Ok so I have been sort of hurting for a casual EDH deck for a while now. I built a Jaya Ballard, Task Mage deck a while back to try to fit that role but I just ended up hating the deck lol. I guess it was in part the competative part of me that was pissed off because I was trying to use some of the better cards at my disposal to build her and it just couldnt stand up to much of anything.
I ended up paying some good money for a foil Jareth, Leonine Titan a while back and want to really create a pimp and somewhat flavorful deck based arround him. It is really tough to pick a good theme for him, I had originally thought of a few things such as Cats, Gladiators, Arena based, Artist based and what not. Finally I read his flavor box which states "Light's champion in the stronghold of darkness."
And then it hit me, what better for a theme deck than a mono white deck that is all about white's light and championing over darkness. So the idea behind this deck is for the most part all about purity, light, and championing over its enemies. Hopefully I can have a bit of fun building arround this as my last deck just sort of fell apart. I dont have unlimited resources for this deck but luckily I have a sword of light and shadow which I feel totally fits the theme of the struggle of light vs shadow. I would love suggestions for this deck as it will be tough to come up with all of them myself. Keep in mind I am trying to build this as a theme deck and not trying to build it to 100% power.
I still dont want the deck to totally suck ass though so I dont entirely know where I will draw the line but we will see where it goes.
Well I got the ball rolling. Let me know if you have some ideas for it. I would love to get some more ideas for the deck yet. It feels like a lot of the creatures are sort of ☺☺☺☺ty and small which I think needs to be addressed if possible but I want to keep it within the theme.
Ok a few things I had been wondering about:
- Should I run the Kaldra Equipment? I dont really plan on running the equipment tutors but do the individual pieces of Kaldra fit the deck theme??? I would love a random ass game where I actually assemble the full set. It would be ridiculously fun.

- How appropriate are Sword of Vengeance and Akroma's Memorial? I like it as a bit of an akroma subtheme. I could always tag in an Akroma's Vengeance for good measure as well I suppose.
- Linvala, Keeper of Silence... I just dont feel she quite fits the theme. I think she might end up getting cut.
- Eternal Dragon, anyone feel one way or another on him???? I sort of feel he is a bit of a stretch and doesnt quite fit the theme personally.
