looks pretty good already, theres just a few things i would do.
1. drop the soul sisters. I know you want the life gain, and you can get it with knight of meadowgrain. the knight is a much bigger presence on the board and can gain you just as much life as the sisters would. It also gets pretty scary with a equipment on it, which brigs me to my next point.
2. I think there are better equipment the the dagger. loxodon warhammer costs more but is way more powerful with the added trample and lifelink. If you can afford the expensive equipment like umezawa's jitte or sword of ____ and ____.
Thanks for the advice!
I did some playtesting and discovered that you were right about the Soul's Attendant life gain ability. She worked great in the mirror or against other types of swarm decks (mainly krenko goblin decks) but she was almost a dead card that simply pumped Champion of the Parish. I've decided that replacing her on the sideboard is the better idea. I also realized that Grand Abolisher and Imposing Sovereign were really matchup based as well. They didn't allow me to attack or win combat as aggressively as I wanted and were only great if I was playing a haste deck or a control deck. I've decided to try putting Hada Freeblade to replace the Soul's Attendant and Kazandu Blademaster to place the Grand Abolisher and Imposing Sovereign in the sideboard to replace my Gather the Townsfolk.
I also decided to replace the Brave the Elements with the sideboarded Path to Exile because I felt like it came in handy more often. It also helped me on pretty unfortunate mulligans where I had to exile my own 1 drop to get my second land or exile my Precinct Captain token to ramp up to the three I needed for some of my better cards.
On the equipment end, I do agree that the Silver-Inlaid Dagger is not the best of equipment, but it is incredibly well costed. Being able to give one of my first strike creatures +3/+0 on turn three to swing for 5 is incredibly helpful, and more likely to happen if I get screwed on mana. The Loxodon Warhammer would almost always take two turns just to play and then equip.
Hey guys. I'm new to the forums and just wanted to post a white weenie deck that I've been building. I was hoping to have fixes in the deck for any type of deck and then be able to sideboard in game 2 for when I know what type of matchup I have.
The 2 offs in my deck (Imposing Sovereign, Mentor of the Meek, and Grand Abolisher) are really just because I would hate to ever have two of them on the field at the same time. It may be good to be able to replace them once they get the inevitable removal spell, but I feel like only running two of them makes the deck more consistent of not having dead cards in my hand.
The Silver-Inlaid Dagger is in there only because of the Precinct Captain. A 5/2 first strike is a much harder decision for the opponent to make on whether he wants to block it and potentially lose a 4 drop, or take the damage and give me another soldier token.
Day of Judgement is only there because I love its' synergy with Frontline Medic. Actually, Mentor of the Meek is there due to Frontline Medic and Hero of Bladehold as well. The Medic potentially makes it much easier to swing with both Hero and Mentor and still pay the two for extra card draw.
Finally, the life gain through the soul sisters (4 in main deck and 4 in sideboard) is merely a concession that though a white weenie deck, I may lose out to the more aggressive decks that hit way harder and faster than this will. If i fight a burn deck, I hopefully gain life beyond their ability to kill me quickly and if I fight another weenie deck, their creatures are simply giving me more life as well. They also give me more viable creatures to draw from with Mentor of the Meek.
Path to Exile in the sideboard is in case I ever need more removal, or if the 21 lands proves to be inconsistent and I can simply exile my own soldier tokens for a ramped land.
Finally, Thalia sideboard is simply for control decks. I can bring her in to replace Day of Judgement.
Please give me any tips or any suggestions. Definitely want to know what you all think.
