I am having trouble with my deck, mono-white might use blue or green either way. I need help, please. Deck list4 x Puresteel Paladin4 x Oblivion ring3 x Auriok Sunchaser1 x Mox Opal3 x Auriok Edgewright2 x Indomitable Archangel2 x strata scythe1 x Angelic Destiny2 x Batterskull3 x Dispatch 2 x mirran crusader1 x angelic overseer2 x flayer Husk1 x sword of war and peace1 x sword of body and mind1 x sword of feast and famine 3 x swiftfoot boots3 x Bladed pinions2 x Gideon Jura20 x plains
Could not figure out how to link cards on my kindle fire sorry.
I see Cathedral Membrane and it does look good. Though I do like both aurioks I have also thought about Doomed Traveler because he makes an annoying spirit. I think Cobbled Wings might be better because I need to block flying creatures I am having trouble with Essence of the Wild that is annoying. I might take Gideon Jura out and put in another Angelic Destiny because it annoys people so much. Might also take out Angelic Overseer . I am coming from mono white tokens so more help the better. Batterskull helps as a bomb late game. Elixir of Immortality looks nice as a game changer.

well i don't see how Essence of the Wild is a problem with the Oblivion Ring s and Dispatch s. It seems like those are easy solutions to it. I would keep in at least one Gideon Jura . he is really good after you have equipped your creatures and make everything else attack him. Deff put in 1 more Angelic Destiny . i like the Doomed Traveler because it solves the flying issue and offers more targets for your equipment. Etched Champion is another amazing choice in this type of deck. and instead of Cobbled Wings , how about Darksteel Plate ? if you can equip it to a spirit it solves the flying issue. Elixir of Immortality , i'd say sideboard it unless you come across a mill deck, maybe main boarding

Very much agreed. I think that is a great idea. I don't have any plates so that's a problem. Hmm I bet I could dig some up. That would be stupid on a flying wurmcoil with Echo Circlet and swift foot boots.

haha traight stupid. another idea is Shrine of Loyal Legions incase there is a board wipe involved

no it can't, protection only works by the creature becoming a target and with blocking and being blocked, day (along with all other board wipes) do not target anything.

no, Slagstorm reads "3 damage to each creature" not "3 damage to target creature" or "3damage to up to X target creatures"

I know its aggro but you could use possibly a few more lands; 2-3. you could up the count of Mirran Crusader to 4 because they are just such a pain(i run blue black control and I can't stand them, especially with swords). I would personally up the count of swords to 4 and drop a Batterskull , its good but very mana expensive, even with Puresteel Paladin . You don't need 3x Swiftfoot Boots my buddy plays one(white/black puresteel) and it functions fine but I'd keep 2 because they are good finishers. Take out the aurioks, i know metal craft is good but you can't always depend on it working. i'm hesitant on Bladed Pinions , its good but i feel like there are better equipments out there. Maybe add some Memnite s. when used properly, they act as an opponent using killspells or their mana then you drop it for the metal craft without having to worry about counters, etc. and it takes them by surprise. besides that The other cards seem to fit nicely. You could add some Porcelain Legionnaire s because they serve as both creature and artifact. you could also add some Cathedral Membrane s because they add to the metal craft and are titan stoppers. those are my suggestions, feel free to comment about any of the ones you don't like and let me know why. I like to learn how other people think about making their decks
