Heliod, God of the Sun and Serra's Sanctum?

[Tomzgen]

Those two sound like a good idea. Will make changes soon to see the impact on the card distribution and perhaps the cost of the deck. Want to keep that as low as possible

[Bartley]

in that case you will prob wanna pass on Serra's Sanctum.  its like 30 bucks lol

[Tomzgen]

Serra's would be out of the question anyway, noticed it isnt a modern card

[G. Moto]

have you considered playing any of the white enchantment eidolon spirits? They all have really good effects and cards like aegis of the gods has a great effect as well.

[Tomzgen]

Tbh, I dont really know how to fit that card in. The whole point of the deck is to buff creatures with heroic, so aegis of the gods kinda doesnt fit the bill. It is a good card though

[G. Moto]

It keeps you safe while your warriors fight your battles. Though your creatures are doing the majority of the fighting for you do not forget that you're  the target (this isn't yugioh). But some good cards to add would be auramancer, archetype of courage, battlewise valor, eidolon of countless battles, fabled hero, font of vigor, ghostblade eidolon, glimpse the sun god, god-favored general, gods willing, griffin dreamfinder, setessian battle priest, silent sentinel, and sunbond are all good additions that would assist in your deck. They all have the mono-white look your deck is running, they play well with other enchantments and they add strength to your deck. But personally if your gonna run phalanx leader you should add some instant and sorcery spells just to add protection to the deck and help with the +1/+1 multiplication. What are your thoughts on these cards?

[Tomzgen]

I indeed have added some cards to the deck, namely Archetype of Courage, Battlewise Valor, Fabled Hero, Gods Willing and Setessan Battle Priest, but I feel the other cards are missing the point of the deck tbh. It isnt about enchantments, but about triggering Heroic and multiplying counters with Gleam of Authority

However, those other cards are giving me an idea about making a complete enchantment deck.

[G. Moto]

That is good thinking, and also some enchantment decks work best when using multiple colors so it'd be a good chance to try out some new or old card combos. Also for this deck you should try adding some of the white bolster cards from the Tarkir block. They are low drop instances and sorcery spells and they give your creatures +1/+1 counters. Try putting feat of resistance in this deck and you will see immediate improvement.

[Tomzgen]

Feat of Resistance is actually really good for this deck. Thanks for the tip!

Edit: I have revised the deck, removing some enchantments to emphasize the counters more, including Feat of Resistance. I actually added some plains as well, as I felt that my opening hand had often too few lands in it.

[Tomzgen]

I actually overhauled quite a bit of the deck. It is now far more in line with my counter strategy, including test of faith and defiant strike (to keep my hand from going too empty)

Edit: tbh I am thinking about removing both setessan battle priest for 2 more gods willing so I can increase the survivability of my creatures slightly. I would love some input on that on the revision of the deck so far

[G. Moto]

I'll be going to work in a few hours but when I get back home I'll take a look at the deck you revised. I live on the east coast and I usually get home around 11:30pm eastern time if that means anything to you (time zone wise).

[Tomzgen]

It's all good, all in your own time!

[G. Moto]

I saw the deck and I am impressed by the improvements that you have made. Good job. If you can find more instances and/or artifacts that give your creatures first strike (besides the creature that you just added) then it'll help your creatures survive longer on the field until it arrives. Also consider the possibility of combating flyers. I don't believe that white has cards that make you "fight" with creatures but you can add cards in the side board such as Gideon's reproach and devouring light to handle flyers and/or heavy threats.
