Deck Description

A G/W Aggro deck that I built.

10/18/12- After playing this deck a few times, I really like how it plays. The mana curve is near-perfect. I have discovered that if I do not draw an Arbor Elf or Avacyn's Pilgrim (along with a Forest, Sunpetal Grove, or Temple Garden), it's best to mulligan. If I have any of the dorks in my opening hand, along with the Temple Garden, it's worth it to pay the 2 life to bring the Garden into play untapped. This can get things going quickly.

I generally like Bramblecrush to get rid of Land, Artifacts, and Enchantments that are detrimental to success. But to maximize the speed of the deck, I went with Naturalize in the sideboard. I like it better than Ray of Revelation because it has more flexibility...though having 2 RoR would be like having 4 Enchantment destroyers.

I use Farseek to fish the Temple Gardens out of the deck, or a Plains if need be.

The sideboard is designed to deal with Black and Blue decks mostly.

I like Ajani, but it's a toss up between him and Garruk, Primal Hunter. Ajani can be used to pump up your creatures, make sure that an attacking creature gets through, and produce additional creatures. However, Garruk can create creatures and help you draw, providing card advantage.

Thank you. Played it at FNM yesterday. Lost 2-0 to a U/W control deck first round, won 2-1 in a mirror match 2nd rd, swept a mono U deck third, and thanks to mana issues, I got swept in the 4th. Played in a tournament today wen 3-1, going 2-0 in each of the first three rounds, before succumbing to another U/W control deck in the finals. First match I got mana screwed, second match I got mana flooded. Have another tournament tomorrow and may run it one last time for awhile.
