White Protection from Mass Removal
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 31, 2011, 7:34 a.m. by NecroBane
I've been developing a Soldier deck for a while when I began to have doubts whether to convert it into a Knight deck. One key factor was that Knights had Knight Exemplar . Are there any soldier/white related cards that can prevent mass removal of weenies?

Extended - Dauntless Escort , Elspeth, Knight-Errant
Standard - No bloody idea

So I'm guessing Soldiers are just destined to be Wrath of God ded. :(

Eldrazi Monument is likely to be your best bet. Just make sure you have some sort of token gen to feed to it.
As AegairEtapa said, Narrow Escape can help you save key players in a pinch.
Unfortunately, yeah, any aggro deck is just destined to be vulnerable to WoGs and DoJs. That's one of the checks they have on the power of creature-swarm decks; Wrath and Day are intentionally difficult to work around.

My only recommendation is be ready to bounce back from it. card:Conqueror's Pledge and other tricks like that when coupled with Honor of the Pure make up for the fact you just got DoJ'ed

I hope I don't start a Big argument over this but Brave the Elements doesn't protect from board wipe because the wipe isn't targeting the creature as stated in protection.
Sorry.

Here's what helps me. I play a mono-white weenie Knight Deck at FNM. What stops mass removal for my deck is that you need at least one Knight Exemplar out on the field, if your opponent plays Day of Judgment and you've got nothing, but knights on the field, she's the only one that disappears as the spell resolves, because she's the one protecting them. If you have 2x Knight Exemplars, you're indestructible, that usually locks the game for me, or at least until someone plays a card:Black Sun's Zenith.
