No swords? They seem like auto-includes. I understand if you have budget concerns though. I also think Hero's Blade and Brimaz may have a home in this deck. Also, Steelshaper's Gift.

I'm a bit late to the party, but this is a pretty sweet deck and has given me a few ideas. I'm building an Aura/Exalted Voltron with either Giest of Saint Traft or Daxos of Meletis depending how competitive the game is. :)

I agree with mtgnooblord in that the swords are a good include if you can afford them. (I know I can't)

Dawn Charm would be a good way to either tap all your guys out to get damage through because you can Fog with it next turn, or save Kemba from removal, or stop some burn/edict/notnice spell.

Lastly, as much as I like Emeria, The Sky Ruin, I don't know if it's worth it coming in tapped, because I a few "games" to see how long it would take to get both Emeria and 7 Plains in play and the earliest I saw it all come together was around turn 16 - 17, and from what I can tell your deck will have won by turn 12 max.

Anyway, it's an excellent deck and I'd love to watch it played :) +1

Almost forgot, in 1v1 Orim's Chant is a better, more expensive Silence. :) :) :)

Simplynew, Orim's Chant is getting put in there over Silence, hadn't seen that one before. Thanks!

It's true the odds of both needing Emeria and having seven plains out are slim. But every so often, you pop off your Stoneforge Mystic that got countered before and it's all worth it.

Not too worried about protecting creatures from damage as I get half a dozen more every turn anyway. Even other powerhouse creatures are expendable except for Kemba. I used to have Brave the Elements in here, but never really needed it that badly.

A couple people have mentioned the swords, and not taking price into the decision, they don't fit very well. I tried to keep the three-drops to a minimum since equip costs add up. They're great for protection, but pulling Sword of Fire and Ice while going against Ezuri would be heartbreaking. The hexproof suite has been much more useful for protection than the swords, and they cost a lot less to cast and equip.

Thanks for the interest all!
