I chose {stromkirk noble} mainly because parish wouldn't fit this slot since its not a human deck because of dragon and angel limitations. I think he's a solid card especially with humans running all over the place. I like abolisher for delver and pod, lightning mauler helps anything that comes into play like a blade splicer next turn.
Everything else like lingering souls, ajani, o ring, and bonfires are what I consider to be those color staples. I think this would do well...but who knows until it's tried.
I like it, but why {lightning mauler}.
I think it has potential. Idk maybe it's because I love the card in limited. I think the potential of set up for turns to follow make it an exciting card..helps keep early pressure on. Then again, anything can be subject to counter and removal so by himself he isn't that great. He's honestly a card that I threw in there to make 56-60
If hellkite didnt have haste already id be all for the mauler. Well done though, that was quick
{Cloudshift} to double down on angel and dragon.

Well build your version, im interested what youd do with this challenge.
I was thinking of r/w human Flickr but the dragon and angel don't help any.
That could work still, resto and hellkite provide sky support and t4 resto and t5 kite is stupid strong.
Maybe {apostle's blessing} or {safe passage} to attack with more freedom?
I took out a land and lightning maiuler and put in 4 {incinerate} and 1 {searing spear}.
As good as ajani is, he needs to be in a creature heavy deck to really shine. Faster Aggro decks will eat him up in this. I've been play testing against UW delver and it's around 50/50.
What do people think about {Serra avenger} and {slumbering dragon}?

Ok now i want {favorable winds} in this challenge.
RWU haha.
I like this idea, so I opted for a slower pace control. Entreats and 4 bonfires should help. Plus putting in Gideon to help support slumbering dragon.
I'll continue to tinker to see what works well. I might even try to play this deck.
