Recent Changes?

Deck need a way to get through damage and I decided that Shadowspear is the tool the deck needed. Giving lifelink and trample is so relevant right now. Not to mention, 1 cmc is easily worked around.

The Deck

So basically I built White Weenie with a lifegain payoff. As it stands, I'll be playing 8 1 cmc creatures with lifelink and another 5 1(ish) cmc things that can give evasion (Shadowspear & Faerie Guidemother) grand total of 11 creatures. Heliod, Sun-Crowned is the ultimate payoff, and Linden, the Steadfast Queen really helps with that, gaining a bunch of life when a creatures attack together and adding a lot of devotion to turn Heliod into a creature.

Weaknesses

So obviously, I've weak to sweepers.

Cards I'm still considering

Gingerbrute: The deck could use another evasion 1 cmc creature and paying 3 to making it psuedo unblockable and giving it lifelink with Heliod is a pretty good play. The main con is the fact that it doesn't give devotion to Heliod and isn't a white creature for Linden, the Steadfast Queen.

Cavalier of Dawn: Extra removal and gives me either the Nymph or Heliod when it dies. But is also a 5 cmc creature. Still on the fence.

Elspeth Conquers Death:The closest white will get to The Eldest Reborn is removal and potential recursion. The deck is kinda weak to sweepers and doesn't have enough removal. Maybe deserves a slot or two?

Thanks for reading!
