I wanted to make a samurai deck. I don't have too much experience with making good, strong EDH decks so I just threw together good cards and a bunch of creatures. It actually works well until the boardwipes start hitting. At this point, I'm looking for suggestions as to how to make this deck better.
The goal of this deck is to cast a bunch of samurai/humans, pump them up and start swinging REALLY hard. I have Emeria in there for some recur when things die.
The way to take advantage of Kentaro's ability in a mono-white deck is to find ways to reduce the cost to cast your spells. Since you're paying a colorless cost for your Samurai spells, cards like Pearl Medallion and Urza's Incubator can potentially reduce that cost to :0mana:. The same goes for taking advantage of sources of colorless mana production like Thran Dynamo or Ancient Tomb; when casting Samurai, they're effectively producing white mana instead, and far more efficiently than colored mana sources.

Thank you for your time.

After testing it, I'm having issues with getting enough creatures on the board--I'm not drawing enough.
