Just a little white weenie/devotion deck that I have been toying around with. It has been working pretty well for me during playtesting and I think it's a cheap alternative to the expensive decks. It has really good sideboarding. For matchups I'm giving a 65 to 35 against red based aggro because the dudes in this deck (though they resemble napoleon in stature) are actually bigger than the dudes in the rakdos aggro types, and they can win combat trades. And 75 to 25 post sideboard because fiendslayer paladin just WRECKS. Gift of orzhava is also a really positive sb against aggro. Green rampy beater type builds are gonna be a bit tough and i'm going to give 30 to 70 pre board because they have bigger dudes than you and it's a bit tricky to swing in. There isn't much you can bring in from the board, because fiendslayer isn't the most effective in this matchup. Control should be a it of a struggle but if you play cautiously and draw out their spells on your little dudes you should be fine. Try to pressure them enough before the inevitable elspeth. 50-50 pre and post board. Side out your pacifism and banisher priest and bring in your glare of heresy and brave the elements for elspeth and supreme verdict. Actually a surprisingly good matchup against mono black, and I'm giving a 60 to 40 pre board, because of the spear of heliod that can punish their dudes. Desecration demon is going to be a toughy but it's just a beast of a card that you will have to deal with in any aggro. Post board you are pretty good, a 50/50 bring in your celestial flare to trick those dessie's, and try some fiendslayers if it floats your goat.

Thank you for reading and any positive feedback or recommendations are awesome and subs and +1's would be even cooler.

Updates Add

-4 Dryad Militant because their ability is redundant and they don't do much besides being a vanilla 2/1. +4 Hopeful Eidolon because they go with the new enchantment sub-type and work better in the late game. +4 Ethereal Armor -4 Pacifism Pacifism was underwhelming and not worth even 1 copy in the SB and MB, but Ethereal Armor is the main tribal enchantment which can be a beater. I'm taking these change to fnm so maybe I'll post about my record after friday... Peace, marok
