interesting curve, You have 40 spells and only 11 under 5 mana, yet only 20 lands.  With so many spells over 5 I would go up to 24-26 lands especially since so many of your cards requiring double colored mana.
Other issue I see is you have no early game, odds of you finding those early cards is slim.  you can be run over you before you hit your 5th mana, not to mention your your opponent has plenty of time to draw into removal.
Some cards I would consider to help early game are Azorious charm, boros charm Searing Spear, Geist of St Traft, personally I like the interation with restoration angel and thundermaw hellkite

Last FNM, I won every one save for the first 2 (I was too late for the 1st round, and the second I was surprising have bad luck). After that, no trouble get the land and both assemble the legion and crusades' crusade FTW.

I have considered the charms and devil's play, but not sure what I would take out instead.

Have you considered Quicksilver Amulet?

Slumbering Dragon has been really good considering the crusade mixed in with the legion. Stuffy doll poses good defense too.

Quicksilver Amulet isn't standard anymore, so that wouldn't work.

Oh, my bad, I thought it was printed in M13, not M12. Sorry!

It's all good. If it was still standard then it would be in my deck.
