This is an old deck that I decided to reassemble and update. It revolves entirely around the exalted mechanic.Yes, Nefarox and Battlegrace Angel are not that great, but if I don't put them in this deck they won't go into any of my decks, so they're here. Something like Tormented Soul or another plains and a 4th Aven Squire would likely be a better add.Suggestions are welcome.
Try to get as many instances of exalted on the battlefield as possible. There are many low-cost exalted creatures in the deck to achieve this, as well as the Cathedrals. Use Sheltered by Ghosts and Legions to Ashes to take annoying things out of play, and Night's Whisper to refill on cards.If the opponent has board wipes, Eerie Interlude can be added in to save your creatures, while Immortal Servitude can be added in to recover any of the dead low-cost exalted creatures if the opponent has a lot of removal. Safe Passage can be added to protect from Overrun style strategies and Fight as One can help protect certain creatures like Sublime Archangel from spot removal. Cloudshift would be a good alternative.

Nice concept! Never really given consideration of EXALTED triggering from multiple creatures

Thank you! The real kicker is Sublime Archangel, which can give creatures more than one instance of Exalted. So even with just 3 creatures out, including Sublime Archangel, a solo attacking creature gets +5/+5.
Very Sweet
The exalted cascade effect is a fun one with which to play around. There's a couple things you can tweak here that will help your plan, as you want to go as quickly as possible, playing a creature every turn from 1-3 so that your attacker is a real threat, after which you can drop creatures as needed while fixing threats.Builder's Blessing is a good idea, as you'll have lots of blockers available, but you really don't care what opponent's doing attacker wise, as you'll (hopefully) be winning the damage race and always have emergency blockers available, so really it will just slow you down.Swift Justice is good for a little lifegain, but this deck doesn't need it (you have no significant source of loss of life and will try to win the damage race), and you don't need the first strike because your critter will almost certainly be bigger than the available blockers, so it's not giving you the bang for your buck you need in that slot.Nefarox is WAAAAAY too slow for a build like this, as if you've got 6 mana available, you've either probably already lost or are in a spot where a big baddie won't help you. Same argument for Battlegrace Angel.Sign in Blood is a good idea for the refill, but it's a worse version of Night's Whisper due to the double black mana cost. Blood can technically hit an opponent for the last 2 damage to close out a game, but you'd much rather not have to worry about the mana, especially since this deck only runs 8 black sources.Murder is nice/straightforward, but costs kind of a lot for what it does (especially with the double black), and only kills critters, so it can't deal with recursion/noncritters, etc. Legions to Ashes handles everything but lands, and exiles it to boot. It's not an instant, but the increased utility and playability (colors) more than makes up for that.Angelic Benediction is another exalted to stack and helps with blocker problems, but it's a 4-drop and you can get its effect in better ways, so I'd consider replacing it. Ideally you'd run Authority of the Consuls, as it's cheap as hell (another turn 1 drop that will win you the game) and slows opponent's blockers to a crawl, but it's 6 bucks a pop, so I'm not sure if that's in the budget. If it is, you very, very much would like to run it.
Great suggestions! I get what you mean about Swift Justice, so it can be replaced.You are completely correct about Nefarox and Battlegrace. I just don't have another deck to slot my copies of either of them in. If were to play this deck seriously I would definitely remove them for Something like Tormented Soul or move Eerie Interlude or something into the main deck in their place.Your point about only having 8 black mana sources actually reminded me that I have two Isolated Chapels sitting in a binder since I didn't have a black/white deck before this one.I definitely like Legions to Ashes more than Murder for a deck like this, and I can see the usefulness of Authority of the Consuls over Angelic Benediction, even if it lacks an exalted trigger. I should be able to get a hold of a couple copies.Thanks!
