So I wanted an aggro deck, and started with mono-white humans, but the one-drops were lacking (I really felt like Town Gossipmonger was underwhelming), so I went to GW. The problem is that the human synergy is lacking now that I have more nonhuman creatures, so I'm wondering if it'd be better to play Oath of Ajani or something else instead of Thalia's Lieutenant.
Oh and by the way, in case anyone's wondering, attacking with an exerted Glory-Bound Initiate, then casting and flipping Lone Rider feels real good:)
Nice to see another Humans player. We have a thread in Established that I'd like to invite you to contribute to. According to this, you would want more W sources for a turn 3 Always Watching or a turn 4 Gisela. Canopy Vista rotates soon, but might be worth considering. Otherwise you could look at some of lajube's posts, as they have run GW Humans extensively.
If you wanted to go more Human, you could go back to the Gossipmongers in place of the Prowlers and try Heron's Grace Champion in place of the Giselas. Heron's Grace Champion is really fun to play with and can give some real blowouts.
Selfless Spirit may deserve consideration for the sideboard.
