New and Updated Decks

I love White Weenie decks. Fast, cheap creatures with some enhancements to try and kill the opponent before they can even get their deck really into play. Dropping a Savannah Lions on the first turn, then dropping and equipping a Bonesplitter on turn two to hit the opponent for four points of damage is just delightful. However, given the current power of affinity, this is definitely a casual deck.

This deck is all about speed. There isn't a creature in the bunch that costs more than two mana to cast. Of the other spells, only the equipment costs more than two to get into play and use. The Steelshaper's Gift lets you go tutoring for the equipment that you need, and four Bonesplitters give you a decent chance of pulling one in the first 10 cards.

We next come to a mild retooling of the 'Arcbound Return' deck I have talked about before. I wanted to add more artifact lands into the mix to make the Cranial Plating more effective. I added 4 Seats of the Synod and Aether Spellbombs to give me the artifact lands as well as allow me to bounce something if needed or draw a card. The new version looks something like this:

Creatures:
4x Disciple of the Vault
4x Leonin Elder
4x Arcbound Crusher
4x Arcbound Ravager
4x Arcbound Stinger
20 total creatures

Other Spells:
4x Second Sunrise
4x Aether Spellbomb
4x Chromatic Sphere
4x Cranial Plating
4x Aether Vial
20 other spells

Land:
4x Vault of Whispers
4x Ancient Den
4x Seat of the Synod
4x Darksteel Citadel
4x Glimmervoid
20 land

We'll see how effective the changes are.
