I personally like Accorder's Shield just to activate Metalcraft faster.

Although Accorder's Shield does boost metalcraft, it just isn't good enough to go into this deck; I am trying to make it as competitive as possible. It also doesn't give a power boost, and the goal of this deck is to go on the offensive.

I appreciate the suggestion, thanks.

I love it! Definitely gets my +1! It's got a good strategy and looks like a lot of fun to play. I don't know if you're aware, but Containment Priest is banned in legacy :(

Really? Since when?

Also, thanks for the +1!

since always, she was printed specifically for commander.

I believe that all the cards printed in the commander decks are legacy legal unless they are specifically banned, but I am not 100% sure. The preist isn't on the official banned list for legacy either.

@ShadowsofChaos and dragon_slayer

Containment Priest is definitely Legacy legal... as are the rest of the cards printed in commander series decks like Flusterstorm and True-Name Nemesis.

Containment Priest is legal in legacy. All cards from supplemental products are (if they are not on the ban list). True-Name Nemesis was also printed as a commander card, and are used alot in legacy.

also.. Mirran Crusader is pretty good. I run 2 of him in my Death & Taxes deck. He has built in protection from goyf :).

Yes, that's what I thought about Containment Priest.

smackjack I was debating Mirran Crusader for a long time. Cound he replace Sword of Body and Mind or something in the sideboard?

I think you should move Sword of Body and Mind to your sideboard. The card helps your opponent if he is playing graveyard oriented deck. Same thing with Sword of Feast and Famine, altho F&F is much better than B&M. Maybe you could move SoF&F and SoB&M to sideboard to include 2x Mirran Crusader?. Maybe 4x Mox Opal is one too much? With so many artifacts over 0-1 mana you dont want the opal in your opening hand. Maybe remove one opal for a third crusader?

I was actually thinking of removing Sword of Body and Mind altogether because it is just bad. I was testing out one copy of Argentum Armor, which has been working very well so far.

Mox Opal is actually very useful in this deck for mana acceleration because of all the artifact lands. A turn 1 play of Ancient Den, AEther Vial, Mox Opal, and Mother of Runes is a great opening.
