:-D
Okay, here goes:
-4x Martyr of Sands -> sideboard-1x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben she's legendary.-1x Wrath of God . Aggro decks don't want to wipe out their own creatures.-4x Faith's Shield . Brave the Elements will suffice-4x Gather the Townsfolk
14 slots open in main deck. So... If you want to keep this solely mono white, cool, but I think if you splashed a little black, it could be better. Which would mean -4x Plains for 4x Godless Shrine
+4x Knight of the White Orchid . Dude, ramp and a 2/2 first strike! And it says Plains, not basic!!! I'll divulge momentarily...+3x Lingering Souls . Chumps and evasion are awesome.+3x Sin Collector . It's my new favorite card. And it rocks!+3x Sword of War and Peace . Because Mirran Crusader and a 1/1 Spirit token LOVE that card!!!+1x Sword of Body and Mind . For the blue people. Smurfs.
Note that Knight of the White Orchid can tutor up Godless Shrine . Killer.
You may want to consider 3x Cavern of Souls considering you're running all Humans.
For the sideboard:
3x Timely Reinforcements 4x Martyr of Sands 2x Oblivion Ring 3x Rest in Peace another is Surgical Extraction 1x Sin Collector 2x Stony Silence , Divine Offering , or Disenchant
If you find yourself with too many 3 drops (oops, my bad) take out a Lingering Souls , 1x Sword of Body and Mind , and 1x Sword of War and Peace for 3x Elite Vanguard or Student of Warfare . GREAT 1 drops!
Those are my thoughts!

aeonstoremyliver Wow, thanks for the great advice, man.
As for now, I want to keep it mono-white but maybe later on, I'll splash black.
Knight of the White Orchid sounds really nice and could be dropped very early. And the Swords of X and Y are super good!! I will be getting some Student of Warfare soon. I'm just waiting for my shop to get some.
I was also thinking about putting in Blind Obedience and Silverblade Paladin .
I was thinking:
T1: Plains, Champion of the Parish
T2: Plains, Blind Obedience , swing for 1
T3: Plains, Silverblade Paladin , pump the Champion, swing for 4.
June 1, 2013 12:30 p.m.
After checking the prices for the Swords of X and Y, I decided to just put in 4x Boros Elite.
June 1, 2013 1:36 p.m.

I forgot about Silverblade Paladin
! Nice! Boros Elite
is a good 1 drop!
Blind Obedience could be very nice. I could see the Extort mechanic being handy late game.
Yeah, the Swords are kinda pricey... There's Trepanation Blade and Loxodon Warhammer , decent substitutes. I got to thinking about some enchantments that could give Silverblade Paladin and Mirran Crusader some further evasion and effects:
Angelic Destiny , Asha's Favor , Bonds of Faith , Call To Serve , Gift of Orzhova , Griffin Guide , Holy Mantle , Nimbus Wings , Serra's Embrace , Spirit Mantle , Temporal Isolation , Triclopean Sight . Obviously Gift of Orzhova albeit awesome, can't be targeted onto Mirran Crusader . Some of the Auras are more potent than others and I would pick one, then add 3-4 copies. You could wreck somebody's day and ensure a win, mon frer!

Spirit Mantle is hilarious. I'll probably throw Thalia, Guardian of Thraben in the sideboard to make space for it. Thanks again!

Sure thing! I made a Four Color Humans deck ala your inspiration!
June 1, 2013 3:51 p.m.

I forgot about Angelic Overseer being great w Humans. Also, Immortal Servitude could be useful.
June 1, 2013 3:52 p.m.
I'll probably go -1 Blind Obedience for +1 Angelic Overseer . Throwing a Spirit Mantle on that could just shut down a Thundermaw Hellkite . Thanks!

Sweet! In all honesty I think that Blind Obedience would be better served in the sideboard against Aggro mirrors, Splintertwin, and the like. It's a good card, however situational and not useful as a 1x of. I'd replace 2x Gather the Townsfolk for Blind Obedience and add another Spirit Mantle or even 1x Angel of Jubilation as an anthem and some auto screw against fetch lands, Griselbrand , Phyrexian mana, etc.
Btw, I'm excited about a new conceptual deck I made last night. Any comments and critique would be welcome!
June 1, 2013 4:31 p.m.
I like Angel of Jubilation . Does it also make shocklands come into play tapped?
June 1, 2013 5:02 p.m.
aeonstoremyliver says... #14
Angel of Jubilation would however nix the activated ability of Arid Mesa , Misty Rainforest , Underworld Connections , and the like.
June 2, 2013 1:45 p.m.
dandugg I can see where Emeria, The Sky Ruin would be good but because it doesn't trigger till at least turn 8, I don't think it's good enough. Plus the fact that it comes in tapped slows me down a turn. I'll playtest it though. Thanks!!
June 3, 2013 2:24 a.m.
aeonstoremyliver Yeah, this deck is CRAZY fast. After making such an aggressive RDW deck, winning on turn 4 has been my goal for every deck I've been making lately. Stay posted, I will be making a Merfolk deck very soon!! Thanks for all the help.
June 4, 2013 10:03 a.m.
wert19967 I would put those in but Cavern of Souls is way too expensive for me. Thanks though.
June 4, 2013 6:01 p.m.
Have you considered fetches to thin the deck out? I know Arid Mesa and Marsh Flats are expensive but the deck shuffling and thinning might help speed the deck up a tiny bit.
June 7, 2013 1:57 a.m.
Great deck, I also have a human white-weenie, more control-based.
Brave the Elements is awesome, always saves the day.

Nice build. Are you still considering Paladin en-Vec ? Have you ever thought about Field Marshal ? +1
June 13, 2013 5:47 a.m.
PriestessKikyo1 I like the Field Marshal but he onlys pumps 2 of my creatures so his full potential isn't being used. If ever I splashed green, I would definitely put in Mayor of Avabruck Flip . Thanks for the +1!!

Hey aeonstoremyliver, since you've given me so much help with my RDW deck, could you help me with this one as well? I want to make it as fast as possible. Thanks again!!
