I posted this in another thread and thought I might repost it here looking for suggestions instead of derailing that thread solely for the point of helping my deck. Mods, if this is unacceptable plz delete my other post.
My favorite Casual build is my MWC that I have been toying around with for a couple years. I call her "Alice"
Make room for a couple Oblivion Ring since you're playing Enlightened Tutor.
I'm sorry, I should have posted my sideboard aswell. I haven't needed O-ring main as of yet BUT it is in the board just for annoying "Walkers" an such. Here is my board (which might explain my tutors more?)
Is there room for a Squadron Hawk/Mistveil Plains package in here? It might be slightly more aggressive than you want to be, but the ability to keep recurring the hawks through your own board wipes seems like it could fit nicely (particularly since you're already running the Mystic to fetch up swords, etc., for the hawks to carry). It would probably cut into your Scepter package a little to squeeze this in, though, so if you're not having any real trouble "getting there," it might not be worth it.
Thats a fairly solid list already. My only little nit-pick is the ancient tombs. the mana acceleration is much more useful in a combo or aggro deck then a slow control deck. the 2 damage will build up fast if you keep using it. Emeria, the sky-ruin could have a spot there instead, as it can bring back a lot of the stuff that gets killed either by your opponent or your own wraths. Flagstones of Trokair is also solid and could work in here as well.
Renewed faith is fairly meh. A neat trick I love to run is Harm's way, which can not only kill things but save you the same amount of life if you cycle the faith. And Harm's way also has the added bonus of being able to go on isochron scepter.
It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

I would really hate to remove some of the scepter/chant package, its kinda why I made her in the first place. Plus I like the fact that my creature count is low.
I'm actually thinkin of dropping the crusaders for some Lingering Souls but that would mean Scrublands an those are too much $ right about now.

Mana acceleration is good in any deck, haha ;-). I have found it extremly usefull droppin out Skulls, Elsepth and Scepters way early. With the Skulls an Faiths the lifeloss is worth tappin the Tombs.
Emeria comes in tapped an I dont care for that. But I will get some Flagstones! Completely forgot about them...thanx!!
