1 Takeno, Samurai General
4 Araba Mothrider

2 Holy Day
15 Plains
10 Mountain
2 Samurai Enforcers
1 Godo, Bandit Warlord
I would also say that you should consider running this mono-white to get the most bang from card:Konda's Banner. There are some other legendary samurai or other guys you could use from the Kamigawa block that would keep the flavor intact.

Hey man, thanks alot. It does look better, even though I love my Chastise's. I feel like an all white deck, would have issues with CoP decks and protection from white, are they not as much of an issue any more? Also i feel Godo is ridiculous strong in this deck. I am working on acquiring Nagao, Bound by Honor .

circles arent a huge deal, and you will sometimes run into things that have protection run in mainboard (like Mirran Crusader which sucks if you are playing golgari) but most decks lately im going to say dont really use circles. You can always sideboard enchantment destruction to deal with things that mitigate damage from you. a Revoke Existence or Disenchant at the right time can save your life lol. I agree, Godo is a beast. Might push to 2 of him just to get him in play more.

i meant to add, but yeah, feel free to move things up or down for # of dudes in a particular color or whatever. That was my off the hip look at boros samurai. I built a mono-white version for fun on the site called Gaijin Samurai. Check that out if it gives you any ideas or w/e. I love samurai and would like to see more tribal builds like that.

Yeah well i've never really played magic alot, just with friends. Just started playing Friday night magic locally near me and it appears alot of our decks wernt legal lol, started playing online so i made my favourite deck on it. But it loses alot, and sure where its going wrong. The cutting down to 60 cards has helped alot though. Adding a couple of card:Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo could help alot, does feel like its tending alot more to the white atm though. Maybe remove some equipment and spells to get a couple more creatures in. Currently at Boros Samurai Deck (work in progress) finding Clifftop Retreat abit tough to find right now.

On a side note, I have to admit white is by far my favourite colour to play, that may show in decks construction. lol.
abdulbaqr says... #2
To start off, you need to reduce the # of cards to 60. Consistency is key and keeping the deck thin will help.
I chopped a few things out and added a couple. check this out and see if you like it deck:annulus-samurai-experiment
