So, I threw this together and am starting to test it on MtGO.  Thoughts?  It's a modified net deck from some time ago.  Criticism welcome!

16 {Plains}
4 {Mutavault}
20 Lands

4 {Boros Elite}
4 {Soldier of the Pantheon}
4 {Judge's Familiar}
4 {Dryad Militant}
4 {Precinct Captain}
4 {Daring Skyjek}
3 {Imposing Sovereign}
2 {Banisher Priest}
2 {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}
32 Creatures

4 {Brave the Elements}
2 {Spear of Heliod}
1 {Return to the Ranks}
2 {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}
9 Non-Creature Spells

1 {Aegis of the Gods}
2 {Reprisal}
3 {Rootborn Defenses}
3 {Revoke Existence}
1 {Last Breath}
4 {Fiendslayer Paladin}
1 {Banishing Light}
15 Sideboard

Msorbet

Precinct captain over the arrester

Closing Time

I wouldn't play Loyal Pegasus as it can't attack until turn 3. Instead I'd play Raise the Alarm.

Taking all suggestions into consideration!  Some M15 things I'm considering are {Return to the Ranks}, {Ajani Steadfast}, and possibly {Preeminent Captain}.

I think this deck looks good, but has no way to prevent golgari charm, and the other 3 mana -2/-2. Saying this, I think you need to either make this deck resilient to golgari charm, by playing something like return to the ranks, or try to beat them before they play it which is touch because it is 2 mana. I recommend having allot of other ways to comeback from wipes, because -1-1 goes through indestructible.

#5
{Banishing light} is also a good sb card.
{reprisal} is very good in the monsters match ups;)
{celestial flare} is good for naya aura decks
{last breath} is good for aggro and opposing mutavalts

-1/-1 on a 1/1 indestructible does not cause it to die..
You can only exile indestructible..

indestructible states any effect or amount of damage that would destroy a card with indestructible doesn't destroy it. the only to kill a card that is indestructible would be to exile it, remove it from the game, or reduce its toughness to 0 if it's a creature. (Grasp of Darkness )

Wrong, -1 -1 can put toughness to 0. Trust me I'm an experienced player xD

This is true.

Bit of an overahaul:
-3 {Azorius Arrester}
-4 {Loyal Pegasus}
+1 {Return to the Ranks}
+3 {Precinct Captain}
+3 {Aegis of the Gods}


SB
-3 {Glare of Heresy}
-4 {Keening Apparition}
-3 {Acolyte's Reward}
+2 {Reprisal}
+3 {Rootborn Defenses}
+1 {Aegis of the Gods}
+3 {Revoke Existence}
+1 {Banishing Light}

Is there a reason to main deck aegis of the gods? If I were you I'd play 2 tops (if any) and 4 captains.

It's a 2 power beater that covers me from burn and {Thoughtseize}. I could drop one for a Captain. I'm not sold on them yet.

Er... Wait. Does tseize get around it?

Hexproof says: cannot be the target of a spell or ability. I'm pretty sure thougtseize targets but idk. If it did not target it might say something like: the player of your choice. But I don't know.

Well, if seize gets around it, I'll definitely drop all main deck aegis and just SB two for the burn match up. Mono B devotion is still so big that I want to have some anti seize things main deck.

As for golgari charm and {Drown in Sorrow}, I'm at a loss. {Return to The Ranks} seems to be my only option. Considered adding a couple {Dauntless Onslaught} SB, but decided against it.
