Play white creatures and attack while giving protection to your creatures and stopping what creatures they can get.

Creatures: 24
4 Mother of Runes
4 Silver Knight
4 White Knight
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 Savannah Lions

Other Spells: 18
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Pacifism
4 Aether Vial
3 Crusade
3 Mask of Memory

Mana Sources: 18
14 Plains
4 Flagstones of Trokair

Sideboard:
4 True Believer
4 Story Circle
4 Disenchant
3 Samurai of the Pale Curtain

It's a fast attacking deck with protection to ward off anything the opponent might try and do. Bonesplitter may not be that good but in this deck it can result in huge damage from shadow creatures or hard to stop first strikers. The only thing I'm unsure about is Leonin Squire and Spellbomb. It works pretty well providing card draw and if needed extra life. Not sure how well it will work in a real tournament yet, I haven't gotten to go in a while.

I would appreciate your opinions on this matter. Also, any ideas in general would be greatly appreciated. Although I know some expensive changes might be needed, I would love it if you could keep the changes somewhat budget(meaning no Exalted Angel or Jitte).

Thanks in advance for the help.

Well, Jitte makes any aggro deck the balls, so I would put those on your 'To Get' list if you're serious about the deck. I would also pull the Spellbombs out and perhaps run Aether Vial, being that a large portion of your deck falls within the 2cc range. I'd also drop the two Pale Curtains, they're not as useful as they seem, up the Priest count and perhaps monk count to 4 and with the remaining 2 slots, maybe run something like Serra Avenger? Her drawback sucks hard for aggro in the early game, but with only 2 and Vial to cheat it into play, I don't see it being too much of a problem.

Eh, just get rid of Sunbeam Spellbombs. I mean, you're playing friggin' aggro, you don't play lifegain -.- Soltari Priests would probably want to be a 4-of and Isamaru would want some presence. Vials could be good and you must be aware that you're basically scooping the combo MU. Also, I don't really think the classic 18 lands are enough nowadays. And in the classic Weenie-approach, Crusade>Bonesplitter.

Ok so I'm thinking something like this:
-4 Spellbomb
+4 Aether Vial
Leonin Squire is kind of underwhelming without the spellbombs so
-4 Leonin Squire
+2 Soltari Monk
+2 Soltari Priest
Crusade is a maybe I will have to try it out. Also against combo it depends which combo I play. If high tide then yes but at another place I play at the only combo deck there is one that has no prevention and at times can be quite slow so if I get going fast enough I can probably beat him quite easily.

One other thing I was thinking about. Once my hand gets low I don't need Vial anymore so I was thinking:
-2 Samurai of the Pale Curtain or something else
+2 some thing with card draw, probably Mask of Memory
It would make sure I don't run out of steam and that I have more creatures to vial in or play in general.

Thought's on these changes?

True Believer and Glowrider in either sideboard or Mainboard against combo.

How is the deck better than Angel Stompy, other than being within your budget? I would seriously try getting some Parallax Waves in there, they're pretty cheap and they're good at protecting your creatures or removing your opponent's. I'd drop Pacifism for them.

I forgot about Parallax Wave. Its a good option if they can somehow survive long enough to stop me. I'll consider it. The only thing is that Pacifism can be used early to get in more beats while also allowing for other things the same turn.

Also the decklist has been updated and now includes a sideboard.

I think you seriously underestimate parallax wave. If you have a weenie army, you're better off being able to remove 5 blockers for an alpha strike than only 1. It also protects your creatures from targetted or mass removal, and "morphs" an exalted angel (though you don't have those).

This is not the deck for Parallax Wave as A) he only runs 18 lands, all providing 1 mana each & B) does not have the creatures to truly take advantage of Wave (Angel). On the manabase, why not run a set of Flagstones? They work the same as a Plains, replace themselves if wasted, and can pull land out of your deck nicely when seen in multiples. Jitte & Vial are definite winners for a deck like this, as well as ways to hinder combo. As previously stated, True Believer & Glowrider are solid (although 3cc might be problematic for you) and you have the always popular Chant or Abeyance out of the side. Without some significant presence from those cards, you will lose to good combo - a lot. Solidarity, Spring Tide, TES, anything that can go off before your lethal turn basically ignores you - which sucks to play against.

If this is supposed to be a budget deck, then just follow the previous suggestions. However, if it isnt, I'd say splash blue. I've been running WWu for a little bit, and I've come to like it a lot.

// WWu

// Lands
4 Tundra
4 Flooded Strand
5 Plains
3 Island
3 Windswept Heath
3 Polluted Delta

// Creatures
4 Savannah Lions
4 Meddling Mage
2 Azorius Guildmage
2 Isamaru, Hound of Konda
3 Silver Knight
2 Soltari Priest
3 Mother of Runes
2 Jotun Grunt

// Spells
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Umezawa's Jitte
4 Remand
4 Brainstorm

// Sideboard
SB: 2 Jotun Grunt
SB: 4 Stifle
SB: 3 Blue Elemental Blast
SB: 3 Hydroblast
SB: 3 Disenchant

I tried out Crusade and it owns. Its going in for Bonesplitter. Also I put in three so I could another Mask of Memory for more card draw. I think that it will help.

Next, Flagstones in.

Thanks for all the help. I have been testing it on Magic Work Station and it runs pretty fast now with more power. If anyone has any other ideas I would be happy to hear them.
