Type 2 White Horde

[Necrosavant]

The card shop I play at I went in last week with a B/R deck, this week I want to go in another direction, a white weenie deck . The only thing is, I don't really know what to mix in it. Mono white, artifacts? What creatures, spells, ect? I know Meekstone goes in, that's a given. Any suggestions would be helpful. It's not a strict type 2
<type casual! >,but that's the framework I'm working in.
Heeelp!

Rebel, non rebel, combination rebel. If you stay with Meekstone here is one possible deck

4-Ardent Soldier
4-Diving Griffin
4-Chimeric Idol
4-Charging Troll
4-Serra Angel

4-Meekstone
4-Glorius Anthem
4-Parallax Wave
4-Wax/Wane

4-Brushland
4-Elfhame Palace
2-Dust Bowls
2-Kor Haven
2-Forests
10 Plains

but this is just an idea( not necessarily the best) If most of the others play non white creature decks Blinding Light works real well with Meekstone.

I think I only saw one player <that I played, it *was* my first time there, so I have no idea the total deck field and "shop metagame" > who was playing white, but my memory is sketchy on that point. I don't think I want to go totally rebels, maybe one or 2 with good abilities and a 1cc or 2cc to search them out...
for cards...of the rares you mentioned, here's how many I have to work with
3 Meekstone
2 Brushland
1 Kor Haven
1 Dust Bowl
and I'm pretty sure I only have 3 each of Chimeric Idol and Charging Troll...maybe 3 or just 2 Elfhame Palaces. I have a Crusade I can throw in there, cause no one really goes by any set "type #" <type casual >.
I threw a deck together last night but I was a bit confused one I had all the cards I thought could go into it and saw alooot of them wouldn't fit. As it is I have to add more mana, because it kinda stalled every time I tried to playtest it. Here's the deck as it pathetically is now:

9 Plains <need more>
3 Marble Diamonds

critters 1cc
1 Serra Zealot
4 Ramosian Sgt
2 Glittering Lynx
2cc
4 Fresh Volounteers
4 Steadfast Gaurd
2 Longbow Archer
3 Silkenfist Fighter
3cc
3 Alabaster Walls
4cc
1 Ballista Squad
6cc 2 Beast Of Burdens
Combat Tricks/Removal/C.Enchantments <for thier stuff>
2cc
4 Muzzle
3 Afterlife
3 Topple
4cc
4 Mirror Strike
Xcc
2 Excise
Stuff for my guys
3 Serra's Embrace
1 Brilliant Halo
1 Crusade
3 Meekstones

I kinda went over because I forgot about my 2 6th edition cards <Crusade and 1 of the Meekstones> until just now.
Any suggestions on where to go with this is appreciated .
This is only the second Deck I've built in a loooong time, I've been in Magic for a while but only recently have I found a local place to play <which looks to increase it's in-store Magic activities >. I'll post my deck that went 4-1 last Friday later, with a description of what I played ect.

I think this may be doable I left 1 Beast in but you are still a little light in land to support him

Thanks for the decklist !
I'll probably sleeve it up later tonight and then see how it runs, and if I want to tinker with it after that. So many cards, so little deck slots!
I posted my deck from last week, if you want to comment/criticize it. It's the first deck I've made in years, and I made it fairly quickly, so it's not as focused as it could probably be.
Thanks for taking the time to help me .

I think we should replace the topples with afterlife.
the meekstones will prevent large creature from attcking over and over but some small creatures may be a problem.

hm..
that sounds like a good idea. With 3 Meekstones I shouldn't have any trouble keeping the fatties tapped. Mirror Strike I feel is a good card, but it's not removal and it takes up space...I had a whole mess of lifegain cards that didn't survive the first trimming process . I don't have any tutors <I plan on going early tomorrow to look at the commons/uncommons, I need to pick up c/u's from Urza block, I only have 2 starters worth of cards from that block>, but I might see if I can get some tomorrow. I was thinking running some Excise's in those spots <wx, remove attacking creature from the game unless creatures controller pays x>, as it's removal, provided I have enough mana to outdo the other guy/gal.
I'm thinking I might try a Harsh Judgment, which would screw any mono color/ direct damage decks I play <provided I draw it >, maybe throwing in a few Noble Panthers...and a Dueling Grounds would kick with a Serra Embraced BOB.
But I'll sleeve up the deck you suggested, and start playtesting from there, and then tinker with it. I'm torn between going with my B/R deck <after I tinker with it>, or this one....I'm pretty sure I'll go with this one though.
Thanks for the suggestions

The afterlife is not the best removal. also you could probably substitute Sterling groves for the tutors. Have fun.

I'll have to see how many Groves I have...good idea
