My latest version of WW

[rkoelsch]

They are having an heated discussion on this over at Brainburst. I have posted my deck there but I thought I would post it here as well. I will explain each selection.

Creatures-24
4-Savannah Lions- Now some things don't require an explanation

4-Suntail Hawks- brought these in over deftblades and wolves because of evasion

4-White Knight- I originally thought Whipcorder but I forgot about
First Strike which is useful

4-Silver Knight- I hear there are Goblins out there

4-Leonine Skyknight- Another Evasion creature

4-Dawn Elemental- can block almost anything and survive and is a beatstick with a boneslitter or plate originally went 2 and 2 Exalted but the morph is too vulnerable(and Dawn is cheaper)


Spells-14
4-Bonesplitter-This is major Tempo

2-Empyrial Plate-This is a monster but sometimes you run out of cards so...

2-Memory Mask-this should replenish our hand with all the evasion creatures

4-Glorious Anthem-Was going to go all equipment but this is needed against Infest and Pyroclasm

2-Arrest- for the odd Visara or Akroma that makes it in play

Land-22
4-Ancient Den a lot of discussion on including this. It dies to the Vengence but helps against Flashfire. If WW does get popular I will expect Flashfire

18-Plains

Have you considered Leonin Sun Standard in place of the Anthems or along side of them? I'm not sure that they are necessarily better, but they have awesome finishing power. 3WWW = +3/+3 for your team.

 

[rkoelsch]

I think they are counterproductive to Plate. I want to be holding lands to power plate not play them to power standard. I just feel more comfortable that the 1/1 is there all the time not just when I have the mana.

I think wing shards could really help you....

Maybe even Rain of Blades...

 

[rkoelsch]

I am wondering if I should have the Wing shards Main and sideboard Arrest against non attacking pains like Visara or Sharpshooter.

You could always run Damping Matrix to handle those non-mana abilities... they are activated...

And it wouldn't hurt you much...

It would shut down wizards, elves, soldiers, pingers, visara and everythign else...

 

[Reverend Love]

What about World Slayer as a possible reset button if your getting out run?

Have you guys even heard of Auriok Steelshaper? He moves Bonesplitters and Scimitars around for zero mana! He pumps Soldiers and Knights up. I think he is the new anchor for WW, and all builds are wrong without him.

4 Deftblade Elite
4 Auriok Steelshaper
4 Leonine Skyknight
4 Silver Knight
4 White Knight
4 Raise the Alarm

4 Bonesplitter
1 Lightning Greaves
2 Loxodon Warhammer
2 Leonine Sun Standard


Empyrial Plate as previously stated is very devastating but variable. The Warhammers are speculatively good with the First Strike Knights. The Sun Standard is very good in general but crazy good with Raise the Alarm. If nothing else you can make some pseudo-hasty Soldiers EOT and equip them up.

You can flesh out the deck from there but you probably want Second Sunrise in your sideboard to stop mass removal.
