White Crusade

You thinking those {silver in-laid dagger}? I didn't throw in {butcher's cleaver}s because I was worried their equip cost was too high, although by the time they are out I have the mana to equip next turn...did you have any better ideas?

I wouldn't really put in equipment; if you put in equipment then this deck morphs into a {Puresteel Paladin} deck.

[Validan]

I did want to stay away from puresteel

I didn't mean to start a whole equipment thread argument lol

Thought you guys may want to see the new deck list. The side board isn't complete yet but I'm also not sure how I feel about the timely reinforcements yet since I haven't had a chance to cast them, I built up too fast with midnight haunting to fulfill the requirement

Don't worry about it, it's a good discussion!  It's been given it's own life here:

Cool, even with equipment though I'm not sure what I would swap lol that seems to be my problem

[Prophylaxis]

I like {Doomed Traveler}. Gets in with evasion.

[Appleguru56]

I will mainboard the four honor of the pure and remove three relic warders into the side. I would also cut some adaptive automations in favor of removals such as oblivion ring.

[Prophylaxis]

Yeah, I could see the place for them but I didn't really like the {Adaptive Automaton}.

[Validan]

With what I have in the deck now I am able to have all of those cards in mainboard

[Validan]

Think that card {shrine of loyal legions} is any good for this deck? I mainboarded the {elite inquisitors} and {grand abolisher}s instead of {leonin relic warder}s and the {divine reckoning}

Shrine is a sideboard card because it is slow to achieve value. Elite inquisitor is cheap ($) and has decent abilities, but it becomes underpowered as the game progresses. Day of judgement is the one and only mass removal worth considering for this deck. While divine reckoning may sound good, it really just allows your opponent to keep their biggest threat (say {grave titan}?) while you keep your favorite weenie to combat that.

[Validan]

So you think I should mainboard {day of judgment} instead of the inquisitors?

[Deeliser10]

This has the makings of a tough token deck.  Don't mean to change the subject, but maybe some more {hero of bladehold} or some {blade splicer}

[Validan]

I like the bladeholds definitely, and the splicers I've been eyeing I'm just trying to keep it mostly human/spirit for the {adaptive automaton}s, after selling my saint trafts I think I'll get some more bladeholds
