White human samurai themed aggro deck. What do you guys think of this?

Aiming to overun with small weenies then pump the hell out of them for the win

Pumping the samurai using Honor of the Pure as well as other means to make them as powerful as possible as quickly as possible is the main aim

Honor of the Pure works well at buffing everything, even better with 2 or 3 down

Path to Exile is there for removal, most of you will know its popularity is definitely well earned

Call to Glory is there for some unexpected defensive tricks or to throw down on the attack to untap and boost the samurai

Devoted Retainer normally gets down first. A 2/2 in combat isnt bad for 1 so he takes up 4 slots in the deck

Isamaru, Hound of Konda is the other one drop, 2/2 body for 1, would of run more if he wasnt legendary

Kentaro, the Smiling Cat and Sensei Golden-Tail all there as they are on curve and can trigger Konda's Hatamoto now and again

Metallic Mimic there as a makeshift lord to help buff the saumrai, decent for his 2 cost

Hand of Honor, Araba Mothrider Konda's Hatamoto and Samurai of the Pale Curtain are the samurai 2 drops. Hand of Honor being the best in my opinion, 2/2 body, bushido 1 and pro black is decent for 2 cost

Kitsune Blademaster fills the 3 cost slot, 3/3 in combat with first strike, powerful with Honor of the Pure and Call to Glory

Indebted Samurai is a strong creature, 2/3 body with bushido 1, let him sit back and build if they decide to start blocking your onslaught's

Nagao, Bound by Honor is a great samurai, 3/3 with bushido 1 and a +1+1 to all samurai when attacking, including himself, a good return for its 4 cost

Takeno, Samurai General is being used as a lord for this deck as he give a fair boost to the other samurai, a little overcosted but worth it I think

Majority of the deck comes out for less than 2CMC with about 20% of the deck being 3CMC or more

Im not going to go into too much detail on the rest of the cards just the more impactful ones, im sure you guys can see its a pretty straight forward deck angled towards speed and aggressive play

Run a few slightly different variants of this deck, decided to change from W/R to mono white as I was only splashing red for Lightning Helix which is a great card no doubt but replacing it with Path to Exile seemsd to make the deck flow better

Would love your feedback!!
