White weenie from BNG/Theros
Standard forum

So at my shop there's been a strong MUD, and MBD with a slew of G/x midrange stuff and a couple of control shells. What seems strange to me is why white weenie isn't a thing, with cards that support the deck being printed everywhere. Ethereal Armor Rootborn Defenses Eidolon of Countless Battles Brave the Elements Silence Soldier of the Pantheon Brimaz, King of Oreskos . What's your guy's 10 cents on this? I want to commit some of my standard budget to attempting a white weenie shell that's well positioned. Should I? Shouldn't I? Thoughts?

Have you considered adding Fiendslayer Paladin ? He's a little bigger on the curve, but he's a good target for buffs, especially the eidolon. Have you playtested much/know what the matchups are like?

I too am very interested in making a standard White Weenie deck, I've been dying to play monocolor with Theros' push towards it.
For the moment I feel that the deck has two things holding it back: 1) lack of a solid endgame in the 4 and 5 cmc outside of Archangel of Thune and 2) with the release of Bile Blight and Drown in Sorrow , weenie decks might face some trouble against Black/X decks.
