Deck Description

This deck is quite common in tournaments (by this I mean FNM) and looks like a lot of fun to play. The play style adapts to each opponent which is an aspect I like a lot though I am a hopeless control player.

I NEED HELP

I have a lot of trouble with my 3 drops and cheap creatures, that is what imposing sovereign kind of is, I am thinking about boros reckoners. The late game is very funny when Tajic gets +10/+10 because of aurelia, though I doubt that combo will ever come out in a real game. One problem is that there is actually no mana ramp at all for these colours (banners raised and infernal plunge are all).

Welcome for people to point out my faults with this deck and head me in the right direction, as I intend to buy a deck like this one and do not want to waste my money

Also I must mention that I do not want to spend a heap of money on cards that will rotate out in a month or so, so nothing like Tamiyo etc. (that said I'm fine with buddy lands)

Deck discussion for American Midrange

If u want Aurelia in take out all Tajiks cause they are not reliable enough with the creatures u have
I suggest that u drop one imposing soverign
Add 2 detention spheres
Get rid of legions initiative cause there are really not many etb effects goin on here
4 azorious charms and 3 silences plus 1 more render silent and drop 1 izzet charm
u really only need one ral and 2 have architect of thought
Maybe one more supreme verdict and definitely at least 1 terminus
Might want to add some burn spells to like Boris charm and maybe a playset of pillar of flames in case of aggro type decks
Also I personally would put an angel of serenity and 2 find hunters for removal along with 2-4 o rings

Otherwise u have a nice start to ur deck. U can take some of my advice or not I'm not really sure how much the cost will be affected with my additions and removal of cards but u have a similar deck to mine which won me tournaments at local card shops before m14 came out ill post the link next message
Btw my deck is more control then midrange so it's alittle different but it still similar

Good luck to u and I hope I was of some help

Yours sounds like control more than midrange, so no angels also no terminus coz I can't be bothered to spend $4 on a card which goes out of standard in a month. Originally ran boros charm but didn't like it though I reckon some shocks would be a good idea but O-ring is useless when I can get detention sphere (mana costs really aren't an issue). Also Tajic is fine (may take 2 instead of 3, want to play test, he is one of my better cheap creatures and +10/+10 is hilarious with aurelia). Legions initiative is essential (even if only sideboarded) coz I blink my creatures then play supreme verdict xD
