[Standard] Building a Human Deck
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 25, 2013, 10:57 a.m. by Toddler_Tiger
I am playing G/W for about a month now. I made the first place last week at my local FNM, using the Precinct Captain . But i am not happy with him (No use for the Soldier Tokens) so i am trying to build something with the Fencing Ace because i saw Double Strike and Trample as my best way to win. It kills the creatures of other Aggro Decks with hitting twice on them and it kills the Control Decks as fast as required.But there are a few cards i am not sure about.
Hamlet Captain or Trusted Forcemage ?How to build a Sideboard to win versus Jund (Fiend Hunter , Pithing Needle , Guildscorn Ward (Olivia)), gain life versus aggro (Nearheath Pilgrim , Blind Obedience ), to ignore tokens (Blind Obedience, Silklash Spider ) and destroy Detention Sphere and Oblivion Ring (War Priest of Thune ).
You can come with any idea you have. I was thinking about playing Azorius Humans or Junk Humans or Orzhov Humans; so write everything you think it's helpfull for me. My biggest problems are removals, Lifegain (As played in Jund: Thragtusk, Vampire Nighthawk) and Control Decks in lategame.
Which One Drop?Experiment One won't grow, Boros Elite needs a lot of Creatures to attack in a group (Not bad with the Tokens of Precinct Captain and the second buff of Hamlet Captain . Wolfbitten Captive needs mana to grow but fits good with the Avacyn's Pilgrim and Mayor of Avabruck Flip .
I hope here are some players who know more about building a Human deck than me. I don't want to play something like the Sublime Archangel , i like the way with Silverblade Paladin (Double Strike).
Well this guy usually makes some very sound white weenie decks. http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=11052

If you want the fastest deck possible, Naya Blitz is the way to go. Here is my take on it: I'd Champion YOUR Parish. Hope you like it.

I was thinking about Naya Blitz too but i don't like the Frontline Medic and won't miss the Double Strike. It's not that i want to be the fastest, i just want a good fitting group of creatures without the problems i listed.

Frontline Medic is great. Counter a Bonfire of the Damned or Sphinx's Revelation , as well as enabling you to smash into your opponent's creatures with no regrets. One of the problems you listed was late game. With this deck, your opponent will have no late game, as you can regularly win before your opponent stabilizes. For your GW I'd run Thalia, Guardian of Thraben mainboard for sure. It wrecks everyone that isn't aggro. The other option is to play Naya Humans (non-blitz), the only differences being that you have Huntmaster of the Fells Flip and Restoration Angel added, and take out the one drops and mauler for Avacyn's Pilgrim and the above-mentioned cards. This deck will be better mid-late game, and can still get fast starts. However, it is more expensive (cash-wise).

Fencing Ace enchanted with Rancor , Predator's Gambit , Ethereal Armor , and some other stuff and you're set. Try this deck: One Mana Glee v2

I am not a fan of the One Mana Glee idea; and i don't have the money to add creatures like the Restoration Angel or the Huntmaster.
Atm I try playing with 27 creatures (No Forcemage, No Hamlet Captain) but with a 4th Rancor and the Devine Deflections.
