I think I have the MOST realistic one....
1 Stalwart 2 Kinsbaile Skirmisher 17 life 3 Field Marshal 11 Life 4 Celestial Crusader 0 Life
That requires 8 cards out of 11

That requires 8 cards out of 11 1 Mirror Entity, 1, Cenn, 1 Stalwart, 4 plains = 7 cards/11.
I hate to see the deck that your one comes from :P. Kithkin subtheme, lords at 3 and 4 mana... Still, I spose it might work.

There's already a thread located in the DtB that caters to this archetype. Please post there and help keep the boards free of unnecessary clutter. Here's a link: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=947583While the thread title might be misleading, this is where the discussion on the Kithkin Archetype is currently taking place. Thanks!

Sure, the synergy between the two tribes and mirror entity is enormous, but it seems that your deck is too reliant on mirror entity for the kill. There are better WW creatures around, such as Soltari Priest, Serra Avenger, and even Paladin En-vec.
Doesn't your deck encounter any problem if it doesn't draws a mirror entity or ajani goldmane? Not really. It still functions much the same as any other WW deck. And it has Calciderm.
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

And it has Calciderm.

Anyone else think Calciderm is underrated? Its about as resilient as Troll except it dies off, and your opponent's only option is to take 15 or lose some doods when he sticks. It doesn't see nearly enough play in my books.

Calciderm is one of my favorite white cards. 5/5 4 drop with shroud? Oh yeah. Get's em every time.

:missing blastoderm reference here:
Anyway, I'll keep Calciderms in the side, simply because I think game-one Trio is the better call. If I'm playing like.. Faeries or G/B/W, first strike and vigilance are pretty handy. However, if you're playing vs. heavy removal, I think he wins out. Then again, if your strategy is white fat, it's pretty obvious that this guy deserves a spot.

Especially with Shriekmaw defining the format.

Not really. It still functions much the same as any other WW deck. And it has Calciderm. No doubt Calciderm is an excellent card, but you are playing only 2 pieces. How high are the chances of you drawing it?
In addition, you already have Ajani Goldmane in the 4 mana slot. Would you choose Calciderm over the planeswalker? I doubt so cos i will like Ajani out ASAP. Plus, how many games do you have 4 mana by your 4th turn? Most white weenies don't run 24 lands, so the probability of hitting the 4th land drop is consequently lower.
So most likely i will keep it in SB.

I would keep it in SB as well. I was just showing some Calciderm love.  I have it in my SB.
