Sublime archangel gives all my other creatures exalted. Along with cathedral of war.
Figured if I pump out enough tokens drop an angel I should have plenty of damage going thru with the stalker.

Other ideas are welcome of course.... That is what the forum is for amiright?

Once I saw the sublime I thought G/W tokens would get dumb. But I really like the stalker. And then you give him double strike!

You might want to try {elspth tirel}. Getting more tokens to give exalted and some extra blocker is nice. Life gain is a plus.

I was thinking about elspth, but since she rotates I may split the walkers and go with two {ajani caller of the pride} (for his first ability put a +1+1 counter on target creature} and one tami.

Yes!!!x100089086890000 yes!
The more I looked at the beast the more I like his style!  I think he is a good fit in every dek that runs white. Too bad his buddy Gideon can't stick around for long to help protect him but oh wells!

She doesn't estate til October so she and a lot of other cards still have use for now. Even more since people think of them less now, which saddens me some what.

I hear ya man I really do. I'm not ditching my old cards just because they leave standard in a few months. I just feel like ajani has a better place in here. And since I don't have either elspth or ajani I think I'll spend my $ on the one that can stay for a while. :)

I think you need some black lands to play the {lingering souls} flashback. I also think tamyo is to slow and bad as a one of. You should use {mana leak} over {cancel} while you still can. {vapor snag} over {unsummon} and add {ponder} while you still can use it. I like the deck idea by the way.

I may end up splitting the mana leaks and the cancels just because leak can be paid for.
Unsummon is pretty much only there to bounce my guys due to the overwhelming board wipes available.
I'll have to ponder ponder for a bit. Not really sure if the draw is necessary. : /
Also thanks. I think that over time and with the right tinkering this could be considered  somewhat  of a contender.

The main worries I have with exalted is being chump blocked all day and the opponent casting removal on your exalted creature. I see you have Invisible Stalker and lots of flyers so that will help. Have you considered either Faiths Shield or Artful dodge to force the damage through. I'd also be tempted to splash green for Rancor.

The M13 blue enchant Tricks of the Trade could be useful. +2/+0 and unblockable.

Rancor is frickin amazing. I would for sure find a way to put rancor in any exalted deck.

I'm not sure I could lose the control package. 😁

I've updated the list a bit added in {ponder}
And a couple of swamps to flash back LS.

Do you think {rancor} is worth the spot? What should I take out?

Looking more in depth, I cut the Cathedral of War by 2 as it comes in tapped and this deck needs tempo. I'd also agree with replacing Cancel with Mana Leak entirely as your 3 drop spot is rather full.
I would also replace Silverblade Paladin with Mirran Crusader as its protection from black and green neuters a large amount of removal and blocking creatures.
Another card to consider would be Spellskite as, for U or 2 life , you can redirect removal away from your exalted attacker.

Thanks for noticing the cathedral, didnt see it came in tapped first time i read it. 
I've dropped it down to 3 of because it doesn't need to tap to give exalted. :) (primary use}
I like {mirran crusader}, but I'm sticking with silver blade due to giving my stalker double strike. He is pretty much the win con.
{invisible Stalker} with a {silver inled dagger} and a couple of exalted trigger paired with {silver blade paladin} is a nasty two turn clock.
If anything I can side in a set of MC if the Opponent is black or green.
