I hear battlegrace angel is pretty good and so is broodmate dragon. Both of these creatures would help your late game tremendously i believe. Possibly even rhox warmonk?

Your fine running 20 cpt tapped lands in block its slow enough, 5cc seems to beat everything but naya but you do need to run more lands because of it i run 28 in my version, 3 cruel and 4 broodmate dragons is all you need as win conditions the rest can be dedicated to making sure you do not lose. I already have a thread in forum i think on it you should look it up. Deck is great as long as you are not expecting a ton of naya 3rd turn venegant and ranger of eos are really hard for you to deal with.

I am wandering if anyone has tried playing 23 land and 3-6 of the Obliski (spelling again hooked on phonics did not work for me)? If you think about it, the artifact mana would help the Naya matchup. You would have mana on the table if they land a Realm Razer. I agree that 3 Cruel and 3 Broodmate should be good for the win. One Oblisk of Alara would also be nuts. I like the Empyrial Archangel and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker as well. You should cut one of the Ajani Vengeant and all of the Elvish Visionary.

Looking at your sideboard if you can work in some discard for the mirror that would be great as well.

The problem with obelisks is there is always 100 better things to do with 3 mana. Play any charm fall out cancel, oring your turn is always better spent more productivly doing something else. Razor relam is not that big a problem I think alot of decks stopped bringing him in at all, as fall out and jund charm own him quite hard. The biggest probelm is 3rd turn ajani, you almost always lose to this if they they any action after it, followed by ranger getting either double nactal or nactal hydra, wizrds really should have printed firespout in ala and fall out in lrw:<

What about Countersquall and Celestial Purge on the side to deal with Ajani? Looking at the way that block is working out, Celestial Purge could be useful. After thinking about it a lot. You should change up the removal.

4 Bant Charm
4 Volcanic Fallout
3 Path to Exile
3 Jund Charm
2 Grix Charm

You also must have all 4 Esper Charms.

3 Broodmate Dragons are very good as well. The single Empyrial Archangel may be good just due to Shroud and being able to block Broodmate Dragons in the mirror.
