First I really like your deck idea, it's awesome. But I think you should leave red at all! So you can avoid the double-w-cost-problem. Red is only good in this deck for the "combo", but I think it is way better to just leave out red at all and play a pretty constant deck...

My only question is why you took out Kemba, Kha Regent . It seemed to fit so weel in this deck. the two white mana, maybe?

n3m3sls, that does look more consistent, but I love my combo too much to get rid of it.

As for why I took out Kemba, Kha Regent . Well, it was just too slow. Yeah, it could get ridiculous, but it's rather inconsistent, and I think the creatures I've got now work better.

As a general note, I went to FNM with the budget version and ran into Phyrexian Crusader . I had no response; what can I do?

Dispatch or maybe Even Dismember so 8 Sideboard crads should Be enough or? Of causen u pay 4 Life for dismember but i think in such an Aggro Deck you can effort it. Further its a good answer to Phyrexian Crusader

Sry for Bad writing but im doing it with an iPad and this shitty Thing Changes almost everery word. BTW if you lease out Red you don't Need the fetch Lands and you can buy Some Other good stuff from it.....

I started with something similar a while ago, called Experimental Puresteel Party. I've been playing and tinkering, starting from a very similar place you did, and I arrived at this: Puresteel Party, You're Invited.

I think your non-budget version looks strong. It has some different tricks than mine, but the overlap is significant enough that I think some of my experience would apply to rating your list...I win with it a lot. If you sleeve up the non budget version of yours, you'll win with it. A lot. Funny though...it seems to me that Darksteel Relic is the weakest link.

I put in 4 Dismember s in the sideboard for Phyrexian Crusader . I guess that's about all I can do.

And, crvo, haha, yeah, pretty much nothing can be done to make Darksteel Relic actually good, but I think it says something that at least it's not completely useless. Only mostly useless.

By itself, yes, Darksteel Relic isn't useful mossflower. However many cards could be deemed useless/overpriced as well that can't combo with anything at all while the relic can

Yeah, it's still my favorite card in here. Yay for ridiculous combos.

Hello! Have you tried to put Fling to this deck? So that you can also Fling the equipped goblin gaveleer?

Excellent deck though. I am trying to pattern my deck after this one. +1 :)

I would add 4 mortar pods! Super awesome with purestell and Basilisk collar

Fling and Mortarpod ? Would be funny, but I already worry about the creature count; I don't want to be getting rid of them myself.

Mortar pod bring's a creature with it ;)

So I'm not sure if you'll respond to this, but why not use Golem-Skin Gauntlets or Bone Saw? Additionally, couldn't this build also work with a lot of mana rocks, and/or trade out Puresteel Paladin for say Thoughtcast?

It's been years since I last looked at this deck, so I was pretty surprised to see a notification about it. Even though it currently shows up as a Modern deck, this was originally a Standard deck. The cards you're suggesting simply weren't Standard legal at the same time this deck was. I wouldn't recommend playing this deck now except super casually, since the power level in Modern is significantly higher than that of a Standard deck. If you want a semi-competitive (like tier 3, I guess) version of this deck, there are other Modern Cheerios list on this site. Like this 1: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/puresteel-pandamonium/
