I have questions! Is your meta infested with enough 'monsters' for four maindeck Inquisitors to be necessary? Is the 2-of shock better than Incinerates? Have you been blown out by someone killing your guy in response to Angelic Destiny? (I really don't like that one in the deck). Do you really feel the card advantage from Gambit is necessary? In the sideboard, have you considered Manic Vandal over Divine Offering? Back in the maindeck, is Honor of the Pure really worth it?


I know that's a lot, but I think they're all important questions.

Well to be honest, I don't think anyone here plays a deck with 'monsters' but I feel like first strike and vigilance is very useful in the early game. Also, I feel like honor is somewhat necessary since it is very powerful with timely, mirran crusader, elite inquisitor, and Hero. On that note I don't use manic vandals since I use honor. In some variations I used manic vandal over divine offering, but I do like the instant speed of divine offering. I feel like I need tezzeret's gambit because in most of my games if I didn't win in the early game then I am sitting with a one or two card hand just hoping for a good draw. I do have some changes that might make it better. Do you think a good one drop like stromkirk to stormblood is better than just elite inquisitor turn two? I have tried some things similar but I usually run into them killing my one drop before I am able to hit or after I hit they leak my stormblood. Also I feel as if I put stormbloods in then it should be natural for me to up my shocks to 4 and leave out incinerates. With Angelic Destiny, I just put them in and have not even played more than five matches with them but I do feel that my creatures are usually killed in response. What should I have over honors, angelics, and elite inquisitors? And should I run a white one-drop like champion or doomed traveler or a red one drop like stromkirk?

it really depends on how aggressive you want your deck to be. The big problem with making it more aggressive will mean that you'll want to play both the red and white one-drops, which in turn will make your mana that much worse. RW only has the one dual to work off of right now, so your manabase will definitely have trouble with different-colored one drops. I personally believe that the red one and two drops are much more efficient than their white counterparts. Stromkirk's the real deal, and some decks just can't deal with him on turn 1.
