Looks like you need some easy removal. Hour of Reckoning keeps your tokens and kills everything else, and is surprisingly cheap with Convoke.

Other than that, looks awesome!

Thanks for the card suggestion! I'll definitely make use of Hour of Reckoning .

I really like how this deck looks, But where are the one-drop creatures? You should have some Doomed Traveler in there. Also, do think you could check out my deck Army of Soldiers? its similar to this one and I'm looking for some good advice.

My deck revolves around getting multiple tokens out and attacking the opponent so that they can't block all of them. I'd rather have a Gather the Townsfolk or a Raise the Alarm than a Doomed Traveler for that reason.

card:Captain's Call or card:Conqueror's Pledge?

Ok, I'm having difficulty deciding between Midnight Haunting , card:Captain's Call, and card:Conqueror's Pledge. Anyone have any suggestions?

Unless your ardently going to be mono-white, I'd suggest Parallel Lives .

If not, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would make this any better.

I thought of splashing green into this for Parallel Lives but after going over it for a while I decided it would be far better off just as it is with mono-white.

Emeria, The Sky Ruin wouldn't be a bad addition.

Emeria, The Sky Ruin would not fit my deck at all. I just don't have that many creature cards to really need to bring them back, and the fact that it comes into play tapped would really hinder me. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

There's some good grounds for splashing black. It opens up the excellent Lingering Souls , Vault of the Archangel which will help stabilize you and ensure you're tokens are always a threat as creatures get bigger and you can always toss in some black removal into the sideboard.

card:Cathars' Crusade might be worth including.

Depending on what level you plan to play this at, having a pro-active response to Ratchet Bomb will need to be an absolute must inclusion into your sideboard. Stony Silence or Pithing Needle are a decent start. With how Ratchet Bomb works with 0 counters to blow up all your token you either have to counter it our have something in the field first to stop it.

Maybe sideboard Rootborn Defenses , in case you run into a deck that is heavy with board wipes? Just a thought

I'll add both Rootborn Defenses and Stony Silence to my sideboard, thanks for the suggestions. especially Slycne for the recommendation of how to stop Ratchet Bomb . Although I have thought about splashing black, I think it would be better for me to have mono-white. I like Spectral Procession too much and Angel of Jubilation would be harder to cast as well. As for card:Cathars' Crusade most of my duels end by turn 6 so I wouldn't much use for it.

Martial Coup might be a fun card to add in here.

I like the Idea of adding in black for lingering souls and spot removal but only as duel land seeing as it isn't a necessity. as for a one drop you can't go wrong with Signal Pest has self evasion and can turn your 2/2's into 3/2's and since it doesn't already take a space for a drop it accelerates your deck to the turn 4-5 kill range.

I originally had Martial Coup , but I replaced it for a second Hour of Reckoning . As for Signal Pest ...I think I could find a use for that.

The only thing that I can suggest is Shrine of Loyal Legions . It gets out of hand pretty fast.

November 27, 2012 3:55 p.m.

xzzane says... #18

Hmm...Shrine of Loyal Legions would be a really nice card for my deck...but what would I replace it with? Maybe Midnight Haunting ?

Wasn't there a couple Celestial Crusader s in here or am I imagining that?

November 28, 2012 6:45 a.m.

Path to Exile is probably the best removal spell in modern, and vital for dealing with things like mid game Tarmogoyf s.

Remember you can splash black without jeopardising your white through the use of Godless Shrine , Marsh Flats , Arid Mesa and Fetid Heath

@OnlyaWerewolfonTuesday Unfortunately this is also a semi-budget deck. So no shock lands I'm afraid. Path to Exile is definitely something I will consider though...but what would I replace it for? I also want to find a place for Signal Pest if at all possible. Any suggestions?

xzzane says... #22

@Dritz Yes there were several Celestial Crusader s earlier. I thought Angel of Jubilation fit this deck better overall though. I can shut down certain decks and it doesn't benefit other white decks.

i suggest sideboarding Wrath of God because of the "can't be regenerated" thing.

November 28, 2012 5:18 p.m.

xzzane says... #24

The problem with Wrath of God is that it kills all my tokens. And that's kind of a problem for me.
