extended empyrial rebel

[luke twigger]

Hi, I had an idea to combine Rebel weenies with Empyrial Armour in an Extended White Weenie deck. The idea being that by Rebel seaching instead of casting spells you keep the Empyrial Armour boosted nicely. It's a very basic decklist at present. Does anyone have a "netdeck" template of Extended White Weenie for comparison? I've been unable to find one on the usual sites as it wasn't a popular deck in the last Extended season. Any ideas or suggestions?

EXTENDED EMPYRIAL REBEL

4 Ramosian Lieutenant
4 Steadfast Guard
4 Fresh Volunteers
4 Defiant Falcon
4 Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero

3 Empyrial Armour
3 Crusade
3 Enlightened Tutor
3 Heartstone

4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Disenchant

4 Wasteland
2 Rishadan Port
2 Kor Haven
12 Plains

A link to the BEST White weenie strategy was put up some time last week on the front page.
Check it out !
The link can also be found in the thread 1.5 Urgent help needed in the casual deck/variants board

I don't know about net decks, but there is a good White Weenie (not Rebel, but it might help) link on the front page.

Replace the Steadfast Gaurds with Ramosian Sargent's
Drop 1 Defiant Falcon for a Ramosian Skymarshall
Drop 2 Lin-Sivvi for another Armour and Crusade
Drop the Enlightened Tutors, I don't think You'll need them, add Armageddons.

Other cards that come to mind: Land Tax, Balance, Scroll Rack

I don't know, just some random Scrub thoughts.

some sideboard options
Enlightened Tutor
Aura
Humility
Visionary
Last Breath
Phyrexian Furnace
CoP Red
Honorable Passage
Erase
Repentance


just standard stuff as asked for.
Tutor sideboard is quite good.
Tax/Rack doesn't work in 1.X as there is no Tax.
Rebels are probably too slow if you are playing
against good 1.X decks like Trix,Oath,TS
But if people are playing Survival decks
then WW will just lose, Tutor/Humility sideboard
gives you hope.

That Primer covers Armageddon strategies, Rebel strategies and Empyreal armor strategies.

Anyway, rebels and Armor probably won't work. Rebels develop slowly and aren't a rush strategy and Crusade might work better.

If you do, you may want to use more Defiant Falcons and other flyers.

Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions. I've just downloaded the primer you mentioned and it comes to 96 pages in MSWord!!!

The White Weenie Primer comes to 127 pages in font 12 in my file.

There are a bunch of new primers on the Type I Mill of Beyond Dominia right now. Drafts are posted on the forum before they're finally archived. There was Draw-Go, RecSur, and even a rogue mono white control deck.

The best way to try that is to play bear rebel. that is to say, run 4 seargants, 4 fresh volunteers, and 4 steadfast guards, and the rest is standard WW.
