T1 WW needs help

[Anonymous]

i have a T1 tourney next sunday (the metagame is unknown) and i am playing WW.
This is the deck so far:
2 Longbow archers
4 Mother of Runes (better 1 drop?)
4 Savannah Lions
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 White Knight

1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Balance
2 Armageddon
4 Swords to Plowshares

1 Mox Pearl
1 Cursed Scroll
2 Seal of Cleansing
2 Worship
3 Land Tax
4 Empyrial Armor

17 Plains

SB:
1 Strip Mine (won't include in main because of all WWcc critters)
2 Absolute Law
2 Seal of Cleansing
2 Light of day
2 Null Rod
2 Story Circle
2 Tariff (Against Superman)
2 ??

The deck works as it is but to be honest i would like to put the mothers in SB and put a more agressive 1drop in it's place. Any ideas? i need your opinion - please help.

i just thought that you could put a fun spin on things and add the mask-naught combo into this deck. something like:

2 Longbow archers
4 Phyrexian Dreadnaught
4 Savannah Lions
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 White Knight

1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Balance
2 Armageddon
4 Swords to Plowshares

1 Mox Pearl
1 Cursed Scroll
1 Black Lotus
2 Seal of Cleansing
2 Worship
3 Land Tax
4 Illusionary Mask

17 Plains

You could tutor for the element of the combo that you didn't have and could bluff with other 1drops.  This deck could be fun.  Any opinions?

Pariah might be a good SB option vs red and black (put it on a protection dude). Also, using curiosity and some blue producing mana may help the deck keep its game going past the fourth turn or so. For the one drop, maybe Suntail Hawk or Soltari Footsoldier? they're both really weak, but white doesn't have many aggresive one mana dudes.

4 Land Tax + 1-2 Zuran Orb = GODLIKE !!

[Anonymous]

thank you for the pariah idea, i will add 2 to the SB.  any other idea's?

[Anonymous]

whipcorder is god-like!

4 Whipcorder
4 Savannah Lions
4 Order of Lietbur
4 Soltari Monk
4 White Knight
3 Soltari Priest

1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Balance
4 Swords to Plowshares

3 Null Rod
4 Land Tax
4 Empyrial Armor

15 Plains
4 Wasteland
1 Stripmine

SB:
4 Dust to Dust (the white rack and ruin vs TNT/Mask
4 NullRods (maybe even main over the seals)
4 Seal of Cleansing (vs combo)
3 Tariff (vs morphling/big fatties)

I don't like the Armor in the deck. It's allways a two for one trade in favour of your opponent. Also i find, that Whiporder isn't aggrassiv enough. With WW I want to attack and kill.

I hate WW for a long time now, until i found Az listing in the TMD Tournament. I really like this and think this is as best, as WW can go now. The only change I would do is to remove the Null Rods to the sideboard in a more aggrometa.

Look trough the decklists in the Tournament-Forum.

By the way: This is my first post here. But i'm reading since the beginning. Great site

First of all Mother of Runes is the heart of the deck
Second use 4 long bow archers
Add orims chants---100% MVP
Drop Balance your supposed to overpower them not be behind
SB 4 disinchants and a CoP Red
Use some global pump like Glorius anthem or Crusade
Drop some shadow

[Anonymous]

Please ignore the sideboard I posted earlier,  I should not type while taking nyquill....

I hate to use puns, but DAD I never liked the moms.   Whip corder is one mana critter control to allow your other guys to swing through, he is also a 2/2 for 2 mana which is never a bad deal.  

DAD: I can see your point on balance, it just sees to powerful not to run.  But I can definately see where you don't really need it.  And is has horrible synergy with landtax!

The Armor is DA HOUSE vs sligh, drop it on a priest and swing away leaving your other chumps to block.  

Also armor on knights and lightbeer (pump knights) will drastically help you chances vs TNT.  

For reference here is Az'z deck list (which I agree is great)

Critters

2 Devout Witness
4 Savannah Lions
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 Icatian Javelineers
4 Mother of Runes
4 White Knight

The best removal in the game!
4 Swords to Plowshares

Never Get Mana Screwed Again
4 Land Tax

Keg-a-who? Masti-what?
4 Null Rod

Mana
14 Plains
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Pearl
1 Black Lotus
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland

I again like the whipcorder over the mom since it is more aggressive and can neutralize artifact critters as well.
Javlineers are TECH!!!

Dust to Dust is a sideboard must!
and possibly chants vs control.

[Anonymous]

The Javaliner are more than tech. They are great. The often does the last point of damage after staling.  

The problem with Whiporder is the CC. In a activ and agressiv deck i want a lot of turn one drops. Javaliner, Mom, Tax and Lions gave me 16. Only Tax and Lions gave me 8. If I don't need Mom in my Meta, I add another 1cc drop. Mostly with First Strike agains Pup and Mongoose.

But I play WW as agressiv as possible. Mabye you like it a little more controlish.

javileneers are great. i think they can  go in over the moms...
DAD:i have crusades and if i drop shadow i lose the aggressiveness of the deck.  chant is not needed main but possibly board...balance can turn games around. i run seals over disenchant because i can search for it if i need to.
White Trash: whip corder is a 2/2 for 2 if i'm busy pumping out guys. if he had first strike i would run him but he doesn't so i think hell have to sit this one out. is devout witness better than the seals main?

i am going to main nulls now.  here is an updated list:
2 Longbow archers
2 Devout Witness (so are they worth it?)
4 Icatian Javelineers
4 Savannah Lions
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 White Knight

1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Balance
2 Armageddon
4 Empyrial Armor

1 Mox Pearl
1 Cursed Scroll
2 Worship
3 Land Tax
4 Empyrial Armor

17 Plains

what to take out for the rods? i believe i will need them main...

[Anonymous]

i'm not thinking right...
ok so add 2 nulls and take out scroll and mox?
is this right?

[Anonymous]

Stupid as this might sound, True Believer is actually pretty cool.  He stops a lot of combo for a few turns while they search for Capsize or Recoil, and he prevents a lot of nasty black effects.  Add the fact he can swing for his casting cost and can be pumped with Crusade, and he's well worth his spot in the sideboard.

[Anonymous]

Ok how about something like this.

4 Savannah Lions
4 Soltari Priest
4 Soltari Monk
4 Icatian Javelineers
4 Whipcorder (you can run moms if you want...)
4 White Knight

4 Swords to Plowshares

4 Land Tax
4 Empyrial Armor

4 Null Rod

15 Plains
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland

SB
4 Orim's Chant
4 Seal Of Cleansing
4 Dust to Dust
3 Tariff

[Anonymous]

i think the nulls are appropriate because it's a 5-proxy tourney and everyone will have their p9 proxied.
is devout witness better or worse than nulls?

[Anonymous]

Look at this:

4 Icatian Javelineers
4 Savannah Lion
3 Order of the White Shield
3 Order of Leitbur
4 Soltari Priest
3 Phyrexian War Beast

3 Swords to Plowshares
1 Aura of Silence
4 Land Tax
1 Zuran Orb 30
3 Seal of Cleansing
4 Empyrial Armor
1 Enlightened Tutor
