Oh no what have I done XD!

Master biomancer scares my socks of. On the bright side, doubling season is too expensive and corpsejack menace is Golgari.

I can't help thinking that there is a budget version of doubling season ...

Lol ... cheap if you take out the swords ... which are precisely what makes this deck so awesome. Never fear, a man of budget replacements is here!

Just put in cheap artifacts! Pithing needle, elixir of life, relic of progenitus ... Or cheap artifact creatures like orthinopter, cathedral membrane, etc.

However, you should REALLY add darksteel forge ... it makes all your artifacts indestructible. Then, more creatures and spells with metslcraft!

Look out for exile decks! Sideboard more defense ... maybe lightning greaves, traveler's boots, etc. Or how bout revoke existence or disenchant (these two are cheap).

I love this deck ... have you ever thought of making a hydra-simic deck? (I now this is a budget deck, but doubling seadon would make this deck ridiculous ... maybe even broken)

O7 Mr. NorthernWarlord ... just my ipad's dumb auto correct feature.

I like it! How 'bout throwing in a champion of the Parish.?

(Dude, you REALLY pump decks out ... nice work!)

NorthernWarrior, I give my stamp of approval to this deck.

Be warned, I will take it back if my dimir-playing friend ever finds out about it. :). In fact, decks like this make me sideboard elixir of immortality like no tomorrow!

The best thing about this deck is that it's cheap ... but is sure open to the inclusion of great cards like painter's servant, student of warfare, Stoneforge Mystic, etc.

I just substituted caravan escort for it here.

Well, I am going to use student of warfare.

I would have painter's servant in place of Distorting Lens, or Student of Warfare instead of Caravan escort, but they cost too much.

Alright, I need to know ... what should I spend the mana from Nykthos on? It's just SO much .... any neat white spells with x in their cost?

And Indrik Umbra.

Hmm, now that you are not mono white devotion, replace/sideboard mirran crusader for knight of the Reliquary.

07 happy to help. Trust me though, if you find an outlet for Nykthos, this deck is over the top. And don't forget to add a creature with flying.

Add Knight of the White Orchard in place of Knight of Meadowgrain. If you go second, play on turn 3, before you play a land. Then play a land in the second main phase, resulting in 2 unused lands, and cast another 2 CMC Knight. Combined with a 2 CMC knight on turn 2 and possibly student of warfare, that's 7 devotion on turn 4. Play Nykthos next turn, and that's 9 + whatever devotion you get from casting creatures this turn mana on turn 4 (7 from Nyhthos + 4 from land - 2 Nykthos cost). Dude, that's EPIC. I mean, even if you get 6 mana on turn 4 that's really good. And it's sustainable. And what if you get another Nykthos.

To use all that mana, I suggest you drop in an instant/sorcery with x in it's cost, since it's flexible. If that's not your thing, add some serious draw. Or maybe some deck search with beefy creatures like Pentarch Paladin, beefy enchantments like Conviction of the Pure (lol, everybody gets double strike and lifelink), or beefy equipment like darksteel plate.


Now, if you do drop Nykthos, I suggest you capitalize on the indestructibility of your creatures. Pop in green, so you can have Knight of the Reliquary and Indrik Umbra (this + Mr. Holy Nimbus w/ regen and flanking = mass murder of tokens and even creatures + an even harder to kill 6/6 with auto regen, first strike, and regen from sacrificing the armor if you ever need to). For the lulz, Day of Judgement or Hour of Reckoning or Catastrophe or any other similar card (search MTG gatherer for white cards with text "destroy all creatures") Bring along Indestructibility if you choose the latter. If you bring along Indestructibility, make sure to consider Champion of the Parish as well.

I also suggest that defense against milling is added in the sideboard - Elixir of Life - and some more global enchantments - Serra's Blessing - are added. These cards will really make your deck shine.

Great article on equipment.
And Umezawa's Jitte is awesome a creature with double strike.

Keep Elspeth, she's a kick ass Galadriel! Maybe you can add Gimili and Legolas too =).

And for the record, Northern Paladin is my favorite card - he trolls black decks with his 2 White + tap, "destroy target black creature". Plus, you can call him Aragon like my dad did ... wow, thanks for the reminder NorthernWarrior! Make Aragon, err Northern Paladin, your king! And you may call me K-HP.

This is my second account. I quit my old one to choose an awesome name, plus my old account was bad luck. I did this 2 hr long research into green removal spells for a gnarly modern tree folk deck - which you should check out btw - and it logged me out right before I hit post. What's worse, my computer shut down unexpectedly and corrupted my notepad backup file. =(.

I learned the ropes from my dad's gen 2 decks (circles of protection, then started in M12. Still trying to catch up on all those fun years I missed.

I am here to offer suggestions. I made a mono-white knight aggro deck about the same day as you! Your engine - knight exemplar & brave the elements - is solid beyond belief. Trade out oblivion ring or just take the cap up to 70, so you can include 4 honor of the pure.
It fits nicely into this deck. If you have the cash, try Konda's Banner as well or instead.

As for creatures, Student of Warfare and Hero of Bladehold are beasts. I suggest you replace Knight of Meadowgrain with either Knight of the White Orchard for synergy with Path to Exile or Knight of the Holy Nimbus simply because he is freaking AWESOME. Plus, he works well to soak up attacks (he has free regen and flanking) and with Pithing Needle (which takes away his ability to lose his regen).

Truly ridiculous cards in this deck ... armored ascension, serra's blessing, fortify, righteousness ... basically any card that unexpectedly buffs your creatures with double strike, which is potentially ALL OF THEM. If you are into artifacts ... sword of war and peace, sword of body and mind, sword of feast and famine, 2 more similarly awesome swords I can't think of, banshee blade, or sword/shield/helm of Kaldra.

*pause to clear foaming mouth*

Also, think about adding a flying knight. I suggest Leonin Skyhunter, Skyhunter Skirmisher, or Benalish Knight. Alright, the last one isn't flying, but has flash.

Happy Deck Buildng! Take a look at my deck, Good (K) night!
