calls):
-1 {Spirit of the Labyrinth}
-4 {Hero of Iroas}
-3 {Gift of Orzhova}
-8 Plains

+4 {Rootborn Defences} (way too many control decks in my area not to...)
+2 {Archetype of Courage} (I think with this dude, my match-ups against other creature deck are more one-sided)
+2 {Ajani's Chosen} (his is a ETB ability, so even {Heliod, God of the Sun's} ability triggers it and you can get a critical mass of tokens really quick)
+4 {Sacred Foundry}
+2 {Temple of Triumph}
+2 {Mountain}

Maybe no temples are really necessary it's pretty Aggro so four mountains instead of the temples might work

Like I said, still working on it. Also, my deck is more of a midrange.
