The concept is quite simple: Animate one Long Sword, bless it as often as possible and endow it to get Crusaders with large blessed long swords - sundials are to stall, Miracles are backup and Solar Bucklers to produce extra Light Quanta - off course all these cards may also be exchanged.

It's a first try, the balancing surely can be improved - or with a  mark combined with explosions or with a  mark combined with cloak for an extra surprise in PVP.

An example of the deck working against AI5:

[Tuntor]

Wild, I was just starting a version of this, but you've done a lot of the leg work already. NEAT! How's this playing against FGs?

[LongDono]

Wow this is kindof awesome!
LONGSWORD FTW!

[FloppyD]

I've been playing with (what I feel) is an improved variation.  I cut the sundials, miracles and longswords, added 4 vamp daggers and another animate, and switched to dark for the mark.  You're doing the same damage, but those 15-20 attack crusaders are now vampires.

I was a bit skeptical about the play idea until I saw the picture! Awesome deck!

The variation with vamp daggers is of course a lot better thanks to the healing - but not everyone has those.

And I have to admit I like the idea of Crusaders with blessed long swords - it's a deck theme that simply fits.

@Tuntor: I don't believe it works against FGs, but I haven't tried.

i really want to use this and it looks really cool but is there any way it can be played unupgraded (perhaps without the sundials)?

[TheIdioticIdiot]

I am trying to come up with an unupped version (for the tourney), however, it just doesn't work at all...

[Baily18]

Yeah.... unupped crusader endowed with short sword is 5/6 for 8 light quantum..... pretty bad.
