A better description will be here soon.

A prototype "good stuff" white/black midrange deck. The deck is built around a core of: Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Archangel of Thune, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, and Angel of Serenity . I decided to add black because both Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Obzedat, Ghost Council are not only amazing bombs but synergize well with Archangel of Thune. Originally I had more creatures mainboard, but have shifted away from that in favor of much more removal. Now the deck is much more evenly centered between B/W.

Comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Do I dump the build and go a while new way? — April 1, 2014

Edit

I'm considering dumping this build in favor of a W/G lifegain build. Remember the goal of the build was on the white core of Brimaz, Archangel of thune, Elspeth, and Angel of Serenity.

Green gives me access to Voice (synergizes with tokens), ramp, Courser, and a lot of appealing possibilities.

What do you think? Chime in and let me know. Clearly something needs to change and the question is whether the B/W/r is forcing a square peg into a round hole.
