you realize at least one of those is only a 'white deck' because it plays a 1WW enchantment and a bunch of colorless dudes? oh and there arent titans available in that format either.

They all play hero of bladehold and dispatch as well. Some play glint hawk, others play white spell bomb and glint hawk idol. I personally like running mirran crusader as well. Fairly sure that many cards qualify as being white. I'm not sure what titan has to do w/ white weenie. I'd mention things like day of judgement instead of titans...

That aside, he does play well with Sun Titan, considering it's going to draw removal like no other.

considering we're talking about an M12 card and such. They might even be current standard decks w/ bannings and all.

Those are bad future standard decks. Like he said, WW is bad in standard. The best WW deck would be quest and it is better as green/white.

That's not true, I have a T2 white weenie equipment deck and it does pretty good thanks to the swords,Kor Duelist, and Auriok Edgewright. I've also got holy relic, and dispatch. The highest CMC in it is 3. So white weenie is still very playable in standard.

'doing pretty good' at FNM doesn't mean anything.

White weenie has been viable in the past. Will it be viable in the future? Possibly. The pieces are there, it just needs the proper support cards. Artifact-flavored Tempered Steel WW will be taking a hit from Steel Overseer disappearing from M12, but we'll see what happens. But yes, WW has been viable before, I distinctly recall Kithkin cleaning up in late april/may the year Shadowmoor was printed. Mirrorweave pushed it over the top.

For 3 months or so, we'll have four 1-casting cost "Draw 1" cards. Start with 4x Ponder, 4x Preordain, 4x Gitaxian Probe, 4x Visions of Beyond... you're essentially starting with a 44 card deck, and a LOT of strong digging spells in Ponder and Preordain.

The point the OP was making was that it was viable in Mirage/Tempest block Type 2 and hasn't been since.

This is pretty much what I was alluding to, aside from the appearance around Lorwyn. White Weenie sucks.

I think a majority of players miss out on the point of reprints and blindly accuse wotc of it being just a blatant cash-grab. While some releases are (elspeth v. tezzeret), some of these reprints are even player driven (from the vaults).

The whole reason why WOTC wanted a new format was 1.Ext is dead, 2. People are complaining about the high costs to get involved with Legacy. Since Legacy is easily the most popular format right now(Id' bet), and WOTC can't really control prices for people to play, the next best thing would be a new format that is almost like Legacy for the most part. With a new format that isn't really restricted by the reprint policy they can do whatever they want. Could you imagine the sales of a set with Tarmogoyf in it again? How about Dark Confidant? Or re-print the ShockDuals over a block again? Yes, it's called the quest for more money, and Modern is that quest.

Congratulations professor, you've stumbled upon the truly staggering discovery that companies exist to turn a profit!

I'm really getting sick of people ragging on wizards for being profit-oriented when that's the whole ****ing point of their enterprise. And hey, guess what? If magic isn't deemed profitable enough to keep around, hasbro will have it cancelled before you can say "black lotus". And then the precious secondary market is gone. So I for one am completely fine with wizards trying to compete for my dollar, because it keeps the game I love alive.

Yes, it's fun to go back to the bull**** standby of "those money-grubbers", but the world isn't that simple. In case it wasn't already obvious, not all of this rant is directed specifically at daner.
