Mirran Crusader are pretty good. He attacks for 10 in the air with Elspeth, Knight-Errant . He is better if you have equipments like Sword of Fire and Ice tho.

Another suggestion would be Leonin Arbiter . With one or two of him on the battlefield, your Ghost Quarter will turn into Strip Mine ;). He is also good against pod decks.

@smackjack Aven Mindcensor I think is a little better because he doesnt slow me down with my lands cuz I Ghost Quarter my Flagstones of Trokair a lot and once in a blue moon if im really mana screwed ill Path to Exile my own guy. but leonin is a 2 drop which is very nice so ill take it into consideration. Mirran crusader is a 3 drop which kinda sucks for this deck but idk maybe ill play around with one or two of them. I still need to get Leyline of Sanctity for my sideboard so that takes priority over any sword card.

@InconspicuousPotato It is but Dryad Militant isn't a human. The reason I want humans is because turn 1: land Champion of the Parish . turn two: land and two one drop humans swing for three with champion. that's the only reason i run Elite Vanguard over Dryad Militant . but im thinking about talking elite v. out for Doomed Traveler , opinion?

June 11, 2014 7:26 p.m.

Dryad Militant 's text is much more relevant than Doomed Traveler 's. The fact he's not a human isn't a big deal since most of your other creatures are and Dryad still at least gets benefits from Field Marshal . T1 land Champ turn 2 Militant human swing for 2 is almost as good.

Champion of the Parish , Boros Elite and Elite Vanguard aren't exactly modern tier creatures. I'd suggest making this more of a soldier deck and adding 3x more Preeminent Captain and then adding 4x Captain of the Watch to cheat into play w/ preeminent captain, that's probably the strongest play modern soldier decks have.

@TriggerBill this deck has done well the way it sits I have the stuff to convert it to mono-soldier but I feel the deck runs more smoothly the way it sits.

June 13, 2014 3:18 p.m.

@TriggerBill Preeminent Captain and Captain of the Watch "aren't exactly modern tier creatures."

why not add Soul Warden ? she might come in handy in this deck :D

June 14, 2014 7:42 a.m.

Red-Skull says... #13

@Belgarion I've thought about it but It's not the goal to gain life, it's to attack aggressively so Soul Warden wouldn't help me

Mentor of the Meek could be good in this

Red-Skull says... #15

@Haemogoblin the creatures come in too big by turn 4 due too Field Marshal and Honor of the Pure

Great deck! I honestly believe that your curve is too high for 20 lands though. Between the number of 3 and 4-CMC cards you have, you'll need 22 to be consistent.

Its much more important to preserve your creatures than make any attempt at control, so for sure keep Brave the Elements as an anti-sweep, and plan to have 1 mana open to use it. Its okay to have 61 cards if you simply add a land, but I would shave 1 spell for 2 lands, Either 2 more plains or 1 plain/ 1 cavern.

Its unfortunate that Elspeth doesnt make Human Soldier tokens.

Sideboard: 4 Leyline of Sanctity, 4 Rest in Peace and as as much enchantment/artifact hitters as you can for white enchant and bots.

Obelisk of Urd is a cool card that just makes you win. you could easily be playing it turn three, swing for lethal on four.

Mirran Crusader may be a good addition.

August 14, 2014 9:32 p.m.

@ Dark Tutor - ABSOLUTELY

Running that Full playset of Honor of the Pure is fine but you are burning a significant improvement in the 3 slot with Field Marshal - Total overkill. With 4x Mirran Crusader there you could even dump the extra Soldier of the Pantheon or two.....and add another Instant of your choosing. Or Knight of the White Orchid to really smash that mana ramp. With the 4x Boros Elite Path to Exile Brave the Elements Doomed Traveler etc....... ...... you are setting up for really winning a lot of games 20 to 3 and then running out of gas. I love the mana base but not the 27 one drops.... I say find 3-4 that are expendable and add the Knight of the White Orchid - it is a human too

Definitely like the deck + 1

I've created a weenie deck myself splashing green. It's a proactive deck that exploits white protectiveness and green stompyness in a purely fun weenie overwhelming crusade.

As BrandonJamesCAC says, you should improve your mana curve.

I'd cut down these:

4x Doomed Traveler

4x Field Marshal

3x Launch the Fleet

And add these:

3x Path to Exile

4x Grand Abolisher

4x Auriok Champion

Doomed Traveler an irrevelent body. Nobody will care about him.

Flagstones of Trokair NOT WORTH IT. With the new blue moon deck and all the Blood Moon s running around not worth it.

Blade Splicer and Flickerwisp should be in here. Aven Mindcensor is nuts to.Restoration Angel is decent.You NEED to run more lands. 20 lands with 4cmc spells is NOT enough.Hushwyng Gryff] could be good sideboard tech

August 16, 2014 3:27 a.m.

Hmmmm..... Another point made.

I understand the Ghost Quarter Flagstones of Trokair combo and it works......

With Knight of the White Orchid in the main board. And at least a Gods Willing type of scry spell.....

Now, maybe I am just too casual of a player to know this... but is one enchantment worth tossing your plans?

And I'm not being a jerk or anything, really just curious why Blood Moon is even legal still

Midwest says... #25

Blood Moon should be legal. It's a fair card, run enchantment removal. I don't see any reason why Blood Moon should be banned. It's not even close to broken.
