I think Elspeth is the weakest of the new Planeswalkers, but she can be strong in the right deck.
She is perfect for this deck though. You generally have lots of creatures on the battlefield and lots of token generation is possible.

Tried the Strata Scythe and didn't get as good results as I expected. 3 to cast and 3 to equip was just too much if you don't happen to have kor outfitters or stoneforge mystics in hand.
Plus the deck is really land shy so doesn't end up giving much more of a benefit than the Darksteel Axe and is considerably worse than both the Argentum Armour and Sword of Body and Mind.
I contemplated leaving 1 in to search for it in certain situations but in all the games I played I never found the need for it.

4 Accorder's Shield instead of some of the Memnites and/or Ornithopters. It's equipment so it stacks with everything you're using AND it's a 0 drop! And it's absolutely awesome...

Comments please on my mono white deck?

I like that equipment but it's not as good as the other equipment I run.
Plus it won't help activate my quest.

Why are you using loxodon? I know it is great but it is the only thing keeping your deck from being perfectly standard, just wondering because you could just replace it with another armor.

Yeah I was playing two Argentum Armor but this deck was nowhere near as good or consistent as some of my other Standard decks so I decided to only use it in my weekly casual play group.
That is why I decided to change it up a little bit. Still thinking about adding green for the Fauna Shaman / Vengevine as well.

have you considered Brass Squire over Kor outfitter? Instant speed equip is kinda nice. Move your equipment around to creatures that aren't blocked so you can get procs from your swords more often?

Also, if you could check out my most recent deck, it would be much appreciated. Just looking for hints and tips to give it that edge. It's a casual deck, so it is not standard legal. There's a link below if you're interested.

I did give it some thought. Especially after somebody raped me with it in an online game haha.
It's just not fast enough here. I prefer the ETB effect the outfitter has over waiting a turn for the brass squire. Gives my opponent a way to deal with him before I get a use out of him. With outfitter I just cast him, attach Argentum and that is usually enough for the win if it is early enough in the game.

No squadron hawks? i thought they belonged to quest for the holy relic xD
on a serious note, rather than adding green, i think you should replace the glint hawk with swuadron hawk.

Just saw that you have memnite and ornithopter, so the glint hawk is pretty strong. But still you should try to add squadron hawk.

I don't want a typical quest deck because this deck is purely for casual play.
If I put in the squadron Hawks I would have to drop 4 other cards and I want to play with the other cards as I think the mono white version of the Quest deck is boring otherwise.

call the deck 'quest'. My dad built this and it utterly rapes. I would just go forth and 'live and die by the armor' if I were you. back up plans normally dont work. but if argentum armor is out and not equipped, i'd wait for the next set for puresteel paladin.

I thonk you should go with one more Argentum armor. Also, I would greatly appreciate some comments on my new deck. It is my first artifact deck, and I don't know if it would work, so I need some constructive criticism.

I think you could consider taking the elspeth out for gideon. other than that though it looks solid. If you have time, i'd love it if you could take a look at my B/W/U deck!
