Notes:
Was just fiddling around with this deck. It isn't great, but I'm looking for ways to improve it...

You need the playset of Bladehold. Also consider adding an equipment package, {Bonesplitter} is a really sweet, cheap equipment you can jam in and get full value for the sheer amount of first strike you have. If you want to be a little more expensive, try {Steelshaper's Gift} with a Sword of X and Y package (ex: {Sword of Light and Shadow}). I have my own Knights list for modern, I might post it sometime.
Edit: {Cavern of Souls} naming Knight is pretty sweet.
My deck is mono white, and I can attest to the fact that the only thing that just puts it down is and Iona on white. While I admit Knight of The Reliquary is awesome, that's really all green offers Knights. Black gives you {Haakon, Stromgald Scourge}, which with some quick discard effects works amazingly well with the cards like {Nameless Inversion} for quick, repeatable removal; not to mention he helps your Knights recur like crazy. Mono White Knights is just fine, and white actually gives the deck plenty of answers to numerous different things. I might go ahead and post my list, since it would be easier to talk about my card choices and whatnot on there.
{knight of the holy nimbus}
Knights was my first deck ask if you want any more OP things
{Mirrian crusader}
Sorry didn't notice the crusader seriously though pacifism and O ring are your best friends they let you stall out till you can win and let you disable dangerous things
I played against this deck in a local tourney last week. It was okay, he doesn't run {signal pest}, he had {brave the elements} in its place, the pest is obviously the better choice. The deck ran okay but I got him, esp after sideboards. The guy I played didn't have a sideboard and that was a big mistake. What's in your SB? I'm currently looking into creating a sideboard for a mono white modern I created and could use some inspiration!
The sideboard is mainly {Rest in Peace}, more removal like {Unmake} and {Pacifism}, {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben}, and the other half of the {Fiendslayer Paladin} and {Hero of Bladehold} playsets. I haven't really looked into {Knight of the Holy Nimbus}, but it seems nice, although I'd rather draw a {Knight of Meadowgrain} most of the time. I tried putting an equipment package in here, but it was pretty mana-intensive so I dropped it for creatures with battle cry...
Great sideboard cards for mono white are stuff like {Blind Obediance} (for red decks), {Kataki, War's Wage} (Robots), {Aven Mindcensor}, {Rest in Peace}, {Oblivion Ring}, etc. I also have {Mirran Crusader} in my sideboard because he's slightly more conditional than {Silverblade Paladin} (Who can give your very First Strike-lacking {Hero of Bladehold} a much needed boost, or bond to a lifelinker for nice shenanigans).

Great point about the sideboard! I generally like {Mirran Crusader} because most of the creatures already have first strike and pro black and green is pretty meaningful in the format of goyfs and bobs.
My modern meta is really casual. There's only like one guy with goyf and he borrows it from the shop owner. Also, another point: Mutavault is also a Knight!

That's true, but a lot of my two-drops have double white requirements, namely orchid and meadowgrain, so i always want full on white mana for the first few turns. A pair might do nicely, though...
Yeah, I'm only playing two in my list.
Nimbus is better early game because very few opponents are willing to waste the mana to kill it you basically get a 3/3 auto regenerate card for 2 meadow grain does what? Of lifelink how useful if I don't take damage in the first place

My goal is to be aggressive so first strike makes it almost as hard to block. Regeneration is nice, but doesn't get around things like {Path to Exile}, and while it is nice against some decks, I prefer four point life swings.

This. There's a reason why Meadowgrain is almost $3/ea and Nimbus is about $1. And this is it.
