I very much appreciate the compliment - just today I locked down the exact composition of the deck that I'm going to play.
Everything I've seen shows Crusade as currently legal, including when various 'influencers' play the deck online in premodern match-ups. An AI search came up with the following:
_Crusade is legal for paper Premodern play, but banned on Magic Online (MTGO).
** Paper vs. Digital Legality** Paper Play: Crusade was originally printed in sets spanning Fourth Edition through Scourge (legal sets for Premodern). Because Premodern is an independent, community-created format with its own ban list, Wizards of the Coast's official soft-bannings for cultural reasons do not automatically apply to paper Premodern. It is not on the official Premodern ban list.
Magic Online (MTGO): Crusade is restricted and not legal for play because the digital client enforces Wizards of the Coast's platform-wide removal of culturally sensitive cards.
Tournament Considerations Venue Rules: Some local game stores, tournament organizers (TOs), or larger convention events that align closely with WotC sanctioning guidelines may restrict the card.
Recommendation: Always check with your specific event organizer ahead of time if you plan to register Crusade in a paper tournament._
If it were not legal wherever I decided to play, I'd certainly switch those slots out for Divine Sacrament or Glorious Anthem depending on the meta, but either would be sub-optimal. It pisses me off on a number of levels that this is even in doubt as the banning of Crusade was beyond stupid in the first place and Bad Moon is obviously still out there.
Since I've got you - what do you think about 1-of Cursed Totem in both the main deck and the sideboard? I haven't played enough premodern yet to know how potent it's likely to be, and it has poor synergy with Mother of Runes. I'm strongly considering Story Circle in that slot, though I'm trying to keep as many cards as possible in that 1-2 CMC range. Tormod's Crypt is another option.
I gotta say, I'm old school and it's damned hard playing mono-white anything without Abeyance or Tithe...

Going to add a vote for Soulcatchers' Aerie, classic and awesome bird card. On the other hand this seems like a very polished list and you probably know by now if aerie is actually good or not :) Coat of Arms is another possible finisher. U/W birds was actually my first kitchen table deck ever and these cards worked well for me, in 60 card at least! The other thing that comes to mind is Tempest Hawk, maybe not all-in like some decks but running even 4-6 of these can give you a steady source of birds from just 1 card like a Squadron Hawk, maybe replacing a couple of the weaker birds like Roc Charger. Combat Calligrapher seems slightly awkward because I think the inklings it makes can stick around and block your birds? Maybe you could also shave on lands or art ramp slightly given your low curve and that u run cards like Tithe. That's all I got +1 for epic list!

I run a Adeline, Resplendent Cathar tribal humans/anthems deck that can get out of control very quickly. If you're in a four-person pod, Adeline makes three tokens a turn. If you stack anthems like Cathars' Crusade, all creatures you control permanently get +3/+3, including the tokens that just ETB'd off of her effect, making you go from 7 power on board (Adeline + three tokens) to 19 power on board (7 from Adeline, 12 from 3 4/4 tokens).
The only problem with the deck is it's mono-white, however I honestly genuinely enjoy building in mono-white. It's a challenge due to all your mana ramp being weird like Tithe or Land Tax, and all your card draw options giving opponents benefits like Secret Rendezvous or Cut a Deal. Either way, I enjoy the challenge. Since Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is mono-white, you have a fairly wide range of prison/stax options if you really wanted to go that route to control the board. Smokestack is a great option since you're constantly generating tokens and can just pay for it with them.
