U/W Stoneblade

[Racquet]

Hi, I'm new here and I just wanted to give my take on my blue white stoneblade deck. I know jeskai and esper are the better colors, but I don't own a volc or a usea (yet) but I really wanted to play stoneblade. I'm looking for advice on my decklist to make it competitive till I can get the more expensive duals. Any help is appreciated! :)

I've been told to try the thopter sword combo, but the problem is I have no idea what to cut.

Once again, any help is gladly appreciated. Thank you :)

Welcome to the forum.

You can cut 3 Spell Pierce for 2 Thopter Foundry and 1 Sword of the Meek. Spell Pierce in your deck isn't great. You are trying to play a longer game, and Spell Pierce has very diminishing returns late, since you have no mana denial plan.

Good luck!

Maybe add 2x Back to Basics to take advantage of your lack of splash colors?

[Racquet]

I thought about cutting the spell pierces down to 1 and then cutting something else for the sword of the meek. But I didn't know what else to cut. I also wanted to add in elspeth knight errant but I don't think she's particularly good right now.

Do you guys feel my deck is competitive enough until I get the other splash of colors?

[solidbass]

It depends on your meta. Also, 4 True name is where you want to be with straight U/W. B2B in the side is a good idea too.

[Racquet]

There's a lot of miracles that I play against. I also have a lot of the stuff for elves, just in case I can't make this deck compete. Anyways, do you guys think I should run git probe?

[solidbass]

Miracles is a pretty bad matchup for Stoneblade. Mishra's factories would help to improve it though. If you're running git probe you might want to go on a more aggressive plan with Delver n such.

What do you guys think about cutting two spell pierces for an elspeth knight errant and nahiri main board?
