First time I post here, didn't figure out how to copy the decklist, so I enter it manually.
I found the exalted + sunstriker element pretty strong in this pool, especially with the faithmender so I prioritized having one giant lifelinked attacker (to sacrifice to Bolas!) and plenty of removal.
10 Plains
6 Swamp
1 Cathedral of War
1 Angelic Benediction
1 Crippling Blight
2 Divine Verdict
1 Essence Drain
1 Mark of the Vampire
1 Pacifism
1 Public Execution
1 Safe Passage
3 Sunstriker
1 Attended Knight
1 Aven Squire
1 Disciple of Bolas
1 Griffin Protector
3 Guardians of Akrasa
1 Knight of Infamy
1 Rhox Faithmender
1 Tormented Soul
1 Ajani
Notable sideboard card: Cower in Fear (the double black mana cost is too hard to maindeck it)

I like white blue in this sealed deck. Everyone agrees on white here, but alot of people miss how well water courser combos with exalted-- they can be massive quickly-- and there's three of them in the deck. Add the removal of two essence scatters and the flexibility of sleep and fog bank, and I think that's the way to go.

This is the 40 I came up with. Probably stretching too thin going W/G/b, but I wanted a way to just kill a thing, and the W/G pool doesn't have that. This Deck was built in 0:09:55Total Deck Size: 4018 Lands --------------- 6 Forest  10 Plains  1 Swamp  1 Cathedral of War  15 Creatures --------------- 1 Acidic Slime  3 Ajani's Sunstriker  1 Arbor Elf  1 Attended Knight  1 Aven Squire  1 Elvish Visionary  1 Griffin Protector  2 Guardians of Akrasa  1 Mwonvuli Beast Tracker  1 Rhox Faithmender  1 Sentinel Spider  1 Silklash Spider  6 Other Spells --------------- 1 Captain's Call  1 Divine Favor  1 Divine Verdict  1 Jayemdae Tome  1 Pacifism  1 Public Execution  1 Planeswalkers --------------- 1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride  The white is just so deep, and rewarding for going deep with Ajani and his trio of Sunstrikers, that I don't see how you don't play it. Green plays some nice defense and Slime maindeck gives you outs to all sorts of troublesome things (Sands/Mark/Rings/O-Ring). But W/G can't just kill a thing. You don't have O-Ring or Prey Upon, so I outsourced a Public Execution. You want to have something that beats a Krenko. Don't love my mana, but think it will do.

I wont write my list here. The real decision is what color will you choose to pair with W, I would prefer G as the white lacks body (but has 2 Divine Verdict and 1 Pacifism ). U may also be prefered for the Divination  s and Watercourser  s , even B is an option for splashing for Essence Scatter  , Knight of Infamy  , Tormented Soul  My only point is this deck will have a low mana curve so putting Jayemdae Tome would be wise to avoid a loss for flood.
