Understands that Tormented Soul is not as perfect for an exalted deck as everyone thinks. As you mentioned, he can't block. In addition, what happens when you get two Tormented Souls, it would be dumb to attack with both.
Oh, and since I'm here, what do you think about Shadow Alley Denizen?

Maybe you would like Legion Loyalist for a sideboard card.

Oh and I almost forgot. You should have burst of strength on your sideboard.

I really like this deck. There is actually a similar way to open the door by turn 5 with defender creatures. I look forward to seeing more of your decks. Oh, and good job on making it standard legal :-)

I would strongly suggest Elite Inquisitor since you are going mono white.

Now normaly when I see a goblin deck, I immediately think Krenko. But that would be to obvious. Instead I'm going to suggest Goblin King for your sideboard.

If you like Death Baron perhaps you should consider Cemetery Reaper.

Thank you; admittedly I would have liked to add more life gain to this deck but I think that how it turned out works much better.

That is understandable. Actually I think you're right about High priest of penance. There really should be 4 of him in this deck. However, I would like to point out that getting two white mana would be easier than getting one white and one black mana with the current land set up. Here is what I'm thinking. I think that even though he should stay a black white deck so he can run cards of each color, he should focus a little more on the white side than the black. If he was trying to stay standard it would be a different story. But since he's not, it opens up a world full of possibilities. As you said before, Electrickery is this decks worst nightmare. This is a perfect reason to have creatures with more than a toughness of one. So here is a deck setup that is forming in my head right now. Tell me what you think of it.

CREATURE
4 Akrasan Squire
4 Aven Squire
4 Knight of Glory
4 Sigiled Paladin
4 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Sublime Archangel
4 Silverblade Paladin
4 High Priest of Penance

INSTANT
4 Faith's Shield

SORCERY
4 Essence Harvest

LAND
4 Fetid Heath
4 Godless Shrine / Orzhov Guildgate
12 Plains

SIDEBOARD
4 Righteousness
4 Knight of Infamy
4 Burrenton Forge-Tender
4 Oblivion Ring

OK so here's my logic. First I put in a few more creatures as they're the foundation of an exalted deck(lots of creatures). Next I tried to put in a few more creatures with more than 1 toughness because 2/3 of the creatures had 1 toughness. Now only half do. After that I tried to condense the strategy by putting in 4 of every card instead of 2 or three. Last I tried to be more white based. As you can see every land has white as a possible mana choice. I think this will be more effective because I currently have the same chance of drawing a land with black mana as I do a spell with a black mana cost. Now before you disagree with me for taking out all of the beautiful black cards, realize that focusing on one color more than another is the best way for dual colored decks to use their cards to the fullest. The best way to explain this reasoning is by comparing choosing a color in MTG to choosing a major in college. You're supposed to choose one Major and then one Minor that helps you do better with your Major. However, if you choose two Majors, you risk overwhelming yourself and ultimately failing in both.

Actually I think the more lifelink the better. For one thing, lifelink depends on a creatures power so any deck that makes creatures stronger works well with lifelink. But wait, in addition to the fact that exalted and lifelink go together like cheese and crackers, they actually help each other defeat the opponents that they couldn't face alone. Exalted is weak against burn decks which make short work of all the 1/1 creatures on the field. However, any life gain works very well against burn. That being said, it doesn't help if all your creatures with lifelink are 1/1 creatures that die just as fast. Also, lifelink makes it so you don't have to block nearly as much because you gain back the life you lost when you attacked with a 4/4. This is great considering that exalted cards are very weak blockers. Ajani's Sunstriker fills this role perfectly because it's not a 1/1and it's only 2 mana. Truth be told, you rarely find a creature with lifelink that has power and toughness equal to it's mana cost.
As for Rootborn, yes I understand that it requires three mana to cast. However, the idea is that once you get a Sublime Archangel and a few creatures on the field, you kind of have the game in the bag. The only Question is "can you keep them there".

Yes, you can't go wrong with Nighthawk :-)

For a sideboard I would suggest
4 Mutilate
4 Giant Scorpion
2 Murder
2 Victim of Night
3 Essence Harvest

I'm sure this is not the best possible set up but it's the first cards that came to mind.

Wow this is cool! I didn't get your strategy until I saw heartless summoning. Then I was like 6/6 for two mana :D. There are only two problems though. First, any aggressive deck worth its salt will kill you before you can get any creatures out. Second, your strategy relies on Heartless Summoning too much. So here is my suggestion. Add either Mutilate, Cower in Fear, or Both. Next add some cheap (Just a few) creatures that are good defenders. The first creature that comes to mind for me is Duty-Bound Dead. Some other possibilities are Basilica Screecher or Thrill-Kill Assassin.

OK, here is what you are going to do. Step one, Get Krenko mob Boss. Step two, find the song goblins all around. Step three, play that song as you play your goblin deck. Step four, repeat step three until you either win or your opponent forfeits.

Sign in blood may be better than cremate unless you are seeing something I'm not.

I'm thinking of putting in Disciple of Bolas but I'm not sure what to take out for it. If anyone could make a suggestion so I could use this card to the fullest I would appreciate it.
