[Discussion] Can you help me decide?

[nightmaster]

OK so I have to choose between which deck to make but I can't decide which one will perform better. Can you help?

Deck One: Crusaders

Creatures: 28
4 Mother of Runes
4 Tundra Wolves
4 Silver Knight
4 White Knight
4 Leonin Skyhunter
4 Leonin Squire
4 Soltari Trooper

Other Spells: 12
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Sunbeam Spellbomb
4 Crusade
2 Mask of Memory

Lands: 18
18 Plains

or

Deck Two: Cats with Weapons

Creatures: 24
4 Savannah Lions
4 Silver Knight
4 Leonin Skyhunter
4 Skyhunter Cub
4 Auriok Steelshaper
4 Leonin Den-Guard

Other Spells: 16
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Bonesplitter
4 Mask of Memory
4 Lightning Greaves

Lands:
18 Plains
2 Secludded Steppe


Both are white weenie decks but they have several differences. I know both decks are not super competitive yet but I would like your opinion for which deck is better so I can use it as a base.

Thanks in advance for the help. So, which deck?

Deck 1 seems really dependant on getting a Crusade in play. Deck 2 has more evasion and I like that more. Consider picking up some Soltari Priests.

Skyhunter Cub and Den guard are pretty bad. Why don't you throw the MoR into the second deck?

His right. Protection from a certain color does mean it can also be evasive and not be affected by that color's spells.

Here's a deck you can start with:

Vanilla Sky

Creatures:21

4 Suntail Hawk - flying, has four legs.(KFC experiment gone wrong?).
4 Mother of Runes - Mom is protection, defense, and offense.
2 Jotun Grunt - Big, fights graveyards, beats face
4 Freewind Falcon - flying and Pro: Red for 2 mana? WTF?
3 Serra Avenger - Vigilance, <3 Jitte, Mask, Vial. Also bad is multiples(relatively)
4 Glowrider - Fights thresh, stifles combo w/ Mother of Runes, extra beats.

Equip 7
4 Mask of Memory - A Magic Mask that draws you cards.
3 Umezawa's Jitte - A Magic Stick that wins you games.

Disruption 6
4 Swords to Plowshares - Check.
2 Armageddon - Good with the mask, vial, flagstones, glowrider, and overall low CC.

Aether Vial 4
4 Aether Vial - Yup.

Lands: 22
14 Plains - OK.
4 Flagstones of Trokair - nice with geddon, thins deck of extra Plains.
4 Wasteland - Check.

Both decks suck. I have a white weenie decklist made that uses Winter Orb but I'm too lazy to post it. Maybe when I get the nerve to do it I will. :tongue:

Heres a deck you can start with:

Vanilla Sky

Creatures:19
3 Isomaru, HoK - Best WW evar
1 Suntail Hawk - Flying, nice to see instead of 2nd Isomaru
4 Mother of Runes - Mom is utility, defense, and offense.
3 Jotun Grunt - Big, fights graveyards, beats face
4 Freewind Falcon - flying and Pro: Red for 2 mana? WTF?
4 Glowrider - Slows down thresh, stifles combo w/ Mother of Runes

Equip 7
3 Umezawa's Jitte - Magic Stick that wins you games

Other Spells: 12
4 Swords to Plowshares - check
2 Disenchant - OK
4 Aether Vial - Yup


Lands: 22
14 Plains
4 Windswept Heath
4 Wasteland

22 freakin lands?!? 20 or at least 21 is more than enough...

[xsockmonkeyx]

Mask of Memory is mana hungry, but you may be right. Keep in mind that 4 of those are wastelands.

[Lego]

22 lands is fine when you're running 4 Wasteland and maindeck Armageddon, even if your curve otherwise basically caps at 2. (You really run off 4)
