Deck Description

Most puresteel decks play a UW build, but there are a few cards in white that I really enjoy, namely birds. beast within is also a powerful card (that I like more than o-ring because you can use it on your own lands late game in order to get a 3/3, and you can take down their walkers or other cards.

I'm basically dropping trinket mage and preordain for birds(which, btw, CAN attack), thrun, and Ezuri's Brigade.

Thrun is awesome as he is hexproof so he has awesome evasion.
Ezuri's Brigade is one of the most efficient metalcraft cards in existence.

Skipped out on inkmoth because GW manland is tougher, and easy to get out in GW. It also survives bird attacks. :)

SoB&M for valakut, along with extraction and (maybe) spellskite
Spellskite for evasion and can attack
crusader against the (very) rough vamp matchup
kor firewalker against BR vamps and RDW/Goblins
Dismember against Splintertwin
Extraction for Twin and Valakut
Thrun against control matchups.
--------------
the Jury's still up on whether or not I prefer this over UW puresteel, as trinket mage is beyond solid, but this deck has bigger cards and better finishers, and might be a turn or two faster depending on draws. It also has more evasion which is always nice.

Deck discussion for GW puresteel

+2 Spellskites main would be good at protecting your puresteels, and why only one sylvok and 6 creature removal spells, 4 dispatch aren't enough? That said, good deck.
