You're right; they are pretty awesome. I wish Spell Pierce and Counterspell were Standard legal though; I would definitely use them then.

I actually considered it for quite a while lol. I'm still debating on whether more drakes or stronger pike would be better; basically Think Twice vs. Thought Scour :p
I don't want more than 3 sky summoners since they're legendary, and I would be more likely to add redirect to the SB rather than swap out something MB. Snapcasters would no doubt be a great addition, but I just don't feel like dumping the cash into this deck for them right now. I also feel that as long as I can get some early drakes out then I won't need to worry as much about flashing spells back. Also, the Delvers are fine; since there are 23 instants and sorceries in the deck, he has a great chance to flip at any time. Also, I would love to add counterspell, but I'm using this deck in standard. Thanks for the feedback though! I'll consider some of the changes.
I definitely would change to vapor snag, but I was trying to keep it standard post-rotation. :p I think I'm gonna have to do some more thinkin on this deck; I'm not too happy with the way it looks atm. Maybe I'll make it modern! Thanks for the input though :)
I would probably take out Angelic Benediction and add something more cost efficient, such as Oblivion Ring or Safe Passage, if you're looking to protect your creatures. Also, if you don't care about cards rotating out, swap out the Murders for Doom Blades, Dismembers, or Go For The Throats. Again with cards rotating out, but Vault Skirge is a great creature and potential 1-drop as a good replacement for Servant of Nefarox. This is my personal B/W Exalted deck; only 2 Sublimes and 3 Isolated Chapels because of budget: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=379123
I had never actually thought of that! That's a great idea actually :p I could probably take out one Spirit Mantle and one Tormented Soul and put 2 Rancors in. Thanks!
