Yahoo! we finally had been able to buy the card components to complete our Red White deck. A big thanks to Nong Lori for selling to us his Rugged Prairies and Ajani Vengeant, as well as Jace Beleren for our Faeries deck. Now our next stop would be looking for the perfect build of the R/W deck. We were thinking if we would go with the Aggro based list, popularly known as Vengeant Weenie, or go with the control version, known as the recent Boat Brew.I was looking at different sites for the deck list, including the results from States and at the recent World championships and here are my choices (although I really want to create my own list, its preferable to use the tried and tested versions).

The first list of Vengeant Weenie way back in October. I like it for more burn it had on the list, which makes it more like RDW.

This is the list that got an impressive undefeated record at Standards in Day One of the Worlds Championship, thinking of it as a high level tournament. Based on the list, we can actually construct it lacking only of Wrath of God. I'm sure I can borrow from my fellow players but that would reveal the deck I will use on the tournament. Lol.
We'll see if which decklist I will decide to follow and build for this Friday's tourney. Till next time. :)

intereseting deck. seems like you're torn between "token.dec" and "kithkin.dec". i don't think ajani vengeant is all that great. i'd run elspeth over ajani. lightening helix is awesome but for 4 mana?
forge tender should just be a SB card. pull all four out unless you play a RDW (then put all four in). put in the 3 stillmoon cavaliers (?).
did you see the token.dec breakdown by flores on youtube? great breakdown and you prob have most of the cards for it.
Yes, a lightning helix for an overcosted mana but my excitement for using him is much greater hehe. I think i'll just go with the token version because of the good matchup against fae and rdw but i'll make it more aggressive and add more burn. I'm an RDW player at heart you know. :)

Ajani Vengeant is my favorite card for this set. i think it's not bad for a helix in 4cc coz if it is in play, its a helix back in back. what can you ask for? his tech is not to aim for -7. all you need to do is defend him eg: helix, tap, tap, helix.. but if your confident in going for his ultimate its GG. this card is freakin cool i tell you. =)
Hey thanks for the tips alex. I like your list and I think Ajani V would definitely be a play set of four in there. I'll come up with the final list tomorrow if my friend Esteed can return those Siege gangs he borrowed. hehe... :)
