White Weeney - adding a little money

Hello, All!
A while ago I posted here a question about how to build a White Weenie
equipped deck. Well, I decided to go forward and trade/buy a few rares
and uncommons for this deck. So, in addition to all common stuff I got:
4xAuriok Steelshaper (I'm not sold on Leonin Shikari just yet; besides,
it would require Lightning Greaves as well and they are more expensive
than some of the rares)
2xGlorious Anthem (I'll look for more - the guy I traded with had only
two; although with Steelshaper it might be redundant)
4xTest of Faith
I also decided to eliminate 3-drop creatures completely.

Below is my preliminary build which I'm thinking of taking to an FNM
some day. Any thoughts?Should I add more equipment? 2xLoxodon Warhammer
(I have them)? 2xSword of Fire and Ice (don't have them yet)?

Mana base:
=========
17xPlains
3xSecluded Steppes

Creatures:
========
4xDeftblade Elite
4xSuntail Hawk
4xAuriok Glaivemaster

4xLeonin Skyhunter
4xAuriok Steelshaper
4xRaise the Alarm (I think it makes sense with the Steelshaper)

Equipment:
========
(4xSkullclamp - before banning)
4xMemory Mask (poor man's Clamp)
4xBonesplitter

Spells:
=====
4xPacifism (faster than Arrest, isn't it?)
4xTest of Faith
2xGlorious Anthem

Sideboard:
2xPurge (will get 2 more for a total of 4)
4xLeonin Elder
3xAltar's Light (disgustingly expensive, mana-wise)
3xScrabbling Claws
(anything else? Maybe Sacred Ground (don't have it yet) instead of
Elders?)


Regards,
Arkady.

Yes on the Hammer. The Trample works well with the Mask of Memory, and
lifegain is always a winner too. Although you don't have them in here,
a Hammer/Fireshrieker combo can pump life FAST.

I haven't played with swords enough to have an opinion.

I am still of the opinion that Daru Warchief fits in this deck, but
I'm no expert. The first one to play is a touch mana-heavy, but
reducing the cost on all subsequent soldiers might make it worthwhile.

Is non-artifact land destruction a big part of the metagame in your
area?
