    I think the Pulse Trackers are an odd choice. I see why they seem good in the absract, but I don't think this deck will get aggressive enough to make them worth it. If you're looking for a 2 of black spell to cast on turn 1, I think you'd be better off playing defense and putting in 2 Inquisition of Kozilek's or 2 more Duress.


    I think maindeck Kor Firewalker is a REALLY interesting choice. I could see it paying off like crazy. But I think you'll still want two more in the sideboard.


    3 Sword of Body and Mind seems like a lot. I know getting out multiples isn't bad, but you're probably going to want a Basilik Collar to tutor up every now and again to make one of your Mystics a more intimidating blocker.


    Sun Titan is great because he gets your Swords back.


    Looking at your creature slots, I bet you could borrow a trick from the UB Mystic list and swap -2 Pulse Tracker, -2 Wall of Omens and put in 4 Squadron Hawks. The Hawks are great with a sword since they fly and they are also almost as good a blocker as Wall of Omens. They can chump fliers and they draw you 3 cards compared to Wall of Omens which draws 1. I think they will play better than both of those creatures.


    I think the Crusaders in the sideboard is interesting because with the right combination of Crusaders and Swords, you might be able to blank an entire deck. For example, Mirran Crusader with Sword of Body and Mind more or less ruins my day.


    I think it's an intersting plan. Kill creatures. Play effecient creatures. Suit up a sword. Go to town. Wrath if things get out of control. Drop Gideon to buy you turns of attacking unblocked. Reset with a Titan in the late game.
