On the Apostle's Blessing / Rebuff the Wicked side of things there's also Shining Shoal or Reverent Mantra that could be considered if the list is pretty White heavy.
Could you do me a favor and just call her Mom? I've been scratching my head for a couple minutes to find out what MoR is...I had to actually look back in the thread, lol. I'm just used to hearing her called Mom is all.

Vial is a good opportunity, and one that supports Bob better. If Vial is used, it makes Serra Avenger quite a bit better as an aggressive drop that dodges the turn 4 stipulation (potential for turn 3 with Vial, and avoids the WW in her cost)

With Vial, I think a creature suite like this would work well:

4x Mother of Runes
3x Grim Lavamancer
3x Serra Avenger
4x Dark Confidant
3x Mirran Crusader
3x Vampire Nighthawk
