Talus Paladin
Creature — Human Knight Ally
Whenever Talus Paladin or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, you may have Allies you control gain lifelink until end of turn, and you may put a +1/+1 counter on Talus Paladin.

- Don't play Counterspell. You tap out most of your turns, and the double blue is not going to work with your mana base.
- Don't play blue at all. Halimar Excavator in this build is weak, as you have only 2 March from the Tomb as a payoff. And that is also not the best. Void Rend can be replaced by a lot of other removals.
- You should avoid 5 mana cards. With only 20 lands in your deck, you won't be able to play them.
- Play 4 Hada Freeblade. It's the best turn 1 play you have.
- An aggro deck needs some other 1 mana plays as well. I would suggest maybe some 2 Expedition Envoy, 2 Changeling Outcast and 1 Cliffside Lookout. That would bring the number of 1 mana creatures in your deck to 9, which is about right if you want to have one in your opening hand.
- Retreat to Emeria and Kor Entanglers are garbage. Don't play any of them.
- Don't play more than 1 Lantern Scout. Second copy does pretty much nothing. Talus Paladin is better and you should play 2-3.
- In the end, you have to decide whether you want to go all-in on life-gain/drain, or all-in on attacking and +1/+1 counters. Now you are split and then you do neither efficiently.
- The path with attacking is probably better. In that case, you want to play 4 Kazandu Blademaster, 4 Bojuka Brigand, 4 Kabira Evangel, a few Rally the Ranks and remove Cliffhaven Vampire, Ondu Cleric.
- If you go with life-gain, add 4 Serene Steward

This seems pretty solid. I think Talus Paladin could be kind of useful in here. Also, did you consider Pack's Disdain as a removal spell?

Oh! As for Talus Paladin , I can see your point -- Might side him for now, see if it works upping Cohort and putting in some Envoys.

I love this deck, i am playing a slower white black version with a lot of life draining cards such as Drana's Emissary and Kalastria Healer I am also using Talus Paladin for more life gain in addition to Ondu Cleric I think you should add Test of Endurance

I like all of those suggestions. Maybe replace Hero of Goma Fada with the Kabira Evangel & swap out Lantern Scout for Talus Paladin. I am hoping it could be fast enough to not need removal although i do like the idea of draw with Cast Out just not sure what i could take out. Thanks for your input

I've seen Kabira Evangel and Talus Paladin do well. Maybe run Cast Out for some removal or draw.
