Banisher priest seems like an odd fit but it helps me keep my opponents bombs off the field and if there's a phalanx leader out there the priest ends up rather large. Basically I had to find a way to slow/stop my opponents board, banisher and pacifisms do that for me...and surprisingly every time I draw one of the two I'm happy about it.

Also did you cut {Dragon Mantle} and {Chosen by Heliod} I thought you said that you had them
in there

I honestly want them both in there and will be trying to find a way to fit them. The card draw from both helps so much in this deck

Also {dragon mantle} on {fabled hero}....dirty.

Ya it looks like a sick deck. Just wondering how often you get Aurelia out?

A lot surprisingly. But only If it last that long. When she hits the board it's been game over almost every time. She won't be coming out as I haven't lost a game yet when she's out. Mana is nvr a problem in this deck bc the mana curve is sick. Average mana cost in this deck is like 2.16 so 2 Aurelia's aren't too bad in here. Also I almost cut  {Anax and Cymede} but didn't bc I like targeting him late game for trample, noticed most people don't expect me to target him after targeting phalanx over and over.

Ya I'm actually really liking your build!

Have you thought about {Gods Willing} for some protection?

Yes I tried it as a 4 of at first...since it'll keep my creature alive and trigger heroic and after play testing it went to a 3 of then a 2 of and then none lol. It's helpful at times but in the long run it didn't make the cut. It's place was taken by {boros charm}. Btw {boros charm} is BOSS in this deck...that instant speed double strike is insane...and it's other abilities...shut your lips.

Yep {Boros Charm} is one of the top charms out there.

Also what about {Legion's Initiative} it's probably not a good fit but it's a small pump and protection if you don't draw charms

I tried {legions initiative} as a 2 of but it rarely helped me. I always ended up wishing I drew something else. The flicker effect is nice but you also have to remember that once you do it you'll lose all enchantments and +1/+1 counters.

Which is why I didn't think that it would be bad. What else have you tried/changed?
