Why don't you play more persist creatures?

Safehold Elite, Shield of the Oversoul etc would be good additions to your deck, instead of Wrath of God, Harmonize and Wall of Roots.

When your deck is based around creatures and attacking with them is your only way of winning, it is best to keep the initiative.

If you want to let them have the initiative, before you stop them and take over, you must play control.

GW isn't a good colour combination for aggrocontrol - those are the colours of aggression and weenies. To me it seems that you base your deck on the assumption that its main strategy isn't good enough to win, so you have woven in some backup defense to stay alive long enough for the "combo" to get going. Persist is a strong mechanic. Look at the GW beef-fest beatdown decks, and make your own flavour to them.

you've make a good point but this deck is working really well
i mean against red is a auto win and for the ramp they have to play 2/3 spells to kill one creature
but the agro scene in sb for controlish is something viable yeah
thanks
