I like Nature's Claim. I didn't know about Mayael's Aria.
I wouldn't use Hunter's Claim simply because of how much mana it costs.
I want to run red or splash it just for Mayael's Aria. Its a great win condition. Can you link me to your deck? I am thinking about putting in Utopia Sprawl, Wild Cantor,, Karplusan Forest, etc.
Thank a lot for all your help people! I've been out of magic for a while, for some reason I thought Honor the Pure was a Crusade. I didn't read enough to know that shadow can't block other creatures without shadow, I thought it was like horsemanship. Meekstone and Serra's Blessing are gone, Honor the Pure is useless as well since I'm just trying to hit with shadow. I liked the Weathered Wayfarer because he draws, might he be that useless? I could just use something else.
I added Flickering Ward, I might remove two for Oust. How does it look now?
Then you want Field Marshal and Benalish Commander. I agree with Binary, you want a simple deck. If you are running only 1x and 2x then you probably are making it more for fun and inconsistency than winning?
The helm is optional, but you have a lot of generic mana cards.
Remove Propaganda and Mana Short, Use Silence instead and Vision Charm
Enchantments can be dealt with by using Aura of Silence.
Mana fixing could be done with Celestial Dawn. Now you can splash your red without disrupting your mana.
This will allow you to use Solitary confinement if you add a Weathered Wayfarer. Land Tax would help in this instance too. Tormod's Crypt would be useful for graveyard decks. Stasis is not a fun card, but it works very well. Mana Leak is better than counterspell just because you have white. Force Spike should be considered too. Magus of the moat can protect you as well...
Do you suggest holy day or something to stop damage? Words of Worship is only one card, I should probably add more. I was hoping that a Serra's Blessing with the Meekstone would be enough to stop attacks, I was going to put in Soltari Champion, but I was like no its way more expensive than the other ones. At first I didn't even want to put in Serra's Blessing, but then I saw honor the pure got a lot cheaper.
The only reason I didn't want to get ghostly prison was because it was more expensive than the rest of the cards. It is better. I will consider putting it in.
I was thinking its just a 1 drop creature with shadow so I kinda overlooked it. Soul Sculptor is pretty useless, you're right. I pretty much control the board, so I'll remove that and put in the foot soldier. I don't know if I want words of worship, unless I'm running test of endurance or something, as I don't think I will be attacked, I might put in a true believer if I face burn, or just the words as red can't hurt enchantments...
Crap, I don't think I can use the Order. They untap, and I have no way of tapping them!
Do you like more Elite Vanguards, and Honor the Pure? I think you want Silence here too. Take a look at my build, you might want to have some of those cards, Serra's Blessing is a very good cheap card.
All the weenies are Soltari, so they are pretty much unblockable. I get a Soltari and pump it as fast as possible there are a few combos: Serra's Blessing/Meekstone . This allows me to attack and not tap, while they are forced to tap. Then I can play Honor the Pure without any problems. Mask of Memory will allow me to draw cheaply.
I like the way you think! I like the idea of Pack Hunt, but I think its too expensive, I could add in wall of roots to make it work though. The False Cure idea is good as well, but I'd have to get shock or dual lands, or replace the elves with BoP and hope that I get them...
I was thinking of adding Manaplasm once its a 60 card deck. I don't see any reason not to run more Keen Sense besides the Reverent Silence...
I am getting back into magic, and I'd like to build decks that are very cheap, essentially 10-20 dollars each, but still impressive enough to wow players. I'd like to have cheap decks since most people run casual and there are people who steal, so if anything gets stolen, I wouldn't be too upset. Any suggestions? 40 card decks are fine, I already have a lot of lands and I prefer faster games.

This is so far my favorite creature, it gets huge in mutiplayer, and you can kill in a few turns, as KP can turn way bigger than they can handle.
