sunforger is an interesting card that no one has proposed to me yet. return to dust pops up from people quite alot and i kinda understand why. im not the best at building decks and havent been playing very long. so its kinda hard for me to know what all is out there.

also, Archangel of Strife Molten Primordial Boros Cluestone Timesifter Shattering Blow Angelic Edict aren't as good as other cards. you might want to try Lightning Greaves Stoneforge Mystic Chromatic Lantern Coalition Relic Wrath of God Day of Judgment

i agree to board wipes are probly nessessary. however for me i believe that Lightning Greaves is more of a stable card. i understand its usefulness in a deck just dont personally like the card. i would say Stoneforge Mystic is a good card if i was running equipment but im not running much equipment persay. Chromatic Lantern is always a good card in my eyes i just havent gotten another one yet to put into this deck as my other edh has it in it. Coalition Relic is interesting but idk if im compitant enough yet in magic to understand its true potential

The thing with Stoneforge Mystic is that it allows you to pull Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots , i.e. general protectors. Plus, its ability means that they can't counter your much needed equipment. Even if you just have those two equipment in there, its not a bad choice, but you can also run Basilisk Collar , Quietus Spike , Neko-Te , Grappling Hook , Sword of Feast and Famine (the best equipment card in edh in my opinion, Sword of Light and Shadow , Sword of Fire and Ice , and Sword of War and Peace .
I think you could replace Belligerent Hatchling , Fortress Cyclops , you can find much better 5 drops for his limited value, Foundry Champion who requires you to deal combat damage to be effective, Armored Ascension I normally love this card, but most of your stuff already has flying and if your creature gets removed, so does it, and Gleam of Battle which is doesn't fit the deck and costs too much to really have a strong impact.
I'd consider Blind Obedience . Artifacts AND creatures come into play tapped plus Extort???? Artifacts are huge in edh and having both come into play tapped can shut down certain combos. For two mana, its one of the most efficient cards.
I really like Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker . Its a good, "Hey, guys. Lets not attack me, ok?" kind of card.
Sun Titan is too good to pass up in any deck with White. It can bring back permanents, which is so damn abuse-able in the format.
Shattering Pulse and Shattering Spree are good, low costing artifact hate.
Other than that, there's the usual EDH suggestions for any deck, Solemn Simulacrum , Caged Sun , Extraplanar Lens , Gauntlet of Power , Sol Ring , and as the guy above me rightfully mentioned, you're in need of field wipes like Wrath of God and Day of Judgment .
Sorry I can't help any more, I have a huge Bio project due. Hope this gets you started kicking around some ideas. Take care, bud!

For mana fixing and acceleration: Chromatic Lantern , Darksteel Ingot , and Thran Dynamo are great.
Boardwipes like Wrath of God , Day of Judgment , Austere Command which you have, and Terminus are pretty much required. Akroma's Vengeance is another to consider.
For lands, you could really use Command Tower , Reflecting Pool , Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion , Opal Palace , and Cavern of Souls . Maybe some cycling lands as well.
Return to Dust , while it has been mentioned before, is just awesome. Waves of Aggression is really cool with Aurelia, the Warleader and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight .
Baneslayer Angel , Utvara Hellkite ,Basandra, Battle Seraph , Akroma, Angel of Fury and Hellkite Tyrant would all be pretty good here.
Enlightened Tutor and Idyllic Tutor would work pretty well with all the enchantments you have here.

first, you NEED more artifact ramp.
Boros Signet - take out a cluetsone of key run for it.
Darksteel Ingot - mandatory in any non-green edh deck. why? you need some ramp AND there are VERY FEW spells that people run which exile artifacts over destroy.
Thran Dynamo - very necessary especially with your general
Gilded Lotus - without a doubt add it
Caged Sun because with double strike + general gives creatures +4/+4, at MINIMUM, when added up. how?
1/1 double strike with general = 4 damage
1/1 double strike with general and caged sun = 8 damage
Serra Ascendant - dude it's edh. this is a 6/6 flyer with lifeline T1. this wins games when equipped with a Lightning Greaves T2. i've done it numerous of times

@ldvatwa i cant play Blind Obedience sadly because of its color is black/white because of the extort effect. i could play Kismet

oh and tlk_lone_knight -
Coalition Relic is basically a 3costing artifact ramp in many decks. but decks with cards like Voltaic Key , Doubling Season and Seedborn Muse makes it MUCH better because once you first main phase comes, it will remove all of those counters on it and add that much mana to your pool.
If you can only get a total of 1 counter on their by your next turn, you might as well just tap it for the 1 mana.make sense?

tlk_lone_knight - blind obedience doesn't have a color identity of b/w. reminder text does NOT count toward color identity. remember that.

You have so many large mana cost creatures, a Quicksilver Amulet might be a good idea. I have always liked them.

probably Touch of the Eternal . I would also recommend throwing in a Cloudshift , as it allows reuse of your primordials and lets you cheat Akroma, Angel of Fury out.

Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion is unexpected and evil :O , can every attack much much scarier

i agree Countertop i wish i had one but i will put it in my sideboard to aqwire
December 31, 2013 8:45 p.m.

also, Akroma's Memorial would make things like Boros Charm and other red things unusable, but its your call
personally, I would take it out
also, a Red Sun's Zenith is always nice in EDH, where you have mana everywhere...

also, with such a small landbase, Knight of the White Orchid or Weathered Wayfarer or Land Tax like effects can be useful when mana screwed
December 31, 2013 8:50 p.m.
tlk_lone_knight says... #21
i would agree with the Land Tax but what would u take out for it?
the redundancy of cards is due to the fact that you do not simply always draw the same cards, idk how many times i have top decked a Boros Charm and won a game with it.
i agree Red Sun's Zenith would be nice if i had mana to dump but as u said with a small landbase there are way better plays normally.
December 31, 2013 9:02 p.m.
I would remove the Touch of the Eternal because in EDH there is so much field wipe that it could be a double edged sword

you might find that Wear / Tear isn't as good as Return to Dust and Sunforger would be really good.
