So I've been playing this list for a little while, has decent match-ups so far just looking for insight into anything i may have missed during construction. Any help is appreciated.
I've never been very impressed with Anticipate. I'd cut it for another Sarkhan and Elspeth. I'd also probably drop Chandra, Mindswipe and the Vaults. Chandra is just the weakest walker in the deck in my opinion, and I think you'd be better off with something like more counters or some Lightning Strikes to keep the board clean until you can find your walkers. The Vaults feel unnecessary because the only card you really need to worry about exiling is Deathmist Raptor and you've got that covered with Anger and Banishing Light (unless they have Dromoka's Command, but it's at least a temporary fix), while End Hostilities is probably just a better general purpose sweeper. Vault also kills your walkers, while the others do not. Mindswipe is a card that I really like that is never as good as I think you'd want or expect it to be. Honestly I think you're better off with Strikes in that slot to deal with Fleecemane Lions.
Thank you so much for the advice, I agree with the Chandra cut, most often when i cast her I'm underwhelmed, the vaults do hit my walkers on occasion but I have found them useful in removing opposing walkers but that was before i added banishing light so those could probably get the boot as well.I agree with anticipate as it's usually been cast digging for an answer and it would be helpful to just have that answer in the slot instead. Ill make some changes and get back to you on how it works. Thank you again!
Updated deck with recommendations from HumbleKami and it's a lot stronger in the aggro match-up now, and much more consistent. Wondering about my sideboard, what do you guys think?
Sideboard looks OK. I'd probably be looking at cutting Gainsay for Negate, Deflecting Palm for something, probably another Roast. Perhaps you could even look at running some Soulfire Grand Masters in the side. They're good for the life gain against aggro and buying back cards against other control decks can help you win out with better card advantage as well as getting value from the fact that they will probably side out all of their targeted removal outside of Hero's Downfall which is already very stretched against your deck with all the walkers. Possibly even consider some dragons. I'm not too sure though, sideboard building has never been a strength of mine and I don't really know what good and bad matches this deck has.
I liked gainsay because in the control matchup it just counters almost anything relevant from the dragons to the draw or other counters at cmc 2, I'll try out negate though. I really like deflecting palm against rdw but I might keep those and throw in the grandmaster because that just sounds like lulz, deflect your stoke back at you gain 4.I might cut roast entirely because that was there before we changed the main with the lightning strikes so now I'm pretty good on removal. Ill make some changes and let you know, thanks for all the help humble!!!
I like your deck but I was aiming for a creatureless superfriends, it puts most removal as dead cards against me and I can freely cast my sweepers without any downside. Although I may take the idea of cratorclaws from you because narset + claws could end the game pretty quick and game two with grandmaster means x damage gain x life. Lol
I get that, but walkers are immune to all of those except downfall, putting that many dead cards in my opponents deck game one is great. I have contemplated running Ojutai and some red dragons with the scorn package, but as it stands I'm very happy with the way my deck runs creature-less, different strokes for different folks i guess.
You're probably right, I got crushed when I played the daily, just couldn't come back from early life loss and when I did play a walker they had answers.

I think I'd go with something like:
-1 Chandra, Pyromaster -2 Anticipate, -2 Mindswipe, -2 Perilous Vault, +1 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, +1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion, +4 Lightning Strike, +1 flex (counter, another walker, another Hostilities if you want more sweepers).
