St. Traft just makes me smile. He's a ghost, summons an angel, and has great artwork as well as huge flavor. Even more, he works amazingly well in a Bant exalted deck, so that's where I'm going to put him =]

Hey long time no see man! I was worried about 3 legendaries too, until I played this deck. Because of how well those three go together, it's worth it to have the worst-case scenario of having them stuck in my hand. I'll add you to my list =]
Hahaha, I love this. The Saints combo with Rafiq so well. Mind taking a looksie? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=246112 Thanks man!
If Ooze Garden were instant speed it would also be amazing! LOL! Do you know if the additional combat from Finest Hour would need you to sac the angel token?
Oh damn, just noticed ooze garden has that obnoxious "sorcery speed" thing...damn, why don't they let me have any fun =[
The Birthing Pod's have that same obnoxious "sorcery speed" thing, but they're also just completely obnoxious in general!
Wow! I like this deck a lot! I'm honestly not sure how well it would stack up against some things like combo in legacy (doesn't interact too much with them) but man does this look like an incredibly fun deck to play! It's like the perfect deck in many ways - it looks very potent, but not too much that it's broken. In other words, it can be competitive, but still works well enough in the casual scene, too! :) Honestly, the only other main card I might consider off the top of my head is Knight of the Reliquary - it's awesome and just really sweet. I love the card anyway..
It seems like the days of Rhox War Monk are well and truly over. *le sigh* Ah well! I have to agree that Traft is sick here
I was strongly considering Roxxy, but I just like Nulltread a bit more for this build =]
I've never been able to get behind Nulltread, it's powerful yeah, but that Lifelink on Roxxy goes a looong way.
Hrm, you make a valid point. It probably helps that I just heard "Roxxane" on the radio =P
I love the Police! I haven't heard them in so long it's kind of sad though
Sorry to post random stuff on your deck, but I just wanted to point you in the direction of my deck challenge because I've got a lot of respect for your deck creation skills, and this challenge is something I really want to get started in my play group. Also, I think its a neat idea and would be an enjoyable challenge. http://forums.mtgvault.com/showthread.php?t=5587 (also, I liked your deck)
how does the extra attacking angel token interact with the exalted and added effects such as from Rafiq of the many? both state whenever a creature attacks alone they get this, but when you attack with Geist of saint traft it's putting out a 4/4 angel token that is also attacking along side him. wouldn't that cancel the effects out that you get when you do attack alone since there would be 2 of them now attacking? or does this fall on the order that the effects resolve?
Both effects trigger at the same time. However, since you are the controller of both effects, you can choose how to stack them so that the exalted triggers resolve first and the angel token follows after, allowing both to happen. Thus, you have a super sizeable 3-drop (potentially 4/4 double-striker or bigger) that is also throwing an extra 4 flying damage at your opponent each attack phase. This means a serious clock while also solving one of the Giest's biggest problems - it's generally small body and ability to easily be blocked/killed.
In other words, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oWWbAqSHcE&feature=related =]
That's a really creative application for Traft.
Thanks man, I've actually been having some pretty good success with this deck. Will it stand up to the "big boys" in Legacy? Eh, probably not, but it'll quickly get retired on our shop's "unplugged" wall of fame =]
I really dig this--I didn't know how this ability would work with exalted, but that's ridiculous. I've been tossing around ideas for a Traft deck, this is what I came up with, I'd appreciate you taking a look: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=240007
Are you joking i would sell this deck to buy a car!! btw nice deck, using exalted on geist nice to see him in something other than angelic or blades
hey surewhynot ive got a deck really similar to your heartless summons affinity deck but i use semblance anvil instead of heartless summons and 90% of every hand i draw i drop my entire hand out first turn and the idea is that i drop vedalken archmage first turn and then the entire deck but i just cant seem to get it off any suggestions? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=248803
DUDE. . . . . I love that deck man. it's solid. one question. If you have multiple creatures with exalted. whats happens? does it stack?
Yeah, it stacks =]
Sweet. that is an amazing deck build. If you can look at my deck. it's an elf token deck i can use the help.

Such a modestly priced deck too lol
The worst part is I was about to say "it's not even that much!" ...and then I wanted to cry a little...DAMN YOU LEGACY!!!!!!!!!!
WOW......I think 500 is a lot.
Have you considered Sundial of the Infinite to keep the angel token? Do you think the Geist would do well in a white/blue token deck? I have recently built one but I'm not sure about the Geist. It seems to me that it need a lot of support to work well.
Wasn't going to comment because I have nothing substantial about the deck to say, BUT I think I can answer the Sundial question. Short answer: YES. Long answer: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=357107 :D I had to look that up, but, as the thread says, you have to be specific about how you announce your timing. Like all tricks concerning to the Sundial, timing it right and ANNOUNCING the order in which you are timing it is everything.
how sick do you get of people asking you to look at their decks.... just a random question
Well it depends. I don't mind people who clearly are asking for some advice, in fact, I appreciate that they ask me. It's when people post their deck link and something along the lines of "Cool deck! Look at mine!" Those I don't even write down on my list. If you took no time to say SOMETHING worthwhile, then why should I, y'know? Soooo...to anyone reading this, just a fair warning: I will flat out ignore, and probably delete any "CHECK OUT MY DECK! [deck link]" comments.
I can remember the times that these kind of exalted decks ruled at FNM.. I get sad thinking about how often I got beaten.. Does umezawa's jitte add a lot to the deck? Just curious ^^ Oh and maybe path to exile or oblivion ring for a little crowd control? I could use some advice on my black karn control deck, could you take a look and maybe give some tips?
whoa, just took a thorough look at this deck... its better than i thought! it all works great together except for one thing... the birds of paradise kinda bug me... i know they can give you the mana you want but it just seems like they don't fit... hmm... not sure why... anyway, you seem to be the master of making decks that piss people off (yes i remember that black/white deck) that, and a combo i found online pretty much caused me to build my /ragequit deck (the modern one that's mono white) I'd really appreciate it if you looked at it and gave me some input...
Birds are great, especially with the amount of exalted cards he has here.
