1) netdeck something that will win
2) try and think of something creative and nostalgic that will lose
Obviously I went with #2. I wanted to return to the glory days of the finest magic card to ever see print.
Ahhh, so good. How does banding and flying work on defense? What happens when it bands with a first-striker again? Let's argue about it until we run out of time during the lunch period. So let's build a white weenie deck!
The core of a white weenie deck is the one-drops. As many one-drops as you can pile in. Searching through gatherer, the following jumped out at me.
That's actually a pretty good spread of one-drops. Elite Vanguard being rare-shifted to common in Eternal Masters is a nice pick-me-up. Ditto for the Pegasus, though it's not a one-drop you want to cast on turn 1, since it won't be able to start attacking in turn two.
Looking for other tasty knights and soldiers to turn on the falcon.
Some fun overlapping synergies. The overpoweredness of the Topan Freeblade is well documented; not often you get rareshifted up to uncommon in a Masters set. The Loyal Cathar is a nice 2-drop that they will have to kill twice. The Legionnaire packs a considerable punch at two mana (I will pay the life 100% of the time).
From here, there are a couple of different ways to go. There's doubling down on Soldier synergies
There is trying to abuse some bounce synergies
For my first draft, I went with keeping the curve as low as humanly possible, so the artifact one-drops seemed like the best fit. Ladies and gentlefolk, I give you the Tiny Tims!
