: Hi, It's been awhile since I've posted anything to this list and even longer since I've played T1, but I have a balck/white deck up for critiques. The deck tries to exploit the underrated card greed (mainly 'cause I only have 1 necro) and soft lock the opp. under disrupting scepter. Anyway, here it is:
: WHITE:
: 4 serra angel
: 2 staunch defenders
: 4 disenchant
: 4 sword to plwshares
: 4 gerrads wisdom
: 1 hidden retreat
: 1 balance
: 1 celestial dawn (not sure about this. It hasn't played a part in testing yet)
: BLACK:
: 2 greed
: 1 necro
: 1 demonic tutor
: 2 mindwarp
: 4 diabolic edict
: 1 ihsans shade
: 1 dregs of sorrows
: 1 minion of the wastes ( I often have around 30-50 life so I can spend a bit to get him out)
: ARTI:
: 3 disrupting scepter
: 1 sol ring
:
: LAND:
: 1 strip mine
: 4 scrubland
: 4 mishras factory
: 7 plains
: 5 swamp
: 1 maze of ith
: During playtesting, the deck lost 3 out of 10 games. Of these 3, 2 were to geddon and the third was due to mana screw (1 mana in top 15 cards isn't good)
: All help is appreciated, just don't tell me to add power nine and that sort of thing as I dont' have it.

Well for what you have the main deck isn't to bad. I might consider an enlightened tutor or 2 to find the hidden retreat, (for 1 card kills, 20 point torch /strom seeker) and it will also find sacred ground, which I would put in your side board (3 or 4) this will take care of your geddon problem. Also if you have dual lands, gemstone mines,a and or cities of brass I might touch in mana leaks or arcane denials and of course gaeas blessings. This all depends on your style of play of course.
