Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

First attempt based solely on cards I own. Attempting a White life gain deck balanced with high & low mana cost. I want a white deck that DOESN'T suck. Brand new to the game, so ALL feedback is welcomed! **UPDATED based on comments** Planning on using sideboard full 15 for banishing.

Deck discussion for LXX_*Updated*

You're going to want to thin this deck down to 60, because it becomes more consistant and you can get the card you need more often.

You're mana curve is alright, but normally you want to have a higher number of low end mana cost cards, because you can play them at any point in the game. A high mana cost card can, usually, only be played near the end.

The fact that you didn't just smash a bunch of single cards together is great. You usually don't want to have single cards in the deck unless you have a way to pull them from you're deck an into you're hand or battlefield.

Here's how I would edit this deck:
I would sideboard the angel's feather and increase the number of them to 3,
Do the same for divine offering. They're very conditional, yes angel's feather gives you 1 life whenever you cast a white spell, but that really isn't much.

Instead of angelic wall, use wall of reverance.
Get rid of fiend hunter, he doesn't flow with the deck.
Remove cathedral sanctifier, use soul warden instead.
Get rid of sejiri refuge, it comes in tapped which will slow you down.
Remove pride guardian, put in ajani's pridemates instead. (This combos extremely well with wall of reverance.)

Here's some other cards to consider:
Ajani's mantra
Felidar sovereign
Boon reflection

I really appreciate the tips. I don't have the card vocabulary, so I'm mainly just working on theory. The specific card tips (adds and drops) help so that I can focus in and just pick up specific cards for play. The quantities represented are all I have currently, so I should be able to augment and add more in the next week. Also, Felidar Sovereign and Boon Reflection are both sexy. Gotta go find em on Eeeeeeeeeee-bay.

It looks much better. Now you just need to work on your side board.

A side board can have up to 15 cards, which you can "side in" that is to say exchange cards from your sideboard with cards in your main deck. The point of it is to cover a weakness that your deck may have when its running in its best form. So if someone was playing a deck based around this weakness, you can try to cover that weakness. The cards in the side board should still follow the same game mechanic (yours being life gain) as the rest of your deck.

May I suggest for your side board,
Serra ascendant
Other 1 cost creatures
Some type of control spell. (A spell that will help you control the opponents field- oblivion ring is an example of thus)

Oh and also maybe add in an Ajani Goldmane or wait for the new one to come out.
