I'm looking for a new deck to play in Standard. I usually don't go mon W but I think the current resources we have for it makes it viable. What I mean by semi exalted is that I have Exalted creatures in here but it's not the primary foucus of the deck. Lands 2 x 3  15 x Plains  4 x Cavern of Souls  4 x Cathedral of War  Creatures 2 x 9  4 x War Falcon  3 x Doomed Traveler  4 x Elite Inquisitor  4 x Aven Squire  3 x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben  3 x Silverblade Paladin  3 x Mirran Crusader  3 x Hero of Bladehold  2 x Sublime Archangel  Non Creatures 8 4 x Honor of the Pure  2 x Oblivion Ring  1 x Ajani, Calle rof the Pride  1 x Angelic Destiny  Deck's goal should be obvious. Play my cheap yet effecient cratures and attack with them. I know that there are some people who don't use Elite Inquisitor in their WW aggro deck but I think he is very relavant now. He has protection from Zombies which just so happens to be a deck right now. The other big aggro deck right now is G/R. He has first strike and has 2 power so he can always win against strangleroot geist with or without a +1/+1 counter. He has protection from werewolves which is the card type of one of their win cons. And on top of all of this he has vigilance so I can usally attack with him against other aggro decks w/o worrying about not having blockers. I am having problems choosing between running 3 Bladeholds and 2 Sublimes vs. 3 Sublimes and 2 Bladeholds. Both have their pros and cons.

The problem is that they'll just block your exalted guy. Use stave off  to keep them from blocking it or angelic benediction  to tap down their blocker.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

Since you aren't focusing on Exalted, I would use Champion of the Parish  instead of War Falcon. You are running lots of Humans, so he is sure to get buffed. I also think Knight of Glory  is a better 2-drop than Aven Squire . Sure Squire has flying, but Glory has Pro-Black, which is more relevant.
