Deck discussion for Modern G/W Liege

Knight of New Alara boosts Sureblade and Hushblade by +3/+3, so I'd consider bumping the Knight up to 3x.

Dryad Militant is a 2/1 for one mana, and each "lord" gives it +2/+2. This is too good not to include.

Fleecemane Lion is Watchwolf with the added bonus of Monstrosity to become indestructible and gain hexproof.

Qasali Pridemage is your creature based artifact and enchantment hate. It also has Exalted for early game beats.

Citadel Castellan has Vigilance and can boost itself.

Dauntless Escort is your protection against most removal, especially most mass removal.

Loxodon Smiter is a 4/4 for 3 mana. It also provides a bonus against opponent's discard effects and gets through counter magic.

Rancor or Unflinching Courage provide that much needed trample.

You may want to include removal too. In addition to the mandatory Path to Exile, I've come to enjoy a combination of Dismember for things with toughness 5 or less and Selesnya Charm for things with power 5 or more.

Thanks for all of these suggestions. I've already implimented the first 3, and Qasali Pridemage is already in my sideboard (waffling between it and Qasali Ambusher for main deck). My question would be, what would you switch out for the rest? Please note, that while Dismember and Path to Exile are great cards, I do want to stick strictly to every spell being G/W.

Gaddock Teeg is more a sideboard thing. Other than Tron, most Modern decks run at 3 or less, which is why Eidolon of the Great Revel is so good in RDW.

On paper, Tolsimir Wolfblood is awesome. In practice, I've found him to be too expensive. By the time I can cast him, I've normally won or lost.

The vigilance of Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers is nice, but Loxodon Smiter's abilities are generally more relevant in Modern. Alternativly, If I where to use a vigilance creature, I would personally use Citadel Castellan over Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers as it can naturally be bigger, despite starting off smaller.

It's a tossup on what you want between Shield of the Oversoul and Unflinching Courage. Both give +2/+2, but on one hand you get Flying and Indestructible, while on the other you get lifelink and trample.

I avoided saying this earlier as they're normly too expensive for most people, but more dual lands will help you a lot with all the gold cards. Of course I am talking about Windswept Heath; Temple Garden; and Canopy Vista.

Again, thanks for all the help. I have updated things again. I like the hands that I'm getting.

Personally, I like the Cavaliers over the Castellan (on paper), due to it being easier to cast and being more consistant, but I will swap in the Castellans for a test game or two.

With the Shield vs Unflinching Courage, again it comes down Shield being easier to cast, and it being slightly harder for opponents to deal with the enchanted creature.

As for the dual lands, yeah, I just need to see what I actually have.
