you know you can play the paladin on the first turn with a plains.
July 10, 2011 3:15 p.m.
Yeah you can make white with the Mox Opal and cast the Puresteel Paladin on turn one, and swing with him with a sword on the second turn.

If it's Sword of War and Peace and you get something else to equip on the third turn, that could very well be a 3rd turn win. Impressing.

Ya, i could have a turn 3 argentum armor. I traded for 1 and then like 5 days later is was banned. it sucks.

Worldslayer for the win on the Darksteel Juggernaut that cant come back from that especially if you do it every turn.

I was thinking about putting it in the deck but, the deck isnt really about that. I will get to work on making a deck right now based around that just for you. LOL!

um idk man deck looks nice and such but when i play test it i get too many island you deff need to drop a crap ton of islands cause they arent helping at all i dont get what i need and ive tried it 4times...

Does anybody think that i should take out an Argentum Armor and 1 Tempered Steel for 2 more Sword of War and Peace . That sword is so awesome and if i have 4 and i get the combo in the description I pretty much have a sure win by turn 5.

One fun thing to do with Puresteel Paladin is run card:Ogre's Cleaver. I know it's generally considered an awful card, but most of the time it works. You might also want to consider Glint Hawk .

card:Ogre's Cleaver might work in this deck, but its going out. Glint Hawk I don't particularly want to run because 1. it's not an artifiact and 2. it returns an artifact to my hand.

Yeah, but seeing as you have 15 zero drops, you can return the artifact, then play it for nothing, which makes your hawk a 2/2 flier for 1 with no drawback. Also, if you return Mox Opal to your hand after tapping it, the Mox Opal comes in untapped and can pay back the hawk's mana cost, allowing you to drop however many you have turn one.

I agree with icekillaxx on the islands. You would only really use an island if you didn't want to pay 2 life for the spellskite or if you went into your sideboard. There were times where i had some paladins or tempered steels but couldn't use them for 3 or more turns because i was running on too many islands and not enough plains. I'd suggest swapping 3 seachrome coasts and 2 plains in for the islands so you always have access to white mana. If you don't have those, then it isn't really worth it to have the islands at all and just stick with the four glacial fortress for blue splash.
As for glint hawks, depending on your local decks, you could take out 2 spellskites and SB the other two. OR sideboard all the spellskites and put in the hawks. Also depending on your locals, you could take out 2 swords and sideboard them (totaling 4 glint hawks), or take out 1 sword (SB it) and run 3 hawks. They aren't artifacts, but if you have them out with a paladin and metalcraft, they can really bring the hurt as a flyer with free equip. having 2 or more out first turn is also usually hilarious. (really good tempered steel decks use them as they flow well with 0 drop artifacts and can add speed). Of course, it's your choice and requires playtesting. Glint Hawk Idol might also be worth looking into if you want it to be artifact

2 land mainboard; your curve goes to 3cmc so 20 mana producers should do it. And 2 more in sideboard for the sundials. Your magosi-stop idea doesn't work because they would most likely do that on their turn, and the sundial only works on your turn. Correct me if im wrong about magosi, because no one in my meta runs it.
