well you can say that about any deck. if you don't get the cards you need then you're kinda screwed. I mean if I wanted to go real defensive I could swap out the Hold the Gates with Holy Mantle and use whatever creature I have out as a blocker, especially if I get one of the 8 lifelink aura cards I have. I could just wait and attack when I have enough to kill. I pretty much have 16 defense cards. Honestly, the only deck I've played that has given me trouble is Boros. Haste low cost creatures with direct damage and batallion effects is a killer. Boros Reckoner is super O/P unless I can get a pacify on him. But most Boros decks I've seen can get 4 creatures out by turn 4.

I didn't see any results for celestial flight. I mean I just added the Hold the Gates as a test. Holy Mantles were in there originally. Vigilance is nice to have especially if I can get the lifelink first strike benefits
the vigilance is the only reason for that card.
