I can't read the cards you reference without it...

Well, ok, I CAN read the cards, but it involves opening Gatherer, looking your card up by name, hoping it's spelled right, and...

I'm just too lazy to do it, alright?
Please Autocard.

As has already been stated, I think White/Black Exalted is the way to go here. Though in my case it seems to be Black-splash-White rather than an even split. Not quite sure how good that Veilborn Ghoul will actually end up being, but I figured it was worth a look. Same goes for the Crusader of Odric. That's the thing about Exalted, creature cards without any abilities are only useful as long as they're the biggest thing you've got. If you've got something bigger, it becomes useful only as a blocker.

Round 1: Murder Arbor Elf Spiked Baloth Sign in Blood Vastwood Gorger Titanic Growth Spiked Baloth Arbor Elf Elvish Visionary Disentomb Yeva's Forcemage Naturalize Battle of Wits Bountiful Harvest Island Round 2: Knight of Infamy Mwonvuli Beast Tracker Deadly Recluse Roaring Primadox Duskdale Wurm Fungal Sprouting Ring of Kalonia Spiked Baloth Tormented Soul Yeva's Forcemage Guardian Lions Bloodthrone Vampire Bond Beetle Serpent's Gift Forest Round 3: Cathedral of War Sentinel Spider Garruk's Packleader Elvish Visionary Deadly Recluse Farseek Titanic Growth Ranger's Path Ring of Kalonia Arbor Elf Goblin Arsonist Ground Seal Smelt Hydrosurge Island

I went G/B with a lot of cute interactions. Garruk's Packleader works well with a lot of my creatures. A roaring primodax with packleader is bonkers, but works just as well with bond beetle or mwonvuli beast tracker. Three arbor elves should get my mana up quickly. Oh, I forgot elvish visionary works wonders too with roaring primodax. Not a lot of removal , do got murder pack 1 and two titanic growths to make combat math tricky. Definitely have to work out the creature ratio though and probably go full gas with this one.
