Exalted is too quick for {Staff of nin}. Also, why in the world is {Guilded lotus}here? You hav nothing highly costed

[Jdogtoocool]

At least one more sublime angel and the crusaders make really good additions to the deck

Thanks guys, appreciate the responses - I am new to MTG, and have only played casually so far.

{Gilded Lotus} and {Staff of Nin} were suggestions from a friend, but happy to listen to all advice. What would you put in instead?

I only have 1 {Sublime Archangel}. do you mean {Crusader of Odric}? I like that idea...

I'm assuming he means {Mirran Crusader}, which are phenomenal with exalted.

Oh, and you have a lot of overall bad creatures that could be replaced.  For example, {Servant of Nefarox} and {Duskmantle Prowler} could be replaced by adding copies of {Tormented Soul}, {Aven Squire}, {Silverblade Paladin}, etc.  Drop the two {Cloudshift}, they only help out {Liliana's Shade} which is a pretty average card anyway.

Finally, besides the previous suggestions, {Liliana of the Dark Realms} doesn't have much use in this deck, swap her out for more {Sublime Archangel}.  Drop {Staff of Nin} and {Gilded Lotus} for more removal in your mainboard.

I'll bump up my Exalted deck if you want to examine it.

{Mirran Crusader} goes non-legal for Standard next month, no? I already have 4 {Tormented Souls}, but will swap in more Aven Squires. I'll need to buy some Silverblade Paladins, he looks very cool. Cloudshift I had in there for protection against unsummon or destroy spells rather than for Liliana's swamp retrieval, but you think no?

{Sublime Archangel} is awesome, but I only have one... And at $20 each it's a big buy. I'll see if I can pick up another.

Love the look of the other Exalted deck that has been posted, comments on that in a minute.

Ya I don't think Cloudshift deserves a spot in the deck, and I don't believe u will be low on mana, but if you are consistently low, Liliana is a good option.  Also {Isolated Chapel} is perfect, but not cheap.

[swallowtail]

Ok, thanks guys...

I have made a few changes, based on what I have available to me plus the addition of another {Sublime Archangel} and 4 {Silverblade Paladins}, which I will need to pick up. The rest I own... Mirran Crusader I am not going to use, reluctant to start using a card that I'd have to buy that tgoes non-legal next month...

There are still better cards to use (e.g. {Isolated Chapel}) but they may have to wait...

Thoughts?

[xBeLLaTriX]

Looks pretty solid now.  A few changes here and there as you acquire more cards.  A possibility that would be great is {True Conviction}, but it's rotating out.  Think about a tormented soul boosted up to 10/10 with double strike and lifelink.  Lol

Local game shop has neither sublime archangel or the silverblade paladins... Will head online and see what I can find.
