I agree, you can probably keep the BoP.

Onto some other ideas....  I think you might be a bit too spread out.  With essentially two of everything and then a few one-ofs you won't end up having a lot of consistency, it might be better to focus your efforts in a few places, rather than trying to account for everything all at once.

From my experience, Roaring Primadox can be amazing!  But you also have to realize that he can easily lead to your downfall.  Have a BoP, Elvish Visionary and Primadox out, if they are able to play something like Mutilate or a burn spell to take out more than one small creature, like Arc Trail or Rolling Temblor, even if it wouldn't take out Primadox, it might as well have, because you're going to have to return it to your hand at the beginning of your next turn, meaning you'll need to reuse all of your mana to recast it or something else in your hand.

But, if you do plan to keep the Primadoxs around, there are a few other options you could look at as well, because there are a lot of great ETB effects that you could make use of.  Acidic Slime, Craterhoof Behemoth,Mindclaw Shaman & Zealous Conscripts to name a few.  Additionally, there are a few great cards that you could add that will help in a similar manner.  For instance, Champion of Lambholt - every time you bounce and recast a little guy you make your bigger guys more unblockable.  Angel's Tomb - You're already recasting creatures every turn, and this provides a great creature for that environment that is immune to Sorcery speed removal.  Lightning Mauler - Bounce it and recast to automatically give whatever else you're going to cast that turn Haste.  Technically it is rotating out with M12 but, if you play the deck before then, you could include Warstorm Surge, for some easy burn every turn.

With the Slumbering Dragons, it might be a good idea to give your opponent more of a reason to attack.  What if you have a couple Planeswalkers building to their ultimates soon?  They're going to need to stop that.  You already have a one-of Chandra, but you could include more, as well as Garruk, Primal Hunter, which would also give you "free" creatures to bounce with Primadox, if it comes down to that.

I'm not sure that the Farseeks will do you too much good.  They will filter a couple lands out of your deck, but you probably don't need them for mana fixing if you're only running two colors.  The only thing I see that really justifies it is the Moonveil Dragon, with the RRR mana cost, and that just seems to be there to go along with the dragon theme.

Looks like a few things are broken at the moment:

• Inventory - Edit Card Details - Hangs for any card in M13, including ones that also exist in other sets.  Works just fine for cards that aren't in M13.

• Inventory - Advanced Add Options - Autofill shows a server error if the dropdown list would include any M13 cards.

I'm assuming that both of these are caused by some missing data that is supposed to be filled in when returning the AJAX request for the M13 cards.  The server fails out because the data isn't available for M13 and returns an invalid response. 

Let me know if you need any more details on how to reproduce.

They're simply just mocking your original inclusion of 'lol' in the title for seemingly no reason.

Seeing as you're running mono white and the specific cat creature type, with a couple of legendary creatures, you could definitely run a Konda's Banner to pump them all up at once.  Probably want to play only one though, since it would be useless without those two out.

Beyond that, if you want to be about gaining life, there are the obvious ones: Basilisk Collar and Loxodon Warhammer.

With Kemba, possibly throwing out creatures non-stop, you should probably also include Angelic Chorus and the new M13 Healer of the Pride, and, even though it isn't a cat, you could technically also add the Suture Priest.  I guess that all just depends upon what slots you have open.  Pride Guardian could also be a good inclusion.

Sorry, not too many Equipment ideas because I generally don't run much equipment either.

Count me as part of the jealous group as well for pulling Ajani, or any good rares actually.  Glad you guys got some good luck in the end anyway.  I'm hoping for something better next week at the FNM draft and in the Fat Pack that I have ordered.

Very nice.  Plan to use the Memorial in any decks?  And Rancor + Nighthawk would be a very nice combo.

I'll be going to a Pre-release in ~4 hours, so I'll be back later tonight to post my results as well.
I drafted BG in literally every AVR draft (probably because everybody else was trying to do some type of Human and/or Angel build), and I did relatively well every time.  So, I'm definitely open to doing the same thing again, but I'm thinking about trying to go in a different direction; I guess it all depends upon what I pull.  Never done a Pre-release before, or Sealed, so wish me luck!

My bigger worry would be a Terminus

So yeah, I tested this out a bit, but, like a lot of aggro decks, is susceptible to removal.  I was able to pull off a nice, quick combo one time of attacking with a couple Druids' Repositorys out and then got out Griselbrand, but they immediately hit him with a Go For the Throat; I definitely activated his ability in response though, so I got some extra cards out of the deal.

Somberwald Sage was very nice, if I could keep it on the field, and when I did I was able to get a few Craterhoof Behemoths out and just trampled everything.

Sadly, I haven't been able to hit Primal Surge yet.  The one time I was close; one mana away before I got pinged for the last few points of damage.

I like the deck so far, but it really needs some better flow to it.  Really hits some highs and lows.  Huntmaster of the Fells is a real champ.  I never understood why he was worth so much, until I was able to flip a couple of them a couple times in a row.  Just need to get some better tempo for the deck, and a better way to combat destruction (maybe another deck to make use of Sheltering Word).

I went the other way with it and made it a WUG, all flier, spirit based deck.  Then I ran a bunch of Favorable Winds to help pump them.  Here it is.

Obviously, I went a bit more expensive because I used a bunch of cards that I have lying around, like a Phanstasmal Image and some dual lands, but those aren't necessarily required, just nice to have.  And you could probably run a mostly UG spirits deck, with a smaller splash of W (Avacyn's Pilgrim maybe) for some great support stuff like Drogskol Captain.  There's actually tons of spirits to work with and tweak things to your liking.

I threw in a Moonsilver Spear, because I just love that card way too much, and it provides extra fliers.  And I definitely took a play out of your book and used a full playset of Sheltering Words to help protect my creatures, and I actually put another playset of Ranger's Guile in my sideboard for that exact same reason, although I'm hoping that the Drogskol Captains mitigate the need for them.  I guess time will tell.  I'm hoping to throw it all together and bring it to the pre-release tomorrow for games in between official matches.

Let me know if you have any other ideas to add on.

Wow..... how did I never think of that for Bower Passage?!  Amazing idea.  Maybe I'll try to run this deck at my first FNM, just because.

I do agree however that it would be nice to have some native fliers, just in case.  Gryff Vanguard is a bit expensive, but gives you a flier and cantrip in one package.  And how can you not be running Mist Raven?   And since your creatures will hopefully be unblockable, you could also throw in a Soul Seizer to steal some creatures.

Having fliers already would then also be easier to include things like Favorable Winds.

If you wanted an interesting way to protect your enchantments and such, you could run Geist Snatch, which could counter a spell pointed at your enchantment, as well as giving you another flier in the process.

I think you're focusing a bit too much on direct destruction, which won't work well against Hexproof or Indestructible.  Adding something like Barter in Blood will allow you to hit two birds with one stone, killing off your creatures and killing some of theirs that you usually couldn't hit.

Then, since you have so many things dying off, left and right, a Blood Artist or two couldn't hurt. 

And Butcher of Malakir actually kind of hits on both of those points.

Liliana Vess will also let you search for the Primal Surge.  And Night Dealings.
And I was going to suggest the Craterhoof Behemoth as well.
