So this is an idea that just kind of hit me out of nowhere when playing Block w/ some friends. I went "white has tons of removal including mass removal and 2 good planeswalkers in ajani vengeant and elspeth...red has hard hitting creatures that don't stay on the board...hmm, what if I married the two?"

The end results was this deck that actually turned out being pretty good. Too bad M-L doesn't have block constructed tourneys for alara (at least it seems)...it seems like a good deck. It's very aggro, as sligh should be...and I think the mana curve is OK for this format, but I'd be more than happy to take a little advice.

Thoughts, opinions, etc from the masters?

In my experience, Battlegrace Angel is amazing if you resolve her. I would suggest 2 more copies in favour of the the 2 sigils.
