W/U Levelers

by ChrisChronic420 on 02 May 2010

Main Deck (80 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for W/U Levelers

I don't know if 80 cards is the way to go...especially since you have only 22 lands. ideally, one should have about 2 lands for every 5 cards in a deck, and a level-up deck is certainly no exception.

There are DEFINITELY some cuts you can make to bring down your spell/creature count:
• Elite Vanguard is a great card, but you've already got 4 of two other white one-drops (Student and Escort). I'd drop it.
• I understand that Nomads' Assembly is really cool, but you will NEVER play it here.
• Lifelink, Marshall's Anthem, Mammoth and Hyena Umbras...I don't understand.
• Unified Will is a usable counterspell ONLY in token decks. This is not one of those.
• Cut White Knight, add Halimar Wavewatch. It'll guard against any early hitters, and with Training Grounds it becomes an automatic 6/6.

Things to add:
•Removal - Oust is nice; you can sideboard it if you want, as it's one of the only ways to deal with them pesky Eldrazi. The problem with Cancel is that it's double Island; either take 'em out and add a few Ice Cages or Essence Shatters/Negates, or put in more blue lands. If you have money to spend, the Path to Exile is the best removal there is.
• I cry at the lack of a playset of Time of Heroes in this deck.
• Mana Fixers - I'm not an expert on this, but are Alara cards playable at tournaments still, or are they gone because of Rise? If not, then add some white/blue borderposts. It'll be the best thing you ever did.

Ok, that's enough of that.

Thank you!
I don't know what I was thinking not putting Time Of Heroes in there
Hyena Umbra is sweet because it protects my guys and gives them first strike for 1 mana
White knight has been saving my ass with all the black decks out there.
Thanks for the advice!!!
