Hello, Names Alex and Im a casual player who uses some very vintage cards but they're still effective so i dont mind. Alright so the overall deck strategy works like this. The white half of the deck is designed to set up the attack with low cost but strong creatures like the Knight Errant and Diving Griffin. Combo these guys with the two Glorious Enchantments i have in here for the nice +2/+2 making my griffons and every other low cost white creature very dangerous. The Pacifisms and Arrests are there to hose up my enemies and to stop any offense in its tracks. The Black half is the finishing move.....in coordination with Glorious Enchantment im using Intimidation which gives Fear to all my own creatures. The Dross Golems and the Abyssal Specters are the power offense who hammer though the remanats of my opponent and to clean up anything the white spells miss i have plenty of Dark Banishing and Hand of Death to mop up the mess. Major issues with this deck are swarm decks which have too many creatures for me to handle.....and overall speed though i have worked on it is sometimes an issue......open to suggestions. Thank you

Now, first of all, you creature base, while solid, could do with some serious work.  Luckily we recently had a set released called Guildpact, which was brimming with Black/White cards.  Now, for good creatures, look into Blind Hunter($0.49), Orzhov Pontiff($0.69), Mourning Thrull($0.49), or Orzhov Guildmage($0.56).  Also, since you have a copy of Pestilence but seem reluctant to use it, here's a trick you may not have figured out.  With a creature with protection from black in play, your creature will be immune to Pestilence's damage.  So you can wipe the board and be the only guy left with a creature.  And all the better for you, most pro: black creatures are white!  Try out Order of the Stars($0.49) for maximum effectiveness, since it can gain pro:black, or pro:whatever color your opponent is playing.  Duskrider Peregrine($0.56) also makes a nice creature as a 3/3 flier.

Well, there's a really good way for you to do that, but there's some bad news.  It's not really within "budget" as I've defined it.  I'm taking about the new Planar Chaos card, Mesa Enchantress.  It's currently going for $1.91 each, which is still decent, but it may be a bit much to ask for a casual player's resources.  But honestly, look at how many enchantments you've got!  Thirteen, and they're all pretty good.  And if you did splurge on a few Enchantresses, you'd be perfectly justified in switching out a few non-enchantment spells.  Dark Banishing, for example, would work fine as Seal of Doom($0.42) or Pillory of the Sleepless($0.64), and that Holy Day could defend against a lot more swarm rushes if it were a Hissing Miasma($0.49).  I totally understand if you don't want to spend the money-- I probably wouldn't either.  But do know this-- if some tournament rat makes a Mesa Enchantress deck and wins a PTQ with it or something, the price of Mesa Enchantresses will jump up like they'd sat on a tack.  So, Alex, if you think you're interested, fortune favors the swift.  Also, if you go the enchantent route, which si probably the more powerful route, you likely won't have room for Culling Sun and/or Death Denied on the grounds that you want more almost every card in here to be a creature, an enchantment, or mana.  It's still totally worth it, but it's your deck, so it's your call.  I'm just an enlightened tutor**.
