Maybe I should run some artifact/enchantment removal? Solemn Offering is pretty bad, but so is Planar Cleansing.

Ajani Goldmane? is this supposed to be Vengeant?

I'm liking it, however, I still think that you would be better off using path rather than harms way, the only thing that harms way takes care of that path wouldn't, is the fallout damage it seems to me that most of the time you'd rather have the path to ensure the kills. Or better yet, instead of the Ascension, the Ascension usually wont get counters down until you are already winning (with Angels or an angel)

ajani is supposed to be vengeant.

blightning, ajani, lightning bolt, harm's way, burst lightning, fallout; these are the ways i'm dealing 2 or more damage. in theory. in practice most of that will be going to creatures. that is the one good thing about harms way is i prevent two damage (for luminarch) and deal two damage (for bloodchief). pretty much only works against weanie, otherwise i need to take out bloodchief and harms way. which makes me think they both need to be in the board, and path and three of something need to be in the maindeck.

about sorin--he has synergy with bloodchief, but he costs lots of black and he costs lots of mana. would i be better off with liliana, or even good ol elspeth? i like liliana cause she has discard and that is useful in my bad match up...elspeth is not great without lots of creatures to go along with her, but she is still very good in that she makes her own tokens. i think i just need to test it. my inclination is i'm not going to love it, and i'll find that bloodchief ascension will be more of a distraction than a win con. but then again it might be amazing.
