That's Nyx-Fleece Ram actually, sorry about any confusion. It's basically an Ajani's Mantra but with a body ;P. Good luck with your deck and have lots and lots of fun

Steampunked

The aim of this deck is to deal big damage to opponent as fast as possible. There are a number of simple combinations that can be put together with the cards here; however, this deck was created with the following and more substantial combo in mind -

Combo:
1. Play Chief Engineer and more creatures
2. Convoke Scuttling Doom Engine
3. Cast Curse of the Swine, rendering opponents creatures impotent
4. Attack opponent with unblockable Scuttling Doom Engine
5. Sacrifice Scuttling Doom Engine to play Shrapnel Blast
*** Done right, this combo should deal a total of 17 points damage (6 points combat damage + 6 damage when Scuttling Doom Engine dies + 5 damage from Shrapnel Blast) to opponent lickity split. A few more points of damage dealt via creatures like Triton Shorestalker and you've got your win ;P.

I've tested this deck vs. other Standard format decks and it seems to play okay, but not perfect, not flawless and fluid as it may be. I am accepting comments and suggestions to make deck perform better. I will also accept suggestions for what cards to include in sideboard. I hope to make this deck competitive even in the harshest tournament environment. Thanks.

Check out Ajani's Pridemate, Nyxfleece Ram, Sunbond, and Wall of Limbs. The last one if you'd consider adding a splash of black to your deck. Orzhov vs. Mono-White? Take a look at my deck on here too, if you want. Blessed Damnation. It works pretty well for me ;P.
