The Pilgrims should probably be Birds of Paradise but that raises the cost of the deck $10.
Pilgrims just ramp so white is really just uncolored. The other alternative would be a mana myr.

They tap for colorless and attack for 1, seems good enough (and definitely better than the alternatives).

Those avacyn's pilgrims dont fit at all. I'd much rather have 4 less 1 drops and add Moonscarred Werewolf  on the two mana slot. It also helps with the ramp, and if they miss a spell, it allows you to cast an urabrask (or maybe even vorapede) on turn 3

Theres probably two ways to take the deck - as fast as possible, with a really low curve, or going more midrange. Of the mana dork options to put into a low curve deck, Pilgrims probably works the best, since it can attack and it only costs 1. More midrange builds may or may not be better than this build, but this build doesn't really come of as a midrange deck.

Wolfbitten Captive  ?
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Might be better in the abstract in that slot, but I was talking mana dorks specifically 
And more importantly, JVLs been trying to keep the "no budget" (my words, not his) crowd happy, so commons > uncommons > rares / mythics haha. That being said, is Wolfbitten Captive even a card? [pv]Wolfbitten Captive?!?! Reeeeeeeeaaally?!!!!"[/pv]

Ran this at FNM this week, and it was AWESOME. Hellrider  is a complete house. I went 3-1, only lost those 2 games in match 3, and it was because I never saw a 'rider (got him to 3 in one game, and somewhat low in the other, so 'rider would absolutely have closed it). Not at all difficult to pull a turn 4 win, especially if you can drop a mana dork turn 1, geist turn 2, and 'rider turns 3 and 4. As far as a sideboard, I just threw something together at the last minute, but I feel like Blasphemous Act  is not terrible here, against tokens or the like (I just got the Heroes after the night was over, so tokens probably would have been a problem if I had faced them). Some burn would also be pretty nice, because I played some test games against my U/W humans, and Mirran Crusader  kind of wrecks this (but I am one of the few who play it in my meta, so maybe that's not a problem). Over all, I think this is a really fun deck, and I love how it plays. Nothing like Lead the Stampede  ing into 4 creatures!

Have playtested this deck against some others. It works fine if you can punch through enough early and mid-game damage. Bad match against anything with half-decent fliers or control, however. Fun to play though.
