Have you ever wondered how to build an Exalted Deck?? Well this is Billy Mays here with Shazam!... Just kidding, he is dead. RIP Billy Mays
This deck is an alteration from my first exalted deck. With M14 coming out, I wanted to get my last enjoyment out of it before half of the deck cycles out.
Some changes were made, such as putting in the Fiendslayer Paladin. It is such a good aggro card for white, and although it doesnt have protection from red and black, it cant be targeted by red or black spells. Therefore that knocks out just about all baseline removal: [Searing Spear, Doom Blade, Shock, Putrefy, etc...] The lifelink and first strike are just Icing on the cake.
The next card that came into this build was Silence. This card wrecks face. Typically turn four against midrange decks they play their beatsticks. One I can think of off the top of my head is Huntmaster of the Fells. Play silence at their upkeep and it sets them back a turn. Same goes for any deck you play, if you know what turns their staples come out on, you can simply silence to set them back. Additionally, Silence works great on your turn as well. Control matchups are always annoying, No? Well kiss your problems goodbye. No more hoping they wont counter your Sublime Archangel etc... Tell them to shut their mouth and pop Silence at the start of your turn, and if they decide to counter it, they've wasted it. If they don't, they cant counter anything anyways. Its a win win situation.... For you at least...
The next card on the list is Brave the Elements. Previously, Faith's Shield was used, but this just seems to be a better card. Granted, I cant protect desecration demon or Vampire Nighthawk, [Which I am thinking about replacing for a Xathrid Necromancer, due to the great number of humans in this deck] But Brave the Elements Gives ALL white creatures protection, not just one.
A few other alterations that were made, but not from M14 were:
Doomed Traveler- He is a 2 for 1 and a chump blocker. Ain't nobody got time to be blocking with Exalted creatures!
He also turns into a flier which is even better with exalted stacks.
Champion of the Parish- Because HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS
Anyways, Its almost done, Im just loking for a little sideboard help, and whether to keep vampire nighthawk, or take him out for Xathrid Necromancer. Im leaning towards the latter of the two, simply because I lose a creature, I get a creature. Boardwipes wouldnt be as big of a problem, because I would have as many 2/2 Zombies as I had humans. Also, someone sees a nighthawk, and they say, "well this just wont do!" Then they spear him. Granted, his flying deathtouch and lifelink are all great assets, I just cant decide. The other option would be to take out desecration demon and add the 3 drop Necromancer. Anyways, help is greatly appreciated.
