So had an idea and decided to work a deck for standard. I will have no way of actually taking it to tournement or making and testing it due to my current status, deployed. Just wanted to share the idea. If you like let me know.

4 mirran crusader

4 phyrexian crusader

4 signal pest

3 stoneforge mystic

3 wall of omens

3 go for the throat

4 horrifying revalation

4 inquisition of kozilek

4 sign in blood

2 journey to nowhere

1 basilisk collar

1 sword of body and mind

1 sword of feast and famine

4 inkmoth nexus

4 marsh flats

6 plains

8 swamp

not feeling the signal pest in there,, the +1 isn't great since it can't give it to itself and take advantage of its evasion.  Frankly I think the pest is only good in a battlecry based deck.

As for a replacement for it... Squadron hawk is always a solid choice- it has the same evasion as the pest, plus if you start with 1 in your opening hand you are guarnteed a creature drop turns 2-6 which is always good.  However, for your deck I am thinking more along the lines of knight exemplar give both your knights a pump while making them indestrituable. 

I'm also not liking balisk collar.  I understand its point, but lets face it your going for the swords first.  i would lose this to add another journey to nowhere (especially if you go the exempler route) or an additional go for the throat

As for playing it there is always online options like mws or cockatrace-there are some people here that play on one of those that I'm sure will be willing to let you test your deck on.  I play on both of those and I know I'm always willing to have a go if the time availiable matches up.  let me know

Thanks, but unfortunately I have access to the internet with no ability to download things onto a comp. I do not have access to the internet on my personal computer due to the area I am at. Im deployed in Afghanistan right now and just scrachting deck ideas on paper and watching the decks that are being played in tournements.

To add to the greatness of pains, by the time I get back the Mirrodin cycle will be over and the new set will probally just start coming out. It sux.

I believe that tappedout.net has a new in-browser playtester that does not require a download. Also, you can make an account there and post your decks for other people to comment. Many of the users give good, constructive criticism, and there would be many decks to take examples from. The site also has a free draft simulator, so if you want to practice drafting, you can do that.

Hungry is right. tappedout.net has a new playtester, draft facilities, and deckbuilder.

I have only been using it for a short while, but would recommend it.

Yeah,  but the whole playing on line thing kinda sucks, it has four tables that are full during peak hours (unless your premium) and most people who play are spainish.
