Notes
 
It's a shame we don't have access to a W/G Temple, and I think we might still play a non-zero number of Selesnya Guildgates in addition to them.

The W/G version has a lower, leaner curve, just bashing opponents with raw quality. The loss of Mutavault is disappointing, but Selesnya Charm gives us a lot of nice options; just be careful to not try to pump a Soldier of the Pantheon. Obviously, Voice of Resurgence, Fleecemane Lion, and Loxodon Smiter are just great cards, though it isn't even clear if Smiter is better than Boros Reckoner (and in fact I am inclined to think it's not).

Fleecemane Lion has received a little backlash from players that may have been asking a bit too much of it. It's not that a 4/4 hexproof indestructible creature is unbeatable; it's just pretty great and comes with very little opportunity cost. You really don't need to be much better than a 3/3 for two to be a good card, so having the ability to take over a reasonable percentage of games is pretty awesome upside.


While Banisher Priest isn't great against U/W Control or red decks, it is going to be pretty damn good against the various white and/or green creature decks. It is just such a great creature to protect with Brave the Elements. Also, like Selesnya Charm, it can actually deal with Gods.

Four Fiendslayer Paladins in the sideboard? You're going to be seeing that a lot out of my decks for a while . . .
