I need a bit of feedback on it if anyone wants to give me any

LadyGrixis

One suggestion would be to take out the {Celestial Archon} and sub in something faster, since this is an Aggro deck. Maybe a {Xathrid Necromancer}, something with a lower CMC to boost your turnout.

Sparkle Ninja

I needed the flyers and I'm trying to keep the black creatures low

Sparkle Ninja

I'm thinking of putting some Xathrid Necromancers in the sideboard. The suggestion was much appreciated

LadyGrixis

How about {Daring Skyjek}, {Archangel of Thune} or {Cavalry Pegasus}?

They're all great substitutes with lots of potential/reach. The Skyjek & Pegasus fit more into the Aggro frame you're building, while Thune is just a BOMB that is really hard to deal with :) win con!

LadyGrixis

I would also take out a few Plains and add in {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}. You have PLENTY of land to take some out :) And with the Nykthos and your devotion to White, you should be good on mana to make room for more spells.

Sparkle Ninja

I was thinking of Nykthos but I realised it wasn't entirely necessary here but I'd consider it for my sideboard or even just to do exactly what you said. The archangel isn't really incredibly useful because the only really good source of life gain is the blind obedience and the vampire. cavalry pegasus is only until end of turn and I need flying for blockers

Sparkle Ninja

I like daring skyjek but I don't like that it is until end of turn

LadyGrixis

Well then Thune, if you could Nykthos into her quickly, would be a good flier/blocker. You could always sideboard things to deal with fliers as well.

Sidenote, you have things like {Doom Blade} and {Celestial Flare} to deal with fliers, so I wouldn't be that concerned ;) you're good there mate!

Sparkle Ninja

I'll try and get some for the mainboard. But what should I swap out?

+ 3 {Archangel of Thune}

- 3 {Celestial Archon}

Seems like a good trade off :)

I was also thinking of throwing in another gideon. What do you think?

LadyGrixis

One in the sideboard might be wise, but your mana curve (for an Aggro deck anyway) is already pretty high. So I'd probably just stick with one for now and playtest the heck out of it!
