3 Seal of Cleansing

Creature enchancing "tricks" (5)
3 Crusade

I thought Land Tax was restricted? I guess I was wrong...

But, at any rate, LandTax/ScrollRack White Weenie can be very efective, and fairly cheep to build.

Rakso's design is certainly better ..

In your deck you should avoid non aggressive creatures like Mother of rune.

Soltari Visionary is certainly a plus.

If you have only 2 land tax and 1 rack, it is quite unlikely that you will get the tax/rack combo going.
So why not shift to WW instead.

creatures (24)
2 tundra wolves (kills ball lightning)
4 Savannah Lions
3 White Knight
3 Soltari Priest
3 soltari Monk (only if you are going to face hatred or suicide black decks)
3 Warrior en-Kor
3 order of the white shield
2 soltari visionnary
1 Paladin en-Vec

Removal (9)
1 Balance
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Seal of Cleansing
1 aura of silence (if you have them, great to stop your opp playing artefacts)

Creature enchancing "tricks" (8)
3 Crusade
2 Reverent Mantra
3 Empiryal armor (still a beating in early game)

Mana (19)
14 Plains
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland

SB:
4 Abeyance
4 armaggeddon
4 parallax wave
2 disenchant
1 aura of silence

But hey, that's just me, and it depends what you are going to face in the tourney..

Thanks Mundungo, I actually could make that deck.
but I have a couple of questions. It seems the crusades and the armors are at cross purposes. With the Armor I thought you would play 1 creature and the armor and then beat. Whereas with the crusade I think you want at least 3 creatures in play to be effective. I think I should have one or the other and replace with Tithes. lmk

I just dont see why you want to run tithe, since you are monowhite.

Tithe fills your had making the Armor bigger and also thins the deck along the lines of land grant(not as efficient). Thoses were my thoughts.

If you have Savannahs, here is another build that can be effective:

4 Soul Warden
4 Savannah Lions
3 Order of Leitbur
3 Order of the White Shield
3 Warrior en-Kor
4 Soltari Priest
4 Crusade
3 Disenchant
4 Land Grant
4 Rancor
3 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
4 Savannah
16 Plains

The Wardens and en-Kors really help win the creature deck matches. The SB should have Armageddons and Aura of Silence, maybe Empyrial Armour/Armadillo Cloak if you expect a lot of WW or burn decks.

A long time ago at 'Worlds' this deck took Brian Hacker to the quarter-finals

Creatures(27)

3x Nomads en-Kor
3x Palidin en-Vec
4x Soltari Monk
4x Soltari Priest
1x Soltari Visionary
4x Soul Warden
4x Warrior en-Vec
4x White Knight

Spells(16)

1x Aura of silence
4x Cataclysm
3x Disenchant
4x Empyrial Armor
4x Tithe

Land(17)

17x Plains

I suggest you find room for Orim's Chant. this deck doesn't always work against sligh maybe Disciple of law?

i still don't see the point of empyrial armor...they just seem counter-intuitave to this deck. i'd put 4 cursed scrolls in their place. also, find room for 4 icatian javelineers, and possibly 2 serras and/or thunder spirits.

but you'll still stand very little chance of winning the tourney if you're playing that in type 1.

3x Soul Warden
3x Mother of Runes
2x Soltari Priest
2x Soltari Monk
4x White Knight
2x Pegasus Charger
2x Devout Witness
4x Paladin En-Vec
4x Soltari Champion

4x Abeyance
4x Worship
2x Glorious Anthem
2x Disenchant

1x Sol Ring
1x Drifting Meadow
2x Ruins of Trokair
2x Kjeldoran Outpost
15x Plains

I've been tuning this deck for 9/10ths of forever.
Each card has a reason.
Soul Warden - Early life. Sligh MUST shoot this.
Mother of Runes - Target removla starts to suck.
Pegasus Charger - blocks & kills Hypnotic Specters
Soltari Monk - Pro. black and shadow for 2
Soltari Priest - Pro. red and shadow for 2
White Knight - Pro. black and first strike for 2
Pegasus Charger - kills Hyppie, gives me a flyer
Devout Witness - Potentially infinite Disenchants, and a warm body
Paladin En-Vec - Pro. black, pro. red, first strike for 3
Soltari Champion - MVP, grows his friends, shadow

Abeyance - Sligh hates this. So do lots of decks. Replaces itself.
Worship - Can conceivably cut off a path to victory.
Glorious Anthem - AH
Disenchant - DUH.

Drifting Meadow - Late-game, when you don't need mana, this cycles away.
Ruins of Trokair - A quick mana boost can be very handy.
Kjeldoran Outpost - GREAT synergy with Worship. Almost a path to victory unto itself.
Plains - If I have to tell you this, you shouldn't play.

I know that this is type 1.5, not t1, but this is what I've been using. I haven't been able to take it to any big tournaments, but it has been working out ok.

1 Rath's Edge
2 Kor Haven
18 Plains

2 Serra Angel
2 Mageta the Lion
4 Paladin en-Vec
4 Mother of Runes
4 Savannah Lions

2 Wrath of God
2 Parallax Wave
4 Armageddon
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Disenchant
2 Crusade
4 Glorious Anthem

I know that it's nothing original, but good, old-fashioned beatdown is still a good thing. Hope this helps.
