Deck Preview: Puresteel Paladin

With decks like Caw-Go, Mono-White Quest, and Vengevine just a few weeks from rotating out of standard, a number of decks will need to fill the void.  One mentioned by channelfireball.com is a little Puresteel Paladin brew.  You can view the decklist here, along with a few sample games.  As mentioned, the deck has some real consistency issues.  Another list on StarCity Games had a different take.  View it here.  The deck has an interesting inclusion I really like: the 1-of Glint Hawk.  The card allows you to reuse your Mortarpods without sacrificing another creature.  It also draws a card off of Puresteel Paladin if you bounce an equipment with it and re-play it.  To replace the Squadron Hawks in the channelfireball version, this deck has another few interesting features: 2 Kor Firewalkers and an extra Etched Champion.  With a little tuning, the deck should have some serious game.
