Starting an Exalted/Bushido/Deathtouch deck....ideas?

I recently picked up Rafiq of the Many ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewCard_Popup.aspx?CardName=Rafiq%20of%20the%20Many&Edition=ALA&Print=1 )

What I want to do with him is create a deck focused around using a few creatures to do a great deal of damage through Rafiq's wild exalted bonuses.

Some ideas I have in mind:

-Deathtouch+Double Strike to render creatures unblockable
-Bushido to discourage blocking
-Celestial Mantle and other big buffs that benefit greatly from double strike
-Something to make Rafiq deal a great deal of damage VERY quickly, perhaps Gigantomancer
-Definitely going to include the Knight Exemplar and Hero of Bladehold, the indestructible is always a perk.
-Grappling Hook+Scythe of the Wretched maybe....
-Deathtouch W/Blu/G cards? not sure of any names for them offhand
-Anything with no-tap buff abilities


any cards pop into mind on this?

Well the deck would reasonably have creatures which do things other than attack (since realy you need just one attacking creature and you are set). Stoneforge mystic would be a good drop, to suck out one-of equipment like (depending on budget) swords or even Behemoth's sledge.

You would also reasonably want cards that would defend against zoo decks which would just overwhelm you with creature numbers, so cards like day of judgment or Lightmine field comes to mind.

Lastly, something big that could bring back your smaller creatures like Sun titan would be a great finisher, especially since a 6/6 double strike vigilance with exalted bonus and a behemoth sledge would just... well ya.

This is just a quick deck that i threw together that could work (though it's pretty budgeted as far as decks go, so it can only get better from there with a slightly higher budget for things like swords, snapcaster mage, fetchlands and dual lands, etc...)

A card that comes to mind right from the bat that will help with your Bushido is Sensei Golden Tail.
