This is my uber cheap modern deck (most of the stuff I just traded for). My shop has a modern fnm this Friday. You guys have any suggestions?

I'd cut the less awesome creatures and make the deck 60 cards.

It is 60 cards. The total is counting my sideboard for some odd reason. And all the creatures have their merits, though I believe {Leonin Skyhunter} to be the weakest here, but I need a flier and he's a bear, so in that sense he's good.

Knights are my baby. {student of warfare} can be pretty deadly early game. An {armored ascension} can also end a game pretty quickly.

The only way I'd ever put an aura on any of these knights are if it were a Fiendslayer, so they can't just kill it in response.
Basically this list is a lot more streamlined, so I can try to compete with stuff like Affinity. That's why I have vials.

I guess my main concerns are whether or not I should have equips in my list anymore, or should they just be more dudes?
Should {Leonin Skyhunter} just be like, a {Spectral Rider} instead? Or is flying better?
If I'm keeping my equips, should I add my {Steelshaper's Gift}s back in?
Stuff like that. Not really looking for suggestions on knights, I went through and made sure that I'm playing all the knights I want to be playing.

{{Stillmoon cavalier}} over Leonin Skyhunter IMO. More versatile.
But that 3 mana hurts. I already have a lot of 3 mana dudes. =\ Plus he's a mana sink and sometimes I just don't have the mana.

Update: First place! I played against Affinity, U tron, a standard mono green devotion deck (which actually roflstomped me, but he gave me the win), a homebrew {Necrotic Ooze} deck that consistently combos with {Devoted Druid} and {Quillspike}, and... I can't remember the other deck. It was 5 rounds of Swiss. Had a lot of fun tonight. Makes me want to play Nykthos in modern though!
