FormOverFunction on What's your favorite card?

I always forget about cards when I try to answer these questions, but I’ll try again ;p One of the first cards I ever played was Order of Leitbur so maybe I’ll pick that one. Paired maybe with Holy Strength or Holy Armor with the old art (like Melissa Benson’s). Back from the days of painted art and first-strike-dominance. Weird.

Played about 4 games now and some changes were made let me know what you think...
The following were added: Heliod, Sun-Crowned, Soul Warden, Aetherflux Reservoir, Sun Titan, Linden, the Steadfast Queen, Ajani's Pridemate, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun, Smothering Tithe, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest, Flawless Maneuver, Altar of the Pantheon.

In replacement of the following; Skybind, Gerrard's Battle Cry, Daybreak Coronet, Consecrate Land, Celestial Dawn, Order of Leitbur, Glittering Lion, Clergy of the Holy Nimbus, Order of the White Shield, Brightling, Herald of Anafenza, and Knight of the Holy Nimbus

Celestial Dawn was hard to remove, but i was unsure how it worked with Blood Moon or Emeria, The Sky Ruin. So let me know your thoughts. I went more life gain, but it keeps me around a bit longer. With most of the creatures being low powered unless pumped up by other creatures, something was needed Sun Titan gets things back the mana cost for most critters is 3 or under. and if titan doesnt work or is removed Emeria, the sky ruin gets him back. Sun Titan and Kami of False Hope is so fun.

Shagoth Let me know what you think, its early in the process. i am interested in y

I'm not a huge fan of Howling Mine in general, since it helps your opponent draw more lands to recover from Armageddon. You definitely don't need 4 Library in addition to 3 Mines. I'd cut some or all of the Mines in favor of something like Icy Manipulator, which can double as mana denial and creature control. I think the original Erhnam-geddon decks also included a handful of efficient creatures for early chip damage or defense (Savannah Lions, White Knight, Order of Leitbur, that sort of thing), if you don't like the Icy Manipulator idea.

Also, I just noticed that Black Vise isn't in here. It should be an auto-include in the maindeck unless you tend to run into a lot of aggro decks that empty their hands quickly.

TheMadRocketeer on 3rd edition white deck?

How strict are you being on including only 3rd (Revised) edition cards? The other White Knight-like cards, Order of the White Shield, Order of Leitbur, and Silver Knight, came later than the third (Revised) edition. All are great, though.

Some more good ones:
Eye for an Eye to turn a loss into a tie or otherwise prevent a crushing blow from being one-sided
Righteousness for a fantastic combat trick - "Look. My Mesa Pegasus just ate a dragon!"
Lance as a great ability for cheap
Wrath of God to reset the battlefield
Resurrection as a perfect card to follow a board sweep
Death Ward as another - Doesn't help against Wrath, though.

Revised also has some great color-response cards, including the B, U, G, R, & W Circles of Protection and Wards, Conversion, and Karma.

Rabid_Wombat on 3rd edition white deck?

What the guys above suggest is 100 percent great advice - however, keep in mind Balance is cool as long as you just run one...some groups may get salty if you run four..

I would also add:

2 - 3 Crusades to buff your little guys, playsets of Savannah Lions, Order of Leitbur, Icatian Javelineers and an Armageddon or two so you can slow down other decks that rely on more mana - just make sure you have a Plains or two in hand when you cast it so you aren't slowed down.

You'll also note that Order of the Ebon Hand and Knight of Stromgald are the parents of Knight of Malice. Anyone who does not like it is either a fool, or doesn't remember the power of those two knights making babies.

The white counterpart Order of Leitbur and Order of the White Shield are the parents of the Knight of Grace I'm almost certain as well.

We'll see if the White/Green "Go Wide" strategies can hold the Darkness this time. I assure you; I do not think so. And this little group of Gatewatch planeswalker decks. I doubt they'll be able to succeed over the long term. Bannings will happen. Mark my words. But hey, at least we'll get 90 days of greatness.

I had not considered these, but I certainly will. Thanks! The only one I know I have at least one of currently is Cemetery Gate, but I'll check for the others. I need to work on my mana base (to better handle cards with or in the cost), and I've wanted to replace some or all of the Order of Leitburs and Order of the White Shields and/or increase the creature count. Your suggestions will help me make a good start. Very much appreciated.
