    you think Rootborn Defense is better then Brave the Elements for this deck?  I like Brave the Elements because it's easier to keep W untapped, and I can use it for offense if I need to (kill stroke).

    I am not excited by seeing 3 Elixers of Immortality in this deck. There are better ways for you to gain life. I would consider replacing 2 of those with 2 Ordeal of Heliod. You have Hexproof guy in here as well as Daxos, both good targets for something like that. And a 2 mana investment for 10 life, granting you an extra 13 power on the table seems pretty good to me.
    • Adam Lazar | 04-Oct-2013 16:20
      I would also consider cutting 1 Voracious Wurm. Deck also should have Unflinching Courage.
      • Adam Lazar | 04-Oct-2013 16:21
        Last note: Thassa does not belong in here. There is 0 chance of getting enough devotion to turn her into a creature, and the Scry 1 every turn isn't really what this deck wants to be doing on turn 3.
        • R P | 04-Oct-2013 16:43
          really? I have a draft of the deck, and I love scrying each upkeep.  Also..she makes a creature unblockable, which is great for a deck built around gaining life and getting daxos through.  I thought for 3 mana she provides some worthwhile abilities.
          • Adam Lazar | 04-Oct-2013 16:45
            Daxos is more or less unblockable already. Drop an Ordeal or Unflinching Courage on him, and even the little guys can't effectively block him. I'm not saying Thassa is a good card, I'm just saying that I don't think this kind of deck wants to spend its third turn casting her with no chance of her affecting the board.
            • R P | 04-Oct-2013 16:58
              grr, I hate to agree.  I like what she gives, but you're probably right..
            • R P | 04-Oct-2013 16:59
              should I go 4 Ordeals/3 Unflinching, or vice versa?
              • Adam Lazar | 04-Oct-2013 17:09
                I think you should have no more than 5 total between the two, and I like Unflinching Courage best. Maybe add 2 Witchstalkers to the mail for another target for these?
                • R P | 04-Oct-2013 17:22
                  went down to 2 wurms, added 2 witchstalkers.
                  • Adam Lazar | 04-Oct-2013 17:23
                    That looks a lot better. Almost something I would play. :)
                    • R P | 10-Oct-2013 05:31
                      I removed the angelic accords, elixer.  added 4 azorious charm, 1 more simic charm and 1 more fleecemane.  I should have enough removal.  What would you do to this deck?
    • R P | 04-Oct-2013 16:25
      I guess my worry with the ordeal was, it gives opponent 3 turns to remove it whereas the elixer can be instantaneous.  But I guess you're right, on a hexproof deck..less chance of that happening.  good idea :)
