What white and black both miss now is good middle range creatures to seal the deal. (ie, the Serra and Sengir) That is where the Crusades and Bad Moons come into play. While good in and of themselves, I do not think they hold the deal as well. I am very wearry to give my oppentant an advantage as well, so the Crusades and Bad Moons are not the route I am prone to take. What I do like though is the E.Armor to fill this gap. With that in mind I have developed a deck that is quick, effective and relies on little of what the other person is playing. Key elements involved were orginally the Tithe/Armageddon combo. I held the land down to 21 plains and the Tithe allowed for two things. 1) Get the land I needed 2) Thin the deck Imgane that with WW, a great way to go. But then the E.Armor came out, and the Tithe worked even better if that is possible. Now with Abyence, I believe WW is a major force. It's quick, got the mid range creatures, and has defenses enough to stop a Mac Truck.
