Since you have quite a bit of spells that target. I think  {Favored Hoplite} Might be better than soldier.

I'll try it out. The soldier is a vital piece when it comes to combat against creatures like {Fleecemane Lion}, {Rakasha Deathdealer}, and {Siege Rhino}.

What is your answer to {drown in sorrow} or {anger of the gods}? I understand that you don't have a side board yet but it looks like you just die to it unless you have a trick up at all times. Deck looks like it doesn't have a lot of reach

{Drown in Sorrow} ruins me unless I use enough little spells, same with {Anger of the Gods} but {Ajani's presence} can usually save one or two guys.
And the sideboard is really tentative right now. {Stoke the Flames}, and {Lightning Strike} for {Mantis Riders}.

Why? I can see the trample being relevant but it is by no means a {dynacharge}. I wouldn't take out creatures. 12 creatures for an aggro is really low. You will end up with a hand of pump and protection with little creatures to use them on

I know, this is still a work in progress, but if you have any better 1 drop suggestions I'll test them out. {Saytr Hoplite} maybe?

You have 1 drops covered. If anything you can swap the hoplite for another 1 drop. I would look into {fleece mane lions} gives your deck a little more reach. It's a 2 drop for a 3/3 and can still be targeted for all your spells. Best part is he is like 3 bucks right now too. I would run more creatures though. You can put in x4 satyr hoplite and fleecmane and cut a few things and you'll have 20 creatures and spells to keep them

{Fleece mane} was a bit too slow, although it helps out a lot late game. {Akroan Crusader} is working fairl well from the tests I've done with it.

I wish you great luck in finding a way around drown in sorrow and anger. I also wish you luck in finding a good midrange and late game reach with this deck
