Say I wanted to try and play WW in modern.
Here's a list that I slapped together quickly:
[deck]4 Precinct Captain
4 Azorius Arrester
4 Silverblade Paladin
4 Elite Vanguard
3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Hero of Bladehold
4 Student of Warfare
4 Figure of Destiny
4 Honor of the pure
4 Path to Exile
20 Plains
1 Emeria, the Sky Ruin
//SB
1 Oblivion Ring
1 Jotun Grunt
1 Mana Tithe
1 Rest In Peace
1 Ethersworn Cannonist
1 Celestial Purge
1 Kor Firewalker
1 Kataki, War's Wage[/deck]
The Arrester is probably one of the weak links in this list, but I really like the detain effect and it makes for a decent top-deck.
The sideboard just lists some options that could prove useful against some of the popular match-ups.
Are there any auto-includes I am missing here? Is this archetype just terrible in general (maybe more cards in Gatecrash)?

Mirran Crusader is, imo, a staple given how good Jund is. It lets you push 4 damage a turn and aside from bolt, it can't be hit by their removal.
Spectral Procession is also an auto 4 of. you're not playing an non-white lands, so it will always cost 3 mana for 3 flyers. The white hideaway land is also the truth if you're playing SP.
Arrester is cute, but I'm not sure how good it really is.

21 lands might be a bit too low.

Yeah that makes sense, I think I'd rather drop one of the Silverblade Paladins.
-1 Paladin, +1 Plains
