White's card draw is orders of magnitude better than it was when I first built this deck. Back then there was so little available that I had no choice but to heavily supplement the deck colourless engines and two-card value pairs to fulfil the need.

Things started changing for the better about a decade ago. Now there's plenty of card draw to work with, such as punishing opponents for performing certain actions, rewarding you for attacking with multiple creatures, supporting specific themes, the Monarch mechanic, and sharing with other players for the political angle. White isn't struggling anymore.

I see Swordsman's Steel as a tutorable draw spell first and a P/T-boosting Equipment after the fact. I wouldn't cast it until I had other Equipment on board to get a few cards from it. I don't mind its higher costs when it offers up-front value. Expensive Equipment don't deter me if they're worth the effort.

I'm not really interested in Bilbo's Gambit. Reprieve works so well as a spell-bounce because it replaces itself. If I wanted a Silence effect, my first choice would be Orim's Chant for its more ease of use and the option to deny an attack.

Kili the Resourceful is definitely replacing Sram. The more ways to equip for free the better!

Sideboard Orim's Chant for Hexing Squelcher; good tip. For this deck I may consider if 4 copies Goblin Charbelcher is redundant, because I want to bring the Sire of Seven Deaths back to the main-board.

Playing Red still feels foreign to me, but I'm glad to pilot the deck, after the confusion of getting it how I like...

I've been playing Green sense 2000, and have an original build. If yer in the mood to change the attention towards mono-green.

Have a good one.

Take a look, I didn't implement any changes, I'm trying for 2 copies of Orim's Chant and 3 copies ofDesperate Ritual, removed Screaming Nemesis from the main board.

Although, I'll probably remain 'mono red' I'm playing with a deck construction consideration... Orim's Chant to replace Pariah, remove one Stormscale Scion to include Sire of Seven Deaths (as the Ironcrag Feat ultimate), also now playing up to 3 copies of Pyretic Ritual / Desperate Ritual playing with the idea of using Talisman of Conviction.

Haliya, Guided by Light is a decent CA engine. You could also consider Ranger-Captain of Eos to get guide pride and also give you some combo hate maindeck. Voice of Victory is maindeckable. Theres also that Leonardo, Cutting Edge card but I'm not sure if you would play it without the cauldron ballista combo. I do think its slightly better than essence channeler. For cuts you can trim on the soul sisters, or essence channeler, but the first thing I'd cut is righteous valkyrie, since its a slow clunky 3 drop that is also pretty win more imo. You can also trim on some of the noncreature spells if need be.

If starting town is just for essence channeler, I guess it is alright but u can run stuff like Shefet Dunes or Silent Clearing which are slightly better in monocolor. You can also fit more utility lands than 1 eiganjo, for example the untapped mdfcs like Razorgrass Ambush and Witch Enchanter.

Generic cards like tocasias welcome/mentor of the meek are sort of wastes of sb slots, they should be main or cut. In general you need more combo hate in the side since that is the main weakness of the deck. Mana tithe is ok although its usually a card you run 0 or more than 1 of. Orim's Chant is a good sb card against a decent number of combo decks, also helps vs aggro and control. Soulless Jailer is another option. I prefer Wrath of the Skies over wrath of god as well since hitting artifacts and enchantments is important. Some sort of generic disenchant type effect could also be good (maybe stapled on a creature), although skyclaves can fill that role. Deafening Silence and Damping Sphere are additional options. Obviously hit storm, sphere good vs tron and titan, silence vs some prowess type aggro decks, etc. Sanctifier en-Vec and Rest in Peace can be alternatives to surgical for yard hate, and sanctifier specifically is more flexible since you can bring it in against decks like boros to snipe phlage without running a dead card.

DragonMaster420 I think an Ephemerate package is cute but I'd probably drop a bit more of my low cost interaction suite to jam it.

I've tried Skyclave in the past and didn't like it. I swapped in the Emergency Ejects because they hit anything, are instants, can be cast off only 1 White pip, and most people run few basics as it stands and that's kinda my whole game plan.

Aven Interrupter and Esper Sentinel seem like neat includes depending on your meta. Maybe Interuptor goes in with the Ephemerate package for Reprieve, Beza, the Bounding Spring and an Eject?

I did already include 2 Orim's Chant in the Board as well as Disruptor Flute and Damping Sphere in the Karn board.

I guess I can't let this go by without an upvote, either...

How about Orim's Chant? Anti-spellcasting with an option for anti-attacking.
