That's fair, I was thinking of his use as part of a two-piece combo with chain veil, and he starts in the command zone. I'm not really sure how competitive your playgroup is, but that's the first thing that popped into mind for me.

I find it interesting that you don't include Teferi, Temporal Archmage in your list of banned walkers, is that because has on the card that it can already be a commander? I don't think that any of the walkers you included in your banlist are stronger or equal in strength to Teferi besides Tezzeret. Just my thoughts
So the deck runs by locking down the board, and then either finishing with Black vise/Stuffy doll pings or March of the Machines. I like it.
What is the street name of this deck?
Ash Zealot's a pretty good card, even if it's not a soldier. It fits with the first strike theme, and comes with haste and a nifty ability for RR.
If you have the money, consider dropping in one or two Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. You end up running a lot of nonbasics, and both Coffers and LoTD require swamps.
Drop the Leonin Skyhunters, they aren't really doing that much from what I can see, and if you take them out, you'll bring your card count down to 60.
If you're running crucible of worlds, you should definitely run wasteland/strip mine or some sort of mana denial.
Wow, this looks really nasty. My friend had a much tamer version of this running Curse of the Bloodletting, as well as Fire Servant. If you have them, maybe you could consider chain lightning over flame javelin? Fire Blast is also a possibility if you're tapped out and need to deal the last bit of damage.
I guess what I was really going for with the Braid of Fire was the "kill more" with Moonveil Dragon, but I see your point. It hasn't performed too poorly overall, and I do have the Pyretic Rituals that I can swap in if BoF isn't cutting it.
I like the title :)
After leaving this particular page for two years, and rereading my posts, I'm facepalming really hard. Reason I like vanguards is because of the more consistent damage I feel I can put out with them, but you're right, the hada freeblades are probably better. Javelins can also deal direct damage to a player, which could be that one damage that is needed to win. As a sidenote, the reason I ran them is because one of the people in my playgroup had an elf deck, and I used the javs to pick off his priests of titania to prevent him from getting tons of mana by turn three. Anyways, not sure if you're still active, but I still thank you greatly for the advice you've given.
Alright, my suggestions. I'd either go full out lifegain or just drop it entirely with the exception of the knights of meadowgrain. It depends on your meta, but I don't really see much of a use for white knight, silver knight, and lightwielder paladin unless you see a lot of red and black. Lionheart Maverick isn't very useful, seems to me like you're just filling in a one drop spot. Up the more useful cards like Knight of the White Orchid and the lords up to four. Again, back to the life gain thing, the only enchantment I'd really keep is the honor of the pure.
It's supposed to be more of a budget casual deck. Only reason Bitterblossom is in there is because I already have them. Yeah, it is more midrange. It was intended to be more aggro, but I shifted away from that halfway through, and forgot to change the title. Thanks for the comment though.
just a note, you probably should not have a ton of 1 drops, and instead have 4 ofs of the good cards
note: i pretty much completely redid my control deck, so there are some major changes
its a red deck
ur a tard. don't comment on other peoples decks just to say one wrod, at least give an explanation.
ir you don't mind using legendary creatures, then i would suggest 2 verdeloth the ancient hope this was somewhat helpful
what about verdeloth the ancient? you can buff your sprolings and add x
