Standard White Weenie Deck Help

[troy2421]

Hey guys my name is Joe and I'm kinda a newb to mtg since I've only been playing for about a month or so now and got some advice at the shop to play a white weenie deck and just had some questions. For one thing, should I go all white in the deck or split it with green, because for some reason I feel white wouldn't do so good on its own but I'm willing to try what will work. I just want a deck that I can get cards out on turn one and be set up before my oppenents like white weenie's are supposed to work. So if you guys could tell me some cards I should get it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Joe its Aaren. Ive been playing magic for about 2-3 years and am not what you would call a good magic player, but im decent enough where I could give you a hand, whether its with cards to borrow or trade for, or even just to play test with I'm here at ramapo with no life.

As far as your deck list goes putting out a bunch of 1/1's in this format in white will not get the job done. There are a lot of what is called wraith effects (day of judgemnt, pyroclasm, black sun's zenith, consume the meek and prolly more). To lay out your entire hand is called over extending and after one of those wraith effects goes off you are left there with your opponent at 10 life or so saying to yourself, well fuck this... if you were going mono white I would do a similar deck to what I made... ill send you a list in a bit...

thanks aaren, and I was thinking of popping in about 4 elite vanguards (gonna order some cards off trollandtoad after i get an idea of what i want) and other 1 cost cards. I picked up an Ajani Goldmane from the shop the other day so his -1 ability should help to pump up my vanguards and other creatures i get out there with his +1/+1 and vigilance. I was thinking of getting about 4 pacifists for protecting from heavy damage, defiantly 4 white knights and some other stuff, but this is just my idea's and I'm not an expert at deck making so tell me if I'm on the right track, thanks again aaren.

Well is a general deck list, some may agree some will not but this deck could definitly be fun to play and teach you about the game. Also I understand you probably do not own alot of these cards, but I do and do not mind lending them to you.

3 Emeria, the Sky Ruin
3 Everflowing Chalice
4 Journey to Nowhere
3 Mimic Vat
20 Plains
4 Squadron Hawk
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Student of Warfare
2 Sun Titan
4 Survival Cache
2 Sword of Body and Mind
2 Sword of Feast and Famine
1 Sword of Vengeance
4 Wall of Omens


And the sideboard...

4 Celestial Purge
3 Day of Judgment
4 Kor Firewalker
4 Leonin Arbiter

Well if you want, a great way to learn is giving me a decklist and I can help you make adjustments based on the decks you might see (the standard meta). That is one thing I happen to know pretty well is the standard meta and adjusting your deck around it is crutial to doing well.

yeah most of those cards you listed I don't have since I have only been playing for about a month, but i will probably be at the shop on Wendsday for casual magic (That means you can use any cards right?) if I can get permission from my mom (being 14 suckss) so we can talk there and maybe I can borrow a few cards and I will probably order some of those cards off the internet and add in elite vanguards and white knights since I like both of those cards. Oyeah and one more thing, for white weenies I should go all white right? I don't think it would make sense to have a 2 color white weenies since their "White" lol.

[aaren]

hahaha true that man. Your in ramapo tho right? Unless there are 2 new players named joe... I live right over in overlook in ramapo and am more than willing to come on over with the cards... and ya casual wed u can use proxys.

[troy2421]

yeah im in ramapo, I live in Airmont/Monsey (im like on the border of both towns) but idk if my mom would be cool with someone coming over but definitely bring the cards to casual wednsday and we can play and talk about how i can improve my deck and maybe borrow a few cards from you. I'll make a deck with the cards I currently have and try it out on wendsday and you can help me with it.

[aaren]

i meant ramapo college lol but ok ya, ill cya wed

[chulak]

Well, I've built more than few white weenies decks and I think theres a very budget deck that i think is very viable. Have you ever heard of the "Quest deck"?

[aaren]

hahaha nope! xD

[troy2421]

no i haven't either, but I am intrigued by the name........continue
