None of these theory decks have brave the elements, because brave the elements isn't in standard. Therefore none of these decks are going to be competitive.
Turn 2 Knight of the White Orchid. Pass turn. Opponent plays.... Fleecemane Lion. Go? Flip all the Gideons you want, that abzan player can just downfall it and you can't break through the lion. Playing white without green just seems dumb. You're going to want Dromoka's Command with this guy, at least then you can make it a 3/3 and first strike becomes relevant. And why play this guy at sorcery speed when you can just play him at instant speed. On the play, you're at 4 lands, opponent plays a land, you end of turn CoCo into this, grabbing a land and then playing a land on your turn with some sort of strictly better card than anything in your theory decks. Try expanding the ideas beyond just a bunch of 2/1 1 drops and a Heliod.
This guy has no home at the moment. Possibly after rotation we could see a CoCo deck where this guy takes the Fleecemane spot, but even then Deathdealer is going to be better most of the time.
Get off the Hype train everyone, this is just a card. I'm happy to see a reprint that's playable, but this guy isn't breaking open new strategies at the moment.
Don't be so sure. It could (in theory) make mono white devotion viable for the three months before it rotates.
