Hey guys, been a while.
I'm expremely interested in trying out these two. They're both legendary so they can be protected with Karakas, and they're tutorable with Sisay if you run her. Shalai in particular is a huge addition to the deck, giving hexproof against most removal and discard in the format. Even if her activated ability is wasted she's still a huge bomb.
They're also both 3W so they don't require a big colored mana investment.

Here's what I wrote when I moved to the 4x Crusader build originally:
"I decided that I wanted to win the Czech Pile matchup via virtual card advantage (i.e. not by out-grinding, but by invalidating opposing resources, effectively putting myself ahead). 4 copies of Crusader and 2 Recruiters to find them meant that I would very consistently be able to stick a very difficult to remove threat that didn’t get bogged down by Baleful Strix and other small chump blockers. While my opponent would likely have a couple of answers in the 75, I had a long-term gameplan. Previously, I had used SoLaS to push through Strix as well as recoup card advantage, but that was no longer needed."
Palace Jailer has some issues in the current metagame. The big one is that there are a ton of disposable bodies floating around (e.g. Baleful Strix, Snapcaster) as well as creatures that make taking the crown back easy (e.g. TNN and Young Pyromancer). If I had a 76th card in my list, it'd probably be Jailer. He's always in my consideration pile. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Cuts
Manabase
Plains
Dakmor salvage
Arid Mesa
Sacred foundry
1 Blood crypt
1 ghost quarter - being 4 color, colorless lands hurt you that much more.
Adds
Manabase
2 Temple garden
2 fire-lit thicket/rugged prairie - you likely want something that filters RR while being able to add green or white. Makes fetching easier for the colors you need. I lean more towards RR producing lands because assult is RRR
2 raging ravine
I also personally would like to see ajani Vengeant over liliana if you want to go jund+w.
Cuts
Spells
1 flame jab
1 raven's crime
1 Molten vortex
2 Abrupt Decay
Adds
Spells
2 ajani vengeant
3 Lightning helix
It seems like you really want to be more Naya black, I suggest trying these changes. The helix and ajani can offset lifeloss a bit and having a slightly stronger white focus gives you rest for the weary instead of feed the clan out of the board. You'll find landfall much easier to accomplish than ferocious.
