I'm running a very similar list, do you find that faith's shield is useful?

Very, it keeps my early game too strong

Wanna kill or bounce something back?
Nope

Wanna chump block to stall? Nope

It keeps me in lethal range if I can hold one or two in hand for game clinchers

I'll have to run some play tests, right now I'm using 3 {selesnya charm}, 4 {rancor} and 1 {azorius charm} (which I never use)

1 azorius won't do any good, only thing it would provide is draw, which you don't really need depending in your opening hand

I agree, I put in some {cloudshift} for now till I can get my hands on some {faiths shield}

Cloud shift is decent, it would be good on resto angel or swagtusk

Provides stalling

Yeah definitely, I just liked the idea of getting attacks through better with the faiths shield

Faiths shield is a game changed, no doubt

Placed top 4 at my first FNM attempt with this deck, very happy.

Mothaelon

Only decks that give me trouble are jund midrange/control and bant midrange/control

Any suggestions in how to keep up with the mid-late games for these decks?

Took out silverhearts and gonna play relentless, he pings centaur healers for me or can ping thragtusks, or he can ping an early blocker or he can just spawn me tokens which is what I want most

I'd use primal hunter, but his 3 green makes me feel he won't be easy with my mana base
