Skyknight Vanguard

Flying Whenever Skyknight Vanguard attacks, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token that's tapped and attacking.

Crow_Umbra & Mattio38, after playing IRL I agree that I need to lower my average CMC. I have swapped out six cards including adding Skyknight Vanguard as suggested. My Average CMC is now 3.17. Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Maybe Skyknight Vanguard could be nice in your deck? I think spiking at 2 drops is important in this kind of deck

I have replaced Castle Embereth and Figure of Destiny with Abandoned Air Temple and Skyknight Vanguard, which unfortunately increased the average mana cost of this deck from 3.83 to 3.85, but I feel that the newer cards are better-suited for this deck, so I can accept that increase.

I think a way that you can keep your Exalted theme, but still work around an inherent drawback of the strategy is to retool a bit and run creatures with Myriad or "when this creature attacks, create tokens that are tapped and attacking".
Token creatures that are created from Myriad, or that enter tapped and attacking are never declared as attackers, so Exalted will still trigger as intended. This essentially lets you punch one player with the Exalted creature, and still send stuff at your other opponents. Because Myriad is an attack trigger, you also get an extra Myriad token creature copies attacking your other opponents.
There are 14 cards in Mardu that could work here. A few notable ones:
-
Hammers of Moradin - A personal favorite for my Isshin deck. Hammers could be really helpful to open up attacking lanes for your Exalted creature.
-
Battle Angels of Tyr - Not budget, but also not outright busted. It can help create mana acceleration, draw, and gain life, but in my experience playing Battle Angels, it feels more like playing "catch up".
Some fun creatures that create tokens on attack:
-
Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin - Exalted will increase his token production
None of these cards are inherently optimized, except for maybe Battle Angels, but I think they could all add some extra spice to what you're already trying to accomplish.

OUT: Tibalt's Trickery
Good card, wrong deck for the moment. Could possibly slide back in if the deck feels powerful and I start playing against more powerful strategies.
such fun, much cmc. Gleeock was right; its too expensive.
Pulled one recently, and I think I'm going to refocus the build slightly on token creation. The Grand Abolisher effect is gravy. pairs well with Company Commander
One of our better cheap creature token creators, and the flying makes the floor significantly higher than at first glance
CONSIDERING:
This has gotta be amazing in a tokens build. The sac is a sneakily strong instant-speed effect (likely to go unnoticed), and it can be recurred with Sun Titan. Just not sure what to take out for it; hit me with some suggestions! My initial thought is Duelist's Heritage, which is sad because I love that card.

Depending on how aggro you want to be, maybe check out cards with Batalion eg. Boros Elite
If you are not opposed expanding the color base, I would consider adding . Boros has some great soldier tribal cards like Assemble the Legion, Swiftblade Vindicator, Skyknight Vanguard and Blade Historian. Plus Tajic is badass
However sticking here are some cards that might be worth a spot, Field Marshal, Commander Eesha, Endless Horizons, Valiant Veteran, Mentor of the Meek, Crusader of Odric, Myrel, Shield of Argive, Siege Veteran, or Preeminent Captain

Made some fresh swaps!
Smuggler's Copter in, Skyknight Vanguard out play it turn 2, commander can crew it turn 3 and you get to loot twice thereafter. Helps feed some of the graveyard-dependant cards in the deck while making sure we don't run out of gas
Plumb the Forbidden in, Deadly Dispute out same mana cost, significantly better upside in a token deck. Helps us refill our hand in the case of a boardwipe, so it doubles as a protection piece of sorts
Tocasia's Welcome in, Aerial Surveyor out taking out the least consistent ramp option for extremely dependable card draw. We keep running out of cards so this should help
Bitter Reunion in, Urabrask the Hidden out early looting with the upside of giving our team haste at a fraction of Urabrask's cost. Can also be recurred repeatedly with Sun Titan for insane value.
