Creature Spells ( 23 ):

Silver Knight [ 4 ]

Umezawa's Jitte [ 3 ]
Armageddon [ 2 ]

Deck Total ( 60 )

I'm thinking about taking out Soltari Priest, and inserting Leonin Skyhunter. I understand that having protection from red and shadow is a positive sign, but running the Mother of Runes enables me to not care as much about creatures with protection from certain colours, and shadow can sometimes be some what of a conflict when you are in need of blockers. Let's not forget the fact that Leonin Skyhunter has flying as well :tongue: . Wich is another thing i love about it. Feel free to agree, or disagree. Just be honest with me.

I'll be working on the sideboard from time to time as well, so if you have any suggestions proteining to the sideboard, please be sure to share them.

I would say neither. I would use Knight of the Holy Nimbus.

Here is the creature base I'd use:

2 Jotun Grunt
4 Knight of the Holy Nimbus
4 Serra Avenger
4 Silver Knight
4 Isamaru, Hound of Konda
4 Mother of Runes

i would rather have the priest then the skyhunter. Nimbus is annoying because of its effects but good

While Knight of the Holy Nimbus has a great ability, it will be hard to find a spot for it. I'll see what i can do. Thank you guys for voting as well.

well keep the priests in cause the pro red is nice and shadow is very nice with jitte

A red splash increases your goblins matchup by a mile and gives access to more speed, via Price of Progress in the side among other things. It also stops EtW, which is else a disastrous matchup game 1 (unless you go first, open a Chant and know that your opponent is playing combo).
Maindeck, I consider Goblin Legionnaire to be quite good with Vial, much better than the two options you mention.

I'm currently working on :
Lands : 19
4 Plateau
8 Fetchlands
7 Plains

Spells : 14
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Aether Vial
3 Earthquake
3 Umezawa's Jitte

Creatures : 27
1 Isamaru, Hound of Konda
4 Mother of Runes
4 Mogg Fanatic
2 Jotun Grunt
4 Silver Knight
4 Serra Avenger
4 Goblin Legionnaire
4 Paladin En-Vec

Side : 15
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Orim's Chant
4 Price of Progress
3 Engineered Explosives

Edit : what's the point of Flagstones for you ? Getting a pair in the opening hand and losing tempo ? If it's just Armaggeddon, it seems a bit overkill. You should never Geddon without board advantage that means you'll win whatever happens and you've got Vials already.
Landstill and 43lands are the only really relevant matchup for it as far as I know. I don't think that warrants two maindeck spots.

How would running Flagstones affect my tempo in any way. Even if i drop a second one they will both help to thin out my deck.

You're practically turning white weenies in to boros with what you are working on.

the land off the trokair comes into play tapped so once you do that you lose a turn unless its further in the game oblivously

Can you use proper grammar, please. Kthnx!

It really doesn't matter, so who cares. Anyways, I have always wanted to try some white weenine deck that uses pro red and sweeperes, like Pyroclasm. I think Eldariel made something like it. Forgot what it looked liked. Eldariel, got a list?
