My only gripe about the deck is that it seems like it is fighting against itself. Like it wants to be aggro but it wants to be control also. A lot of creatures but then you {supreme verdict} and boom all your own creatures are dead, also {one speaker} is a good card but not really at all aggro, very defensive which is more of a control card. Same with {sphinx revelation}, if you leave the game that long that you can play that card in an "aggro" deck then it is doing something wrong. I think it is more "midrangey" (if that's a word! Haha)

But it is cool to surprise everyone with the words azorious and aggro in the same sentance!

I'd say the detain mechanic is Azorious Aggro's best friend. {Azorious arrester} proves to be defense and offensive. {Hands of binding} is nice too :)

These cards are much less control and much more tempo

Well Ive got to say I kinda disagree  haha  this is aggro.  {frontline medic} attacks with two buddies making all of them indestructible.  then comes the wipe!
sphinx is more of a draw card to refill my hand, everything comes down pretty quick plus the gaining of life helps the angel trigger. 
{omen speaker} is the one card I'm a little torn about...  maybe something better in place... hmmm?

With all the creatures, I'd cut the supreme verdicts down to 1-2 copies.

Yup not a bad call. Updated a little. The Pegasus gives the army a bit of evasion. Also added gods willing for more protection.
