awesome deck, humans are some of my favorite creatures this block, but i agree, o-ring is better then fiend hunter for control, especially because fiend hunter can only exile creature. only time fiend hunter is ever good is if trying really hard to go for an infinite combo, or if u boost him up, but boosting him takes away from the other creatures ur boosting, or giving him some protection, otherwise he quite easy to tackle. since ur playing more aggro i really cant see much else u can add :)

EXCELLENT BUILD, i really love it! It has a unique feel too it, fun to playtest, and playtest against, and you are probably the only person with a great sideboard on this site!

i suggest trying to make one with no swords, seeing as they cycle out soon.

If your biggest problem is getting locked down by control I would strongly recommend side boarding Grand Abolisher . Just a suggestion, but I think it could save you from losing to control, and at the very least, would be pretty damn useful.

@Kinder5 Most of the deck rotates out soon so there is no point. When the blocks change I will make a new deck but at that stage I loose...
So making one without the sword would be pointless at this point.
@MemniteShyamalan I've tried abolishers and they are good but honestly they are a waste in the sideboard currently in my mind. They may go into the side board after rotation but Cavern of Souls , Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and card:Grafdigger's Cage give me enough against the control that I verse at FNM. I'm not downplaying the viability of the card, simply it's viability for me currently.

Unless your meta demands it, 4x Riders of Gavony seems a bit overkill.Also, give Nearheath Pilgrim a try over Timely Reinforcements . In my testing with him in White Weenie decks, he's just as good, especially when strapped to a Mirran Crusader or a growing Champion of the Parish .
Take a look at Mr. Pilgrim in one of my variants (deck:boros-guild-innistrad-mirrodin-division) and you will notice that against a variety of aggro match ups gives you such a boost at staying ahead in the race, which is often key.

I'm surprised everyone else's meta doesn't need them to be honest. The amount of human, spirit, myr, wurmcoil reanimation , vampire and zombie decks around atm is astonishing. Naming any of these shuts down the respective decks.
Never thought about Nearheath Pilgrim but I think I'll stick to my guns until the sets change over in october, it's serving me very well as it is. Nearheath Pilgrim isn't going to save me verse hardcore burn but Timely Reinforcements is.

You'd be amazed just how much my meta was seven shades of Delver or Spirits or Zombies. Nothing else. Like the deck a lot. Nice work!

card:Conjurer's Closet to boost the Champion of the Parish

@Dritz Thanks man. :D
@fadelightningmm Um... Yes card:Conjurer's Closet does indeed pump Champion of the Parish ... that doesn't mean it should be included in the deck. It's a very specific, very expensive card (for the curve in this deck) that will be useless 99% of the time. Make a case for it over the cards already included?

Smite the Monstrous for praetors or titans, Revoke Existence for wurmcoil!

I like this deck it has good synergy but that fact its mono colored is off putting cause u loose out on some benefits of other colors. With Champion of the Parish u could use Thatcher Revolt or Increasing Devotion and he will be powerful. or green with Champion of Lambholt and all those awsome green miracle cards that boost.

There is a trend in magic atm that complicated is better. It's not true. Mono white is incredibly strong in this block.
Complicated is complicated.
Better is better.
They do not always overlap.

Still love your deck, bud. It's just concise, and vicious. My White/Black deck can't quite hang with it. The only silver lining is that I tried to design it with the format change in mind (I only recently picked up playing again after a hiatus since the original Mirrodin block).
