This is a deck I've had a lot of fun using and is a quick 1-2 punch to a win. The only problems I have found are the mana a few times but regardless the deck is durable. Meddling Mage is used on the instant removal leaving your creatures able to use the bonus of their turn 3-4 counterparts (Rafiq, Elsepth, Knight). I could use some advice on the sb...thanks for the help and let me know what you think.

1. Ditch the hindering lights. They don't fit all that well in an agro deck. If they remove something, just throw down another threat.

2. You have 28 creatures. This is a ton. Consider putting in some ancient ziggurats instead of rupture spires to slow you down.

3. Finest hour is SO good in bant agro. With even less enchantment removal played in block, I highly recommend it.
