Remember that white is almost all about presence: constant, repressive presence. What is his strategy, specifically? Which angel cards do he already have?

My favorite white card is Harm's Way. It's a one-drop and allows for a quick turn in the wheel of fortune.

Also, guides online are always a big help.

well being the nice brother i am, im going to let him have my whites (becasue im not a huge fan of running white)
as for what he has that is of use

Sword of Feast and Famine
Victory's Herald
Aeigis Angel (jap)
Shattered Angel
Serra Angel

As for his stratagy
He's either going to play one of two ways
He going to be defensive via spells and healing
or hes going to try to do what he did in yugioh. Use spells and abilities to drain life.

to be honest. I think he either needs to run an infect deck, White/Blue angels and spirits or a mono white with humans

And yes, guides do help

oh, forgot to ask. Im stil new so i dont know what you mean when your talking about presence for white

No problem! Sorry it took me so long to respond; I was at MFF.

This article has an explanation of the five colors put very succinctly, but I think it requires Flash: http://www.wizards.com/magic/multiv.....px?color=white

As for his specific strategy, I think mono white with humans is the best way to go. It will give him more to work with early on, and a lot of small hitters will be devastating with victory's herald.

Feel free to send me notes with other questions, or ask on here. I love talking about MTG.

Its ok. Im a patient fox :P

I would, however, like you to take a look at a deck list i have made for a friend

Main board
2x Kessig Wolf
2x Darkthicket wolf
2x Feral Ridgewolf
2 Kessig Cagebreakers
2x Kurin outlaw
2x mayor of avabruck
2x Instigators gang
2x Daybreak Ranger

4x shock
4x naturalize
1x parallel lives
2x bramblecrush
3x brimstone volley
2x arc trail
2x moonmist
3x lightning bolt

10x forest
10x mountain
2x kessig wolf run
2x copperline gorge

Side Board
4x gnaw to the bone
2x ancient grudge
2x furor of the bitten
1x full moon rise
1x blastphomist act
3x concussive bolt
2x fissure vent


Im worried about the side board and a little bit about the ratio of creatures to spells in the main.

I like your deck. It's very furry. =^w^= I'm by no means an expert with Innistrad, but I here's my two cents:

This seems like a very aggressive deck, one that seeks to overwhelm with powerful monsters quickly, yes? How do you like to play it?

*I'm curious about parallel lives. Parallel Lives only combos with 4 cards in your deck, so it won't come out that often. I would sideboard it and substitute Full Moon's Rise. It will still help you get damage through, and you can save your wolves in a pinch if you need to.

*You don't have enough artifacts to get Concussive Bolt's Metalcraft effect. Drop it for Lava Axe (same cost, more damage).

*I wouldn't worry too much about the monster ratio, unless your friend really notices it during play. Wolves are stronger in packs (see instigator gang and kruin outlaw), so you'll need plenty.

This seems to me like a very well put together deck. How long have you been playing?

-giggles- well the aim was for a wolf/werewolf deck ^^
But thats how I play. Kill kill kill then let my zombies eat you up. I dont know how well he will like that syle.

I have been playing for 4 months. I put this together after getting a push in the right direction

Awesome! I hope I have been of some help. We should play a game sometime. =^w^=

lol you were a big help to tell you the truth. There aren't that many MTG players that i know and the one that built my deck is too busy for me to bother. When i get my deck in order i would love to get my ass kicked xD

i might need your help. It seems my brothers deck is kicking my butt. I can understand the basis of what he wants, but with humans in there, i throw in artifacts and with artifacts i throw in metal craft. Thats another aspect i didn't account for. Should i even bother with the metalcraft.

The artifacts im lookin at are
Butchers cleaver, sharpened pitchfork, blazing torch, silver inlaid dagger, sword of feast and famine, maybe Trepanation Blade.

Oh, if you want to continue with this and want to take it to notes, just let me know

Remind me, which colors are you playing? Also, we can continue here or over notes, whichever you prefer.

this is for my brothers deck. Mono white angels/humans

Thanks. I got a little confused. Could you send me a decklist over note? Also, what kind of deck does your brother play?

i dont have a decklist made. I have a list of cards im considering incorporating. im trying to keep the metal craft (if im gonna use it) to anything with equipping equipment, getting them back from the discard, or anything sorceies/instances that would seem useful. i can give you a list if you want

The best advice I can give is to keep your deck focused. How do you plan on winning? Figure that out and tailor every card around that idea. If you try to make things too complicated, it will be hard to draw the cards you need.

Metalcraft is a great mechanic, one of my favorites, but unless you have LOTS of artifacts (as in, most of your deck), you'll often find that you can't get the effect for it.

Thank you for that . I should be able to get this deck made soon. Then i can put all focus onto mine

Ok. Keep me posted. :3

Ok, tightened my brothers deck down more. Defensive is how he wants to play. opposite of me
I dont know why im having issues with this......
