Deck Description

Modification of my goody-goody two shoes deck that just might kick your ass.

Trying to get to 60 cards. Difficult for me, I usually build 80 card decks. Not as many creatures and focusing on life as much as is possible. Standard-tournament legal. Added sideboard to deal with decks employing flying, enchantments that could make it where I can't gain life, artifacts, and "Brave the Elements" if I run into people who play with color-specifics.

Deck discussion for Sweetness and Life Lite

Life gain, worst enemy of the burn decks, played against one today and had no chance against it, and only got the guys life down to 10, then he just regained it all back, this is the kind of deck that would do exactly the same thing to me, very good life gain deck man, check out my Lightning Rod deck, this somehow lost to life gain http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=136919
My suggestion is a bit obvious but how about Ajanji cards, besides the pridemate, everything about Ajanji is lifegain, I mean the planeswalker alone could own, and also maybe try golden urn, if its in your hand at the beginning, then you put it down and every turn on, its getting charge counters and if you sacrifice it, then you get life equal to it's charge counters

Thank you very much for your feedback. I used to play waaaaaay back in the day, like Fallen Empires time. Hadn't touched the cards for over a decade until a few days ago when some friends were playing and I built a deck out of his cards.... and given how badly out of practice I am, I was happy that I was never the first person out during the three-way free for all (went four games until one of them won twice -- they ganged up on me after I won the first time. Good times!) Then I found this site.

I'll check those out -- they might be a good replacement for the Scute Mob. My usual strategy in White/Green is to get out small creatures early for blockers to keep myself alive through the 5th turn. After that I'm generally going to have enough life or powerful enough creatures to survive. Saw those were 1 casting cost, balanced the deck so there was about the same amount of white as of green, and had a potential to be powerful later on... :)

Thank you again for your suggestions. I am not at all familiar with the cards that are played nowadays.

Well if the case is to mainly get life gain, put in holy strength for creatures, and golden glow moths as defenders/life gain grabbers. One cost for a 0/1 flying and when it dies, you gain four life, not a bad card man. Alot has changed man, green/white lifegain is getting difficult since the colours are now being very specific when it comes to what they can do, green has fewer life gain than 10 years ago.

so a mono white lifegain is something that you might be better of with. Honor of the pure is a favourite card for every white weenie user. but this card can work wonders for you, giving your creatures +1/+1, given that their all white, and you have life gain, and attacking creatures with attack and power built to kill you.

I would personally sideboard those cards that destroy enchantments or artifacts, because there are decks that use neither and are really good, so naturalize is useless unless the deck has only played artifact decks or leyline decks, then I would understand why you would have that card.

But back to the mono-white decision, Im only suggesting that it would be a good choice if you go mono colour, especially since your restarting your gaming again, mono colour is a good way to start off.

I hope you enjoy the game the way you used to :)

I can see a lot has... my particular style is likely outdated. I wish I still had the deck I usually played back then -- Stream of Life, Elvish Farmer, a few other cards that generated saproling tokens to feed to the Farmer or sacrifice as blockers... yeah, at that time green really was the favorite for life gain, and White was mainly there for support and Serra Angel. That deck was the declared winner in almost every multiplayer free-for-all unless there was a calculated decision to take me out first. And given that I'm a chick, I always took it as a compliment when that decision was made.... meant they were taking me seriously as a player and not just staring at my ... um, assets.

One question, though -- are color-specifics still pretty much considered dirty pool? Part of the reason I never played mono decks, particularly mono white, is that our house rules were that Circles of Protection were a bit... well, .lame. But many creatures had protection against a specific color. White/Green generally was enough to get through any of those decks. So I always went dual color and left out all color specifics.... they only came out if someone else broke the house rules. :)

It has been fun exploring to get back into this game. Too bad I work weekends now and most card shops do their events on weekends... I particularly enjoyed sealed deck tournaments.

well, gender doesnt concern me, no such thing as gentlemen in the game :P
Well you have friends in the house that could help you get those cards I guess, most of them are great for budget players. I would play you no different from anyone else ;)

Much appreciated, though generally it wasn't them attempting to be gentlemen that caused the problem. Then again I was only one of two teenage girls who played at that particular comic/card shop and the teenage guys were .... well, teenage guys. :)

I'm not sure how many cards I'll be able to get from people I know, but fortunately it appears there are many out there on Ebay. Wasn't quite as easy to build decks without buying boosters back then... ;) Thanks again!, Took two of your suggestions while still retaining this as a green/white. I'll probably try out a mono white life build here next. :)
