Wow. The internet is a wondrous and fickle beast.

This deck was posted 12ish years ago, and much like every other deck on my profile, completely forgotten about. This point is easily identifiable by the fact I am calling Populate a new mechanic in the deck description.

Due to unforeseen medical issues still plaguing me to this day, and a general distaste for the direction of the game and those who play it, I sold off my cards and never looked back. My profile is associated to an email account I rarely use anymore, and due to my general lack of giving a shit, all notifications were disabled (including being notified when unsolicited suggestions were posted).

Call it happenstance, serendipity, or a clever admin trying to knock on my door, I received a request to update my account, including a password reset. It raised an eyebrow, and took me a moment to knock loose my memory of this site in general.

Holy SHIT people. Three pages of comments spanning a decade, and a cavalcade of recent commentary over the deck title.

Putting aside all of the 'silence is complicity' and 'you are allowed your bigotry' bullshit, let's clear the air once and for all. This deck title does NOT come from a place of bigotry, sectarian values, or a general acceptance of the White America hegemony.

The white color pie in MTG (and by extension, the card titles/art/text/flavor text) has always been the hallmark of an 'I am better than you' asshole agenda, and this was especially true when the deck first started as a joke about Knights and Paladins air of superiority over, well...everybody. Over a short amount of time, the deck morphed into a mono-white token deck when I decided to go scorched earth to create a Knights and Paladins tribal EDH deck literally called Dickheads and Assholes.

However, I also completely understand the reactions and confusion regarding the title, and it can be changed, but if I am being honest, I'll likely just delete the deck and/or my profile. Magic really isn't a part of my life anymore, and the last thing I need is to even be in the same conversation as pieces of shit running decks with Reparations/Angry Mob/Bullwhip/Gallows at Willow Hill/any other fucking terrible cards.

And if you are wondering how I pulled those cards out of my ass for reference, I literally saw the deck piloted during a 'casual' gathering of players, with a swift 'escort' out of the establishment.

My apologies for everything involved. And here I thought if I was ever going to get raked over the coals for a deck, it would have been my R. Kelly Conjurer's Closet creation. Go figure.

Interesting choice going without , just a preference for Teysa?

The Hunted above are great options.

Plague of Vermin won't force opponents to take tokens but if they don't and you grab say 20, that'll be brutal. Since you gain life it should be a good card for you no matter the outcome.

Acorn Catapult, Warren Weirding, Tombstone Stairwell exist, I guess.

Gallows at Willow Hill seems neat. You'll need to make sure you have a decent number of humans to make it work consistently. With 19 creatures I'd say if ~10 are human strongly consider it.

Genesis Chamber and Infernal Genesis should do good work.

Your deck seems a little unfocused. For example, you're running Stoneforge Mystic (a non-Human btw), but not enough bomb Equipment to take advantage of her value.. Also, it's hard to tell exactly how you plan on winning in face of a stalled boardstate (outside of Odric).

I suggest dropping the Aristocrat stuff from the 98 (but keep the Xathrid Necromancer ), as well as a boardwipe or two, and replacing them with some fun (Voltron) toys for Kitty.. One equipment in particular is Vorrac Battlehorns , as it renders creatures with Menace effectively unblockable..

On the Tribal side of things, Champion of the Parish & Gallows at Willow Hill are worth considering. Brave the Sands is a thing. And finally, since you're a Mardu deck that likes to go wide, you may really appreciate Fervent Charge . Pair that with repeat combat effects (ex. Aggravated Assault ) for maximum value

Just a few more; Season of the Witch, Black Cat, Bubbling Cauldron, Disturbed Burial, Desecrated Tomb, Reassembling Skeleton, Ghosts of the Damned, Haunted Crossroads,Gallows at Willow Hill, Bad Moon.

Can go to the gatherer and look for creature types like werewolf, zombie, scarecrow.

Or keywords like haunted, dead, grim, blood, etc.

Outlaws' Merriment seems perfect. Also Krav, the Unredeemed and Regna, the Redeemer seem like it fits. Vigilante Justice might be fun. Maybe Commander's Authority. Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis should deserve a look. Another cool card would be Gallows at Willow Hill. If you think you can make enough human tokens take a good look at Devout Chaplain. Keep the tokens coming with Hanweir Garrison. Homura, Human Ascendant  Flip needs a sac outlet. Good thing your Cmdr has a sac outlet. Requiem Angel and Xathrid Necromancer both benefit from creatures dying. And since we are talking about creatures dying why not add Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact and Butcher of Malakir.
