Humanity will rise again! This deck is nice, although I'm not sure how you would be able to fit in both ash zealot and silverblade paladin without a mana fix like the one Avacyn's Pilgrim gives to W/G. Also, if you are using Faithless Looting - which seems like a great card for reanimator - why not put in some Angel of Glory's Rise and Unburial Rites to resurrect the angel and thus, all your humans? I've been tempering with such an idea and might soon figure it out and post it up front. If you do decide to go that route, this of adding some Kessig Malcontents for the burn on the opponent, or some Lightning Maulers for the haste on soulbond. Also, feel free to check out my Standart W/B Humans deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414043 and any of the other ones if you feel so inclined :P

Yeah, it's true, Spare from Evil is underused. And also, you were right to put it in sideboards, not mainboard (which I had done with results varying from excellent to abysmal depending on the opponents' decks). Other than that, yay, more tokens. I like W/R. And tokens.
Burn at the Stake is hardly underrated, many are willing to acknowledge it's strenght - so ask yourself -why- they are not playing it? I don't actually know the answer to this question myself, unfortunately. Other than that, it's interesting, and it's tokens, and it's W/R, so I guess I like it.
Haha, this deck is waaaay fun, and I've been thinking of a similar concept. You -could- use Reverse the Sands to bring the opponent to 1 when you are sitting on counters and ping him/her somehow, or better yet, just plain win using Reverse the Sands with Near-Death Experience on the battlefield. This would require you to have something to make the opponent lose 1 life, or for you to gain 1 life, with. I don't remember quite well what it could do, but I have a memory Lich's Mirror or sth. like that is similar in purpose. Oh, and Batwing Brume is a great two drop fog for W/B that can even damage your opponent aside from protecting your from gaining counters or stuff like that.
Seems fun. And expensive :P
Wow, that's a great deck, man! I came here from your comment on the W/R aggro deck on front page, but now I see I struck jackpot! I run some of those cards in my W/B Human Tribal deck and could use some help to improve it; I have even been considering adding red or green to it. Could you swing by and see it to give some useful suggestions? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414043 Anyway, a great deck :)
Yeah, thanks, I was thinking about that, already fixed it. I don't actually own any Kinsbaile Cavaliers yet, though, mind you. I will probably remove another Leonin Skyhunter later, but for now it seems fine :)
Lord_Sun_Fin is right about Knight of the White Orchid, he is just perfect for your deck. Don't reduce the number of Exemplars, though, they are a must, even if they are more costly than WW knights. Also, your deck has strong bombs, but they are quite costly overall, so you shouldn't reduce the number of plains, they are as few as possible as is. How about you remove 1 Light from Within as you said and 1 Pentarch Paladin and add at least two of them? Also, Cathar's crusade is very expensive as well. You could run Honor of the Pure instead, to give your white creatures +1/+1 per enchantment. It isn't nearly as powerful, but it is cheaper and easier to set down; also, you will rarely have more than one creature enter the battlefield at any given time (which is why it is better left for weenie decks). Oh, btw, thanks for visiting my Knight deck :)
Wow. This deck seems is so refined that there can hardly be made any improvements. Great job :) Swing by and see my Humanity's Dark Rise deck @ http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414043 I would love some comments and ideas whether it would be viable and necessary to add green to it (currently W/B humans).
Also, I forgot, but swing by my own deck, and possibly, comment :) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414043
This deck really is straightforward, cheap, with a nice mana curve. And I always love token deliciousness. I joined the site today and this is my first like :)
