{Fiend Hunter} and {Hero of Bladehold}. They receive no buff from {Tempered Steel} and if you need 3 drop threat removal run more {Oblivian Ring}s.

It looks good. If anything I would drop fiend hunter for another origin spell bomb. It really benefits this deck by giving you another cheap metal craft and a draw advantage. Which is very necessary with this deck because it will burn its hand extremely quickly. Also you might like to drop the oblivion rings for a full set of dispatches.

Does anyone remember that major tournement where 6 or 7 or te top 8 were tempered steel? They talked about how even though hero doesnt get a pump shes and end game, in most cases she says take a turn and answer me or lose.
Now the question is your local meta. Is there a lot of spot removal and what kind is it, will a 3/4 have a decent chance of surviving till it swings?

My local meta is THICK with spot removal. So my opinion is based on that. I would almost splash red and replace {Hero of Bladehold} for {Hero of Oxid Ridge}.

Oxid's double red says no to that idea unless of course you main board whip flare and abuse the "nonartifact" clause on it. Sticking with white though 2 entreat the angels or terminus could be great end game or insurance respectively
