Things to know:
When Arguel dies for a second time, it's important to look at what you already have - the enchantment and land are legendary
Werefox can exile 2 creatures with the Roaming Throne on the board.
With a bunch of your 2 & 3 mana spells being either instant or flash, you should be waiting until opponent's turn to play many of your cards. Because you don't have any blue, you may surprise opponents, and those you don't will have a harder time playing against you.
It can be worth giving up some damage to enlist with the knight-counselor and get the boon, especially if you get your next creature to 4 or 6 health, and thus safer from opponent's removal. It can even be worth attacking into defenses to trade.
Enlist is a triggered ability, so with the knight-counselor and throne out, you can attack for 10 with the counselor! (assuming the throne doesn't have summoning sickness). Also recall when playing against the throne that ward is a triggered ability, and you will have to pay it twice for tribal creatures. 2 thrones protect each other.
Arguel, Raddic, and Cerise are all crazy-powerful with roaming throne on the board. Be especially mindful of Arguel's conjuring when it triggers twice to get maximum value.
Have fun, let me know in the comments how it went if you play it, what you think could be improved.
