White Weenie

Standard forum

With no anthems or any lords really in standard, is White weenie viable? it's always been my favorite deck to play with!

Straight mono white hasn't really been all that viable for quite awhile, but if you add another color it can be. Some articles for white weenie like decks for standard: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article_search_result.asp?author=Craig%20Wescoe

I used Knights of the Blood Oath for a long time in Return to Ravnica Standard to great success. Not so much has changed since then such that it's impossible to do. This deck placed in a MTGO Standard Premier event very recently and should be your foundation.

The key additions for the archetype from Gatecrash are Frontline Medic, Blind Obedience, and Boros Reckoner.

I would still say that it's not as good as 2- or 3-color aggro, though. Its scope and tools are too limited to have much success in large events.

When the Scars of Mirrodin block shipped out, the idea behind white weenie got neutered hard when we lost Hero of Bladehold Honor of the Pure Mirran Crusader and Blade Splicer... I was just curious to see if anyone has any ideas for this.

Splashing green for Rancor could be fun. I've done that with my extended weenie, hehe, and it's working well.
