I can see that this deck is pretty centered around the flavor of exalted, so if you want to keep that theme, you NEED removal. You won't see turn five without it against aggro. {Mortify}, {Unmake}, {Dismember}, {Path to Exile}, and {Orzhov Charm} are all options.

Yes, I want this to be a ton of exalted things. And thank you, I was considering removal but I wasn't sure what to add. Now I just need to cut it down lol

{{Duskmantle Prowler}} is not optimal IMO

Okay, I wasn't sure. 4 drop 3/1 haste exalted was iffy for me, not really sure if it was worth it, thanks!

I'd say that there's better removal than why you have like:
{Go for the Throat}
{Heroes Downfall}

Maybe even some Sac spells like {Devour Flesh}

Just my opinion

No to downfall because it's way too expensive. Ill consider Go for the Throat. And no to the flesh, because I want my opponents gaining as little life as possible.

Ooh! Ooh! {Dismember}!

I'd rather use {Murder}, honestly. It's guaranteed to kill unless the creature has indestructible. I think I'll SB it against Indestructible decks.

{Murder} over {Dismember}?!? You're killin' me, man.

Well, it's situational and upon my playgroup it's never useful since everything is huge $:-\$ I'll sideboard it I guess.

It's not situational! In Modern, {Dismember}={Murder}, except it costs 2 less mana, essentially. If anything gets more than 5 toughness, you're probably dead already. IMO, {Murder} wasn't good in standard, but it's utterly unplayable in Modern. I have a burning hatred for that card, honestly.

Alright, as soon as I fix my phone (its not working so I'm on my laptop) I'll update.
