thought i'd suggest a simple WW test deck for you guys to try out all
your new clever decks against - if it rolls you over you're being too
clever :)

Land
12 plains
2 gemstones
2 UP's
2 wastelands
_____
18

(you can splash colour in the 'bord and keep them guessing which
though i'd strongly suggest a sleight or two for glooms etc)
(you can only get away with 18 land because of the next card)

4 tithes
(these are great in WW anyway , protect vs LD and HD and are very
strong in combo with the next card)

1 scroll rack (ok so it's even more broken with land tax , but we
can't play that any more)

3 crusades
2 emp. armors
1 aura  of solitude

2 enlightened tutors (go get  any of the above 4 or stuff you 'bord in
later)

3 disenchants
1 wrath
1 geddon
_________
18

then the critters...

1CC
2 vigilant martyrs (sac to regen critters or save enchantments)
3 sacred guides (sac to draw next white card in library)
(don't use their ability if the opponent might cast bends/sleights!!)
2 soldari foot soldiers
(i was tempted to go with 4 and drop the mesa pegasi - but i always
think you just want enough 1 CC critters to drop one on the first turn
and then the 2CC stuff is what you really want in hand)
_____
7 x1cc

2CC
4 white knights
4 pump knights
4 soldari priests (2/1 prot. red and shadow -yes please!)
4 master decoys (it's a 1/2 critter if he's no blockers out ; it's an
icy for critters if he has...it's not a sword but it'll do for
pseudo-removal - i mean how many peacekeeper decks to you actually
see?)
2 mesa pegasi (not sure about these - but banding and flying are
useful - freewind  falcon,longbow archer and more shadow
critters/mtenda herder  were the other critter options)
_________
18x2cc

TOTAL
61 cards

mana curve:
13@1
25@2
3@3
2@4

i'm not claiming  it's tuned at all but it should do ok as a test
deck,and witha bit of tweaking could even do ok as a 'hangover deck'
at a tourney
any thoughts on anything glaringly obvious wrong with it or missing ?
