I need help with my MTG Deck?

Question

So, I am a complete newb to MTG, so I don't really expect this deck to be all to good. Please comment and tell me what I should take out or keep in.

Creature Spells

4 Kithkin Harbinger

4 Kithkin Zephyrnaut

4 Wizened Cenn

4 Ballyrush Banneret

4 Goldmeadow Stalwart(I was thinking of taking this guy out for 4 Knight of Meadowgrain, please give an opinion on that move)

Noncreature Spells

4 Surge of Thoughtweft

4 Neck Snap

4 Ring of Oblivion

4 Mana Tithe

4 Rebuff the Wicked

Land

20 Plains

So Please, If you are good at deck building then tell me how I can improve this deck.

Answer 1

Hmmm, your creature base isn't too bad but you might want to add 4 more one-drop creatures such as Mosquito Guard.  Definitely find room for 4 Knight of Meadowgrain too.  Kithkin Harbinger isn't really necessary, but at the same time can fetch your kithkin based non-creature spells if needed.  Remove 2 of them.  As for your noncreature spells, take out the 4 Surge of Thoughweft, Neck Snap, Mana Tithe, and Rebuff the Wicked.  In place of Surge of Thoughtweft, you can run 4 Wojek Siren which does the same thing for one less mana or Glorious Anthem which permanently boosts all your creatures.  Shared Triumph is another good choice  since this is a tribal deck.  Mana Tithe and Rebuff the Wicked are nice but not necessary.  In place of them you could run more elimination spells or creatures.  Speaking of elimination spells, Neck Snap just doesn't work with how much it costs.  Go with Condemn, Crib Swap (which can be fetched with a harbinger) or, if you can get your hands on them, the best white elimination spell ever made, Swords to Plowshares.  Finally, your land count is good but you could probably replace 4 of your Plains with 4 Flagstones of Trokair.  Hope these tips helped and if you feel that you need more feedback, check out www.essentialmagic.com.  I have been a member of it for a while and it has definitely helped me improve my decks.

Answer 2

Yay Kithkin!

Haha.

It seems like an okay deck.

Those Knight of Meadowgrain are beastly and the lifelink can really help you out.

Answer 3

It's not bad for a first attempt. I would change the following:

Creatures

-4 Kithkin Harbinger (it's really not aggressive enough for the deck)

-4 Ballyrush Banneret (most of the spells you're dealing with don't have colorless mana requirements)

+4 Cenn's Tactician (another 1 drop for your deck, and it makes your guys survive combat)

+4 Knight of Meadowgrain (absolutely necessary)

+4 Kinsbale Borderguard (a decent sized creature, and provides guys after a wrath)

Spells

-4 Surge of Thoughtweft (It's a win more card... if you find this useful, you're already winning)

-4 Neck Snap (4 mana is waaaay to much to pay for removal)

-4 Rebuff the Wicked (You don't want reactive spells)

+4 Militia's Pride (This enchantment allows you to leave creatures in your hand so you can come back from mass removal)

+4 Sunlance (A very efficient white removal spell)

As for your land, I recommend running 16 Plains and 4 Rustic Clachan.
