It's performed well against my local FNM, the weakest point being the enchantments that I'm working on getting 3 more of always watching! Suggestions are welcome!

Aether vial or cavern of souls. Just tossing that out there

I'm actually ordering some vials since they don't seem to be dropping anytime soon! Souls keep rising unfortunately!

It's been a while since I did a deck breakdown of this level.

18 {Plains}

You're trying to cast {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} and multiple 4 drops of this much land? No can dosby baby.

2 {Odric, Lunarch Marshal}: Underwhelming. Most of your creatures have built in abilities anyways, this won't increase your damage output, and it's too much mana for stats. Unless you have a viable /and consistent/ hexproof, double strike or indestructible. Even then kinda meh.

4 {Elite Inquisitor}: Just wanted to say I've never seen this card and it sounds like one of the best two drops ever. Even without the protection. However it does become redundant with some of your widespread buffs.

4 {Soldier of the Pantheon}: Is there really that much multicoloured? Off the top of my head this is dodging {Electrolize}. That's it. Not a bad one mana 2/1, but can you do better?

1 {Sublime Archangel}: entered twice in different slots. Are you ever really in a situation where one swing is better than firing everything?

2 {Field Marshal}: I feel like you might want more.

4 {Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit}: good card, but four feels like too many.

1 {Kytheon, Hero of Akros}: I want to see more of him. Feel like he's worth another slot or two?

1 {Angelic Overseer}: I feel like this is a very solid card, how does it perform?


4 {Rest in Peace}: Four? Main board? Why‽ it's redundant of you draw more than one. Unless your meta is full of GY shenanigans I'd have it as a two or three of in the side.

2 {Divine Deflection}: I don't feel like you want to hold mana for this. Ever. Has it been working?

2 {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}: love this card to death. Love to see it in a good home.

2 {Devouring Light}: should be {Path to Exile} or something.

1 {Always Watching}: I'd say more but...

1 {Honor of the Pure}: One copy‽ why? I'd think 3-4 easy.

Is your problem with enchantments you not having them or?

I can't see your sideboard but may I suggest,

Meta tweaking first.

{Rest in Peace} as I mentioned.

{Fracturing Gust} lots of affinity type decks. Rip.

{Stony Silence} Thopter sword rip. It's quite prevalent with the unbanning for now. Police screws over Tron and Affinity.

{Leyline of Sanctity}

Some {Disenchant} effect.

You may already have a sideboard full of goodies in which case, I'd like to see it. I normally hate white weenies but I dig this deck.

loving this breakdown! And my local meta is chalk full of gy shenanigans so that's why I've upped the  {Rest in Peace} and enchantments are a problem because I haven't got them all that I want!  {Divine Deflection} usually works to keep lightning bolts from being total killers by leaving open two mana at least I limit the damage with the bonus of dealing out a ping of damage or two in the process. It's only been a recent add since locals started burning:/. I agree with putting in some path's! As for the Overseer she honestly has been an extreme help for delver decks!

[ELLERfeller]

As for replacing  {Soldier of the Pantheon} what would take its place as a 2/1 protection from multicolored? The protection is just a bonus but if there are other options I'd consider them! I just like pumping out guys to fuel anafenza and Thalia's LT
