{eidolan of countless battles} is such a house.

I've actually found it to be the worst card in the deck. In testing I've shaved it down to a 2 of

{Feat of Resistance} >  {Ajani's Presence}

Absolutely not. End hostilities is a thing. Strive is a thing. 1 vs 2 cmc is most certainly a thing. I'm actually bumping presence to a 3 of and cutting an eidolon for my list

I think if I were to cut eidolon, I'd add more creatures. The problem with these 20/20/20 decks is that if you creatures, it won't be fun. No spells, won't be fun. No lands, won't be fun. You could say this about anything else, but it really applies with this deck. In something like Abzan midrange, if you don't draw creatures, your early removal will buy you time. No spells, beat with fatties.

Tl;Dr: maybe try {fabled hero} over eidolon

Eidolon is an aura 99.9% of the time anyways

Bump

I still think {fabled hero} deserves a spot
