What white cards should be in there that I'm not running? Nothing seems obvious. Thalia's Lancers, Isamaru, and Reveillark seem ok, but I'm not interested in them.
You're not running Gideon, and that card is absurd. At 450, I'm currently running 4 white 5-drop creatures - which I feel might be one too many. Mostly I run four since I'm still testing Thalia's Lancers. At 360, I would probably only run 3 + Gideon.
Which Gideon are you referring to? I run Ally of Zendikar.
There's Jace, there's Elspeth Knight-Errant, there's Gideon, then there's all the other planeswalkers over there eating chips run Gideon.
I don't think you are wrong for running both, I just much prefer diversifying those slots with a Gisela, Reveillark & Baneslayer. They don't fill the exact same role though.
Never considered Thalia's Lancers, but I'd have to cut Avacyn for that. Not keen on that.
Also run Isamaru! It's better than every 2/1 for 1 with cute effects imo, besides Kytheon

Isamaru is obviously good, but I don't run it because it's not a Human. I don't think it's a strict upgrade over any of the other 1 drops (I'll be cutting Soldier of the Pantheon for Dauntless Bodyguard).
Being a 2/2 is pretty big game, there are a lot of 1/Xs that muck up the board. In practice it's at worse irrelevant which is frankly a good place to be, because anything above the floor is a vast improvement.
Opened Lyra Dawnbringer in a draft last night, just as nutty as I was expecting if a bit unexciting for just being a beater. I think Karmic Guide is getting the boot once I make the update.

This is still the best place for high-power-level cube chat & debate.
