Since the release of tempest I've been playing a white weenie that could well be described as a "sleightknight" deck. 2 Gemstone Mine 2 Undiscovered Paradise 2 Flood Plain 2 Island 16 Plains 4 Sleight of Mind 4 Armageddon 2 Pacifism 4 White Knight 4 Order of the White Shield 4 Longbow Archer 4 Sky Spirit 4 Soltari Priest 4 Soltari Monk 2 Cloudchaser Eagle As you can see, there are 16 Prot. Creatures. When I first made the deck, the sleights lived in the sideboard. However, I found that they are so useful in a deck with so many prot. creatures, that I moved them to the main deck. The sleights are also very useful to stop all those nasty colour hosers in tempest, such as dread of night. I can sleight the spell before it hits the table. Also, if I can sleight a couple of shadow creatures to the primary colour of my opponent's deck, and geddon, I've basically won the game. The geddon's work incredibly well with shadow creatures.
