First, Swords isn't in the Modern card pool.  You need to be using Path to Exile .

Second, there's a lot of junk in there.  Captain of the Watch is very bad because you'll never realistically cast it.  The Armorer and Swordsmith are bad because you need two of them to even make an honor of the Pure.  Militia's Pride is bad because it's too mana intensive.  Brave the Elements is pretty bad just because you're likely to be tapping out to omuch to make it useful and you dont' really need to protect your guys from anything.  Dawn Charm is just bad.  Timely Reinforcements won't likely trigger on either end, making a wasted space.


Here's what I'd add:

4x Cavern of Souls (over some Plains)
4x Path to Exile
2x Honor of the Pure
2x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
1x Odric, Master Tactician
4x Field Marshal (how is this not in the list already?)
4x Doomed Traveler (more early aggression)

Obviously I am not going to hard cast captain of the watch, it will be played either from preeminent captain or wind brisk heights

I might replace sword smith with marshals, but marshals are two [w], not benefiting a great deal from ballyrush 

Armor smith is a 2 mana for a 2/2, I'd consider fairly common line infantry, also only 1[w]

As for your suggestions cavern of the soul is insanely expensive.

 I will replace sword with path of exile

Ill cut brave of elements for 2 more honor of the pure 

I am actually going to cut Thalia entirely, this card actually back fire on me in a game, I'd replace with another odric.

Doom traveller is a harder call, I can see the potential, but if it's a card I don't drawn early, like the first 2 turns, it's use is very limited
