This is my first deck posting (took the 3rd posting to get it right). Suggestions are welcome. Also as I was looking for the cards in my collection I came across a few more cards I'd like to add/replace if anyone would like to help me figure out if they are junk or better they are: Rout, Martyr's Bond, Batwing Brume, Swords to Plowshares, Paraselene, Path to Exile, Valor, Glory, Filth and Eternal Dragon (for the Plainscycling and then big-ish creature)
Oh thanks, forgot about that UU in the text box.
I find I have a harder time focusing, in the first phase of deck creation especially, then I have these older cards I remember using and want to use them again, that's why so many counters. the Arenson's Aura is in another of my decks and it's pretty mean, so i through it in here without a second thought about the UU part.
Avacyn and Elspeth would be fun, thanks for the idea.
I think that with all the Armageddon effects that more mana rocks like Gilded Lotus will be welcome.
I am not the biggest fan of the cluestone. Demonic Hordes is also kind of iffy. I would rather use Visara the Dreadful.
Edge of the Divinity seems kind of random since you have a lot of large non-voltron creatures. Doesn't seem like the plan you are going for. I would prefer Spear of Heliod as it gives you more removal and an anthem effect.
I think I'm going to stick with the hordes as they kill lands and not creatures. I put the Edge in for the low casting cost, though I think you are right it does seem/feel random. I don't know what voltron creatures are. I think you are right and will go with the spear if I can get one. I don't know where Unmake is, that's a great question. I think when I finally find all my cards, Unmake will be in the deck, I loved that spell since Lorwyn megablock. I have too many cards to find everything right away.
voltron is a term for a creature that you want to pump with a lot of auras to make something really large and scary. Typically they have some built in protection and you want to win by doing 21 commander damage; Sigarda, Host of Herons is a good example.
You could go deep in the tank with Minion of Leshrac instead of Demonic Hordes and your commander does support such a strategy. But you would want to adjust the creature base a little to have more ETB or death triggers.
EDIT: or you could go REALLY deep and throw something like Temporal Isolation on the Minion...although circle of protection black would probably be better as it is more general purpose. But it is probably easier to make a deck that will be able to feed the demon than jump through these hoops and Atheros likes a free sacrifice outlet.

Dash Hopes is a bad card.
I am wondering why all the counterspells.
With all the board wipes, Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Elspeth, Knight-Errant are your friends (Elspeth and Teysa are also BFF).

Where is Unmake?
EDIT: I just counted 32 lands. I think you will be mana screwed more often than you like with all the high CMC creatures.
