I'd be shocked if a thread like this didn't exist at one point but I can't think of the right mixture of words to search for to bring it up and wanted to get some thoughts on a deck and maybe provide an outlet for other people that want to post similar things.
I just made this deck and had a hard time cutting down to 35 cards with Advantageous Proclamation. I suffer from loving all the cards in my cube nearly equally and wanting to play everything.
I had 40 with Knight of Meadowgrain, Stormfront Pegasus, and another planes but should have tossed Council's Judgement in there somewhere. Assuming you had to cut two more cards (one spell and a plains?) what would you cut from that list? I'm not sure if six one drops are too many at 35 or if that is good. If I had to cut one, I don't know how to weigh the investment creatures like figure and student against the two power one drop vanilla beaters. Probably a split between the two?
Is there a place on these forums for discussing how cards compare but not for inclusion or exclusion? All of these white one drops are secure in their spots in the cube but how do they stack up when making a deck?
It looks like a fine aggro deck, it has everything to be a winner.
EDIT - as you can see, I don't think 6 1-drops is too many even for a 35 card deck. If you're interested, I'd rank them like this in this deck:
1 Figure of Destiny
2 Student of Warfare
3 Isamaru, Hound of Konda, Soldier of the Pantheon (which is better depends on the match-up)
5 Elite Vanguard, Savannah Lions

I wouldn't be comfortable running any swamps in this deck. Lacking any other fixers besides Undiscovered Paradise I'd choose not to run Vindicate - since you also have Council's Judgment (as well as Pithing Needle and Unexpectedly Absent), it isn't even a very large sacrifice to make.
