I know it's not often you see this guy, espically with the better WW generals such as Kemba, Kha Regent or even Konda, Lord of Eiganjo for that matter, but i'd thought i would try my hand at this particular general of choice since i've been working on it for the past month now and wish to finally present my list, it's rough to say the least but here's the basic list i have at the moment, i know i will defintely have to make changes to said list as well.
Note: This is a casual EDH deck to not be taken very seriously, i built it just for fun.
So i know i need Elspeth Tirel And Elspeth, Knight Errant before anyone mentions those two as obvious walker suggestions, i was trying to turn this into a Knight style deck but i am only using Knight Exemplar as a base attacker since first strike for me is more important then having a lord type effect, Adapative Automaton is also being considered by me as a secondary lord, but i think 1 is enough with all the nice artifact/equipment spells in the deck, also i am aware i need Contagion Engine before anyone suggests that to me but thoughts on this one are welcome.
2/29/2012 - Removed a ton of cards including some stated above added Contagion Engine, Elspeth Tirel, Day of Judgment, Steelshaper's Gift, Caged Sun, Increasing Devotion and Geist-Honored Monk
It would help to seperate you spells into artifact, enchantment, instant, sorcery, and planeswalker sections. Currently it is just hard to really look at and see what you have in there.
You might consider going a bit more in the direction of tokens. Mikaeus is really powerful when looking in the token direction. I know you are looking for casual but still I cant help but think that a token replacement for White Knight would be good.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Yeah, as i said it's a pretty rough list, so i'll edit them accordingly since i know what is what, also yeah White Knight can kinda get replaced in this list, i was thinking something along the lines of Knight-Captain of Eos to replace it, since it makes tokens and is a body
Edit: Fixed into appropriate categories, also added potential additions/removable cards.
I've been awake for 18 hours, just wrapped up a reply to one of my threads (WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS GIVE ME SO MUCH STUFF TO REPLY TO?!?) and need to wake up in 6 hours to do another 12 hour night shift.
The only thing I noticed on a glance is Command Tower. I don't know if you have anything that works with your planes (Weathered Wayfarer?) but I know you definitely don't have anything going for your non-basic Planes.
And since I replied, now I can find your thread easier later tonight and PUMP IT UP!!!
Speaking of pumping it up, it also (at a glance of your description) looked like you knew there were better things to put in it but wanted to budget the deck a little. Should I look for cost friendly cards or better, avoid costly cards (Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt, Lion's Eye Diamond)?
EDIT
Pumping time!
First off, this is probably the wrong direction to go since the title of the thread has already been selected but if you're looking to run mono white, two generals come to mind (especially for a casual setting). Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant can be a true troll of a general, flipping into a protecting enchantment when cast. He protects your weenies so they can do their job, comes online early and is difficult to remove from the table (there's always a lack of enchantment hate). The second fights all semi-competitive to competitive opponents by ruining 1/5 of their deck (which is usually a large portion of their ramp), Kataki, War's Wage. Maybe liquid Metal Coating combo shenanigans?
INCEPTION EDIT
Well, after close consideration (like, 5 minutes) an affordable route and effective route complimenting your general could be Mono White Tokens.

Yeah as i said this is kind of a rough list and needs a lot of tweaking in say the next 6 months before i take it anywhere to play around my local area, i espically love the idea of a tokens list but i want it to not have too many token generators perhaps maybe Spectral Procession since i've been looking for that card forever, probably going to replace Timely Reinforcements in this list since well it's better and the same CMC overall.
Captain of the Watch was a huge consideration in this list as well with token pumpers like Caged Sun, Eldrazi Monument etc available to play with, btw Caged Sun so going in my deck, busted fun replacing something i don't know yet, anyways thanks for the suggestions man, appreciate it.
The idea of Mikaeus, the Lunarch combined with lightning greaves as a massive pump effect for a weenie/token army sounds attractive. I'm not sure how much the deck is focused around this. Needs Steelshaper's Gift and Stoneforge Mystic for sure though.
Stoneforge Mystic is pretty cheap right now. But I'd only run her if you can get your hands on some bomb equipments (swords, jitti, batterskull... I'm sure there's more).

You'll have access to such cards as
I avoided Even the Odds and Timely Reinforcements because you hope to have more than them.
Please excuse any overlapping cards.
