Do you think that I should have more than one in the sideboard/main deck?

Naturalize. With how many artifacts there are in standard, it's a great card. Also helps against ratchet bomb which is a werewolf killer.
Yup. It's in the sideboard. In case I need some control instead of straight aggro. It's too good in a deck that's constantly moving.
I tried originally. I was running red/white and it ran alright, but the red kept getting weeded out for more and more white in order to make it quicker in terms of the creatures. Eventually all I had left was galvanic blast and Jor Kadeen. So I made the deck run a little smoother by removing the red. I still miss having Jor Kadeen though. He's too good.... (Though a little slow.)
I don't want to pick the commander (I would pick my favorite, thraximundar, but I've seen him a lot.) , but I'd like to throw Kaervek the Merciless in there. He's so much fun. (:
Naturalize. It'll save you from a board wipe from ratchet bomb. (Unless rules have been changed around ratchet bomb yet...)
Dragonspeaker shaman and Dragonmaster outcast are the two thoughts I have for this deck, but it looks pretty good to me without them. Also, MAYBE aether vial, but once again, that's a huge maybe. The mana accel should be enough to drop the dragons quicker than the vial could.
Goblin Gardener. Love that one.
I suggest that you find a way to deal with ratchet bomb for this deck. Naturalize would work well and keep the flavor of the deck.
How was I douching him by trying to offer a bit of help? I merely suggested an alteration and explained my reasoning.
I did forget to take the second main phase into account, my apologies. No offense was meant, just a simple mental slip. It's a nice deck and I was merely offering my two cents.
Why Sword of Feast and Famine? It really doesn't help you out that much. You have no reason to have untapped lands as your pool of instant cards is fairly dry. Also the protections are already covered by the crusaders.... Sure the discard a card is nice, but the main feature of it that causes everyone to play it, the untapping, is lost on your deck....
Goblin chieftain or warchief for the haste and second ability. Maybe look into tarfire so that it works with boggart shenanigans. Just a few thoughts to help out. (I'm currently building my goblins now... So still testing things.)
Serra Ascendant is incredible for life gain decks. It's not a cleric, but it's an great card for cheap, so why not play it?
When I finish out my goblins and human equip. Need to finish the first projects before starting another one. Soon though, bud. The only blue deck I'll probably have for quite a while. Just need to have the money to complete stuff.... (And boy am I starting to fear what Dark Ascension will do for/to my poor human deck. They've gotta have something that'll work in it. Blah. Money, money, money.)
Ah. Duh. I had the wrong idea about sun titan then. I've only ever played against it where it brought back creatures. I now see my error. Thanks for pointing that out!
If not going standard, I suggest dropping green and going mono white. It seems to run with less of a hitch than trying to throw a second color in there that, as of right now, doesn't seem to support humans too well. I actually have made a human deck and it seems to run brilliantly well against most people. (I play in a mid skill level group. The couple guys that a tournament bombs are able to beat me with their decks, but they've been playing for years longer than I have.) If you want, take a look at mine. (Runs a very different mechanism than you are running at the moment, but might give you some ideas.)
I like what you're trying to do. It's a neat idea. And I love that you're playing based on how you think the deck should be, not pure effectiveness. Play for the love of the game. I would leave the white orchids in the sideboard just in case. You never know when you might be mana starved and need him to kick out another land to help push your deck into rolling better.
Wait... A standard deck that doesn't have Birthing Pod in it? O: Awesome deck. I love how everything you have can be called back by the titan. Looks like it would be really fun to play. But why, may I ask, is phyrexia's core in there? It looks like the only target is your tumble magnet.
- Paladin of Prahv, + Kinsbaile Cavalier -2 Spectral Rider, +2 Mirran Crusader - Caged Sun, + Honor of the Pure Sideboard the white and silver knights and move the knight of the white orchid to the main deck. Why are you trying to do equipment with knights? Instead just run knights. It's faster and they don't need the equipment to run insanely well. Just run 4 exemplars and 4 kinsbaile cavaliers and that's enough to put the nail in the coffin of most decks.
