Needs more Quest

So TooSarcastic suggested more Quest for the Holy Relic. This is what I came up with.

3 Hero of Bladehold
4 Accorder Paladin
4 Memnite
4 Wall of Omens
4 Kor Skyfisher
4 Glint Hawk
4 Puncturing Light
4 Arrest
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Strider Harness
1 Argentum Armor
3 Quest for the Holy Relic
19 Plains
4 Terramorphic Expanse

Thoughts?

Wall of Omens is good, and I see what you're doing with it, but I think it wants to be Ornithopter.

What I think higherbrow meant to say is that Wall of Omens cannot participate in the attack step and is therefore not coming along on our quest.

I have a War Zone if you want it. And yes, I was trying to point out that the word Defender does not belong in this deck.

Can't afford Stoneforge Mystics. Happy to accept loaned War Zones. Could use Squadron Hawks as I wasn't playing during M11. At this event, Wall of Omens eats 2-4 infect creature attacks and replaces itself. In a vacuum, Ornithopter is better for the deck. Nonetheless, I think Wall might be correct.

What about

3 Hero of Bladehold
4 Accorder Paladin
4 Memnite
4 Signal Pest
4 Glint Hawk
4 Kor Skyfisher
4 Contested War Zone
4 Wall of Omens
1 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Argentum Armor
3 Quest for the Holy Relic

2-4 Contested War Zone + Plains

???

Mystics are pretty cruicial, can you not borrow them from somebody? Bonehoard should also be in here as a 1-of (especially with mystic)

What I don't quite understand is how you lose to infect guys? You should be clocking for more a turn than they can afford to take (90% of your deck costs 0,1,2) poison creatures start at 2 mana. I would not dilute the deck for 1 archetype, and if that really is a problem Mirran crusader >>>>>Wall of Omens

Well, I don't know for sure, but it's pretty likely I can't borrow 4 of the hottest non-planeswalker card in Standard, no. I like Mirran Crusader, but I'm really not willing to spend a ton of money on this deck. I can get $25 in trade from SCG for my foil Blightsteel Colossus, and maybe ship some other cards too. That gets me part of the way there I suppose. Oh, I do have that foil Grave Titan too... Ok maybe I can power this. Honestly, I was hoping to change the list a little from the pro tour. OH! Bonehoard is Phyrexian. Boo hiss.
