Off-White Weenie...for your consideration

Has to be spashed with something for better removal, right?
May as well start with black...

Any comments and sugestions, as always, are welcomed.

why not put arena's in instead of skeletal skrying and some swamps instead of COB's. looks like too much pain for the deck.

I agree with rkoelsch about the Arena vs. Scrying. The Scrying is unpredictable, and it probably works best in a deck that fills the graveyard quickly, but the Arena is double-black. I'd say try both, but keep in mind the Scrying doesn't work well with the Mystic Crusader either.

Also, I don't think you need the Cities of Brass, that means every time you need black mana you are going to take a point of damage. That's going to amount to a lot over the course of a game. I'd probably run swamps or Dromar's Cavern instead.

I wonder if four Voice of All's and Vindicates are really needed? Is the strategy to overflow them with creatures, or get them down to a low number, then finish them off with an angel?

 

[PTQ]

Well, I think that Voice of All is one of the best creatures available in type II right now....and I can't think of a single match-up where she is not usefull.

I've decided to drop black card drawing all together, and re-think the mana situation and add more removal...
