So someone posted a deck earlier that got moved to casual, and I'm hoping this thread doesn't follow the same route.

I think Puresteel Paladin has some potential and may be grounds for considering a new spin on a DnT type strategy. I'm thinking a list that isn't dedicated to metal-craft but focuses more on Paladin for card draw. Here is a rough first draft:


Creatures 26

3 Puresteel Paladin
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Phyrexian Revoker
4 Mother of Runes
4 Serra Avenger
4 Flickerwisp
3 Mangara of Corondor

Artifacts 9

4 Aether Vial
2 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Batterskull
1 Sword of Fire and Ice

Spells 4

4 Swords to Plowshares

Lands 20

4 Wasteland
3 Ancient Den
11 Plains
2 Karakas


Currently there is 1 flex slot that can either be 1 more equipment, spell, or land. The mana doesn't seem too safe, Ancient Den might just be too greedy.

Also, would it be beneficial to try and splash black and run it more of a Deadguy shell? That gives you additional artifacts in Tidehollow Sculler, and while you lose the chances of Mangara lock you do get Bob with a very low curve.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
