Or just -1 plains, -1 Elspeth + 2 Paradise Mantle. I mean, if you're only going to attack with 1 creature, the rest can become birds of paradise with puresteel on the field.

dahhahm thx for the good feedback again :)

Usually my knights get removed, so I only keep 1, at most 2, on the field. So, no birds of paradise for this moment haha

I totally agree about Steelshaper's Gift , but there is one small problem: tempo. The BEST thing that can happen to this deck is to have puresteel with one or two 1mana artifact spell, so u can put him on game and draw a lot of cards, achieve the metalcraft and then equip everything in a row. But if Im using I Steelshaper's Gift as a tutor, Im spending one mana that was supposed to be for the artifact and the possibility to have that weapon or specific artifact being countered. So, yes, maybe it will be very effective or not, I can give it a try and see what happens :)

I was really thinking about Bone Saw over Bonesplitter , maybe 2of or 4of, Im gonna give it a try.

Im still testing this build with 2of Elspeth, Knight-Errant . It seems to be a really good topdeck, and if Im running out of knights, I can produce some soldiers with it and make them really big, so its working reallt good for me so far.

I see Squadron Hawk as a filler, and Im missing some spots I think haha. He is better on normal knights build, with some Honor of the Pure .

I tested Infiltration Lens but it is too specific for aggro decks, and does not pump, so I took it off.

Knight of the White Orchid saved the day so many times giving me the missing land, and it comes untapped, what is awesome, I dont think it is wise to take him off.

Haha wow that was a fast reply. To be honest, I think my recommendations have little actual impact over what will happen in game. I mean steelshaper won't really thin and improve your deck, and it's not going to help you if you're just going to draw another steelshaper on a crucial turn. I think this deck is perfectly functional as is. I was just recommending ways to rock the boat a little.

And oh yeah, white orchid and elspeth can be amazing. Thanks for reading. Cheers!

You should just modify it, play with it and see how you like the modifications, change however the playtesting tells you to.

dahhahm it was a fast reply because I was online here hahaha

Im not gonna update yet. but Im gonna by the set of Steelshaper's Gift and see how it works. I already updated the Bone Saw because it really makes sense, and the +1 bonus can already be used for O-Naginata . Thank you again :)

kiy251 I was wondering and it makes sense now. If I tutor a Bone Saw while a Puresteel Paladin on game, I use the tutor, draw bone, cast it, draw a card. So, for 1 mana, I used 3 cards of my deck, making it thinner. It is a good trade :)

Ancient Den may help with that puresteel

Ancient Den may help with that puresteel

Hi firemanefruitcake, I know Ancient Den helps, but it is banned on modern :/

i personally see a huge advantage by using Brave the Sands

id replace Bladed Bracers with it

Hi firemanefruitcake, Brave the Sands is a cool card but an equip is better because of Puresteel Paladin, where I can draw cards, equip for 0 and there is a small +1/+1 pump :)

are you sure you aren't over looking it? vigilance for every one your creatures and the extra block power on two mana is an extremely strong defense especially with first strikers and double strikers. without puresteel, bracers are just another 3 drop clogging up things with hardly any boost

Im pretty sure. If I start to change the equips for enchants, because they are a little better, I lose the focus of the puresteel build. The equips are not bad, and Bladed Bracers is only 1cmc, what helps a lot to draw a card fastly.

Femme_Fatale may be well placed to give you some thoughts on this. Her deck Kor Legions really abuses Puresteel Paladin.

Hi MindAblaze! Ive seen this deck before, its a cool one. The difference is that one is based on combos and sinergy mainly, mine is a aggro knight with the puresteel support as a card advantage and fast equip. There are a few kind of knight decks: Mono white aggro, puresteel build, Black white with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge and green white with Knight of the Reliquary.

My dudes are stronger individually, and even without casting puresteel Ive won several matches. The kor are weaker but have more sinergy and combos. They are different approaches :)

I personally have a Knights list that wins quite a bit in our Modern tournies around here. I enjoy a good Knights build. Those Haakon Nameless Inversion lists are pretty silly.

What are your thoughts on Silverblade Paladin vs Mirran Crusader?

Silverblade Paladin is a nice card, but is not good only by itself (needs another dude) and do not carry the game alone. On the other hand, Mirran Crusader shuts down games alone and certain archeotypes, like The Rock. Alongside with my two swords, I csn have red, blue and white pro, and more red/burn hate on SB, what is enough :) (do not worth to put both because the 3cmc slot is full)

I see where you're coming from. For me, I think in creature based aggro you'll almost always have another dude to drop either before or after him to Soulbond to. Being immune to Abrupt Decay is kind of a big deal though. I really like him in my list. Selesnyan Evenings if you want to have a look.

In a meta full of removal like Abrupt Decay and Bolt protection is awesome. Silverblade Paladin wouldnt die, while attacking, the other creature would die and he will lose double and dies. Im gonna take a look in ur deck :)

Hero of Bladehold?

Hey djlindyswag. I do love Hero of Bladehold and Elspeth, Knight-Errant too. I tried both of them but it wasnt that good. I took both them out because they are 4cmc and Im running 20lands only, so I increased the speed of the deck. The thing is to take cheap dudes and pump them up as fast as possible :)

Given the high number or two or three drop creatures, you might be able to use AEther Vial to speed the deck up even more.

Hey TelleoStar. Yeah, I know... but to buy the playset u need a lot of money, what I do not have at the moment haha. But will be a future aquisition, for sure :)

Please add Kinsbaile Cavalier.
