Well, Dmander, I've got good news and bad news. The bad news first; if you wanted this deck to be built around Wrath of God, then you've built it completely wrong. Decks that use Wrath of God work best with a small amount of big creatures, like Angels, so if they need to play Wrath, they only lose one creature. The good news is, if we ignore Wrath of God, your deck does look like a pretty solid White Weenie/Equipment deck. So, the first cut will be Wrath of God. Next, I'm seeing a lot of single copies. Decks of this nature can usually tolerate having fewer copies than they could, simply because this style of deck has a lot of redundancies. When you've got four different creatures that are all 2/2's for WW, it's almost like having four of the same creature. Additionally, you have some single copies that do essentially the same thing as others, for example Pacifism and Kirtar's Desire. but still, I'd like to start by taking a look at the cards that you do have multiples of: 2 Synod Centurion A 4/4 for four mana- the benchmark of efficient power. This creature is definitely worth having plenty of artifacts out, especially in a deck like this. 2 Auriok Salvagers Again, a strong card to have in a deck with plenty of artifacts. These guys work especially well with "baubles", 1- and 0-cost artifacts with sacrifice abilities, like the Spellbombs. 2 Kitsune Blademaster Moving away from artfacts and into just good attackers, the Blademaster is another home run. First Strike and Bushido 1 make this guy a real heavy-hitter. 3 Skyhunter Prowler A solid card in any Equipment deck, the Prowler loves to attack unblocked for 1 and still be available to block. 2 Steelshaper's Gift And back to the Equipment theme. This card is especially important to this deck, because it means you can run single copies of Equipment cards. It's also great for getting you exactly what you need. 2 Righteous Aura This one actually has me a bit stumped. Paying 2 life to prevent damage? It better be more than 2 damage. 2 Wing Shards A powerful removal card. A bit defensive, but worth it. 3 Bonesplitter Excellent. I need not say more. So, you've got the foundation of a solid White Equipment deck. Let's just assume we dropped all the other cards. Now, what can we add (back) in? First, any and all Equipment we dropped can come back, plus whatever else you've got. Some really nice pieces of Equipment are Loxodon Warhammer, Whispersilk Cloak, Specter's Shroud, and of course Umezawa's Jitte. Next, you'll need plenty of creatures to wield the Equipment. Just about any 2/2 for two mana is exactly what most White Weenie decks thrive on, like Silver Knight, Hand of Honor, Leonin Skyhunter, Veteran Cavalier, and, whatever else you've got. Even Orzhov Guildmage and Leonin Squire can shine here, especially the Squire with all these Baubles. Which reminds me, put back all the artifacts with a cost of 1 or less. Sunbeam Spellbombs, Conjurer's Bauble, and especially Ornithopter. Try and get a full set of four Ornithopter. There's just nothing like it. Also consider Wayfarer's Bauble, or Arcbound Worker. Also, bring back a few Pacifism, a few Suntail Hawk (or Lantern Kami), and a few Disenchant just in case. That should bring you back up to 60 cards( I didn't bother to count). But if you still need a few more cards, here are a few good suggestions: Glorious Anthem Concerted Effort Ritual of Restoration One last note: I don't know why you have a Snow-Covered Plains in this deck. It won't benefit you at all. But it does work just like a regular Plains, and Coldsnap is coming out before too long, so maybe you'll find a use for it. It can stay if you want, but don't expect it to matter any more than a regular Plains would. Good luck to you!
