Deck discussion for Death Becomes Us

Well built. It feels a little weak when I look at the sample hands. I feel like control or spirit tokens would shut it down.... Just like a dog, if you cut off it's claws and feed it, it will wag it's tail.. :(

I'm not saying it's bad though. I like it. :)

The strategy of this deck is to keep the opponent on their back foot at all times. With 32 mana sources, 8 of which are ramp, most games will have a turn two Mirran Crusader or Lingering Souls. While they're trying to cope with that, turn three brings Hero of Bladehold or Angelic Destiny. Finally, on turn four you can cast and equip a sword. Between Lingering Souls, Mirran Crusader, and Birds of Paradise, you will almost always have an excellent target for a sword.

In case you don't draw a ramp spell, you have an alternate explosive start via Champion of the Parish, which grows quickly between Honor of the Pure and the numerous Human spells.

Two copies of Vault of the Archangel are included for extra reach, but only two to prevent mana screw. There are four Birds of Paradise and two black mana producing lands with which you can activate Lingering Souls and Vault of the Archangel.

This deck's achilles heel is mass removal. Lingering Souls helps with a quick recovery, and Honor of the Pure helps against red and black mass removal. Thalia from the sideboard can also buy you a turn or two.
