I recently posted saying I wanted to see some cool b/w decks. and well, I found some. but I wanted to try and make my own. My play group is pretty competitive.
consider tidehollow sculler, its a target of edge of the divinity and it has a bit of a control aspect to it. I'm sure it would this deck good.
I think you mean castigate, but I agree. It's pretty good.
Edit:Ohhhhh, you meant it goes well with edge. I thought you meant it is edge with a body. silly me. But still, it's a very good idea. So thanks
Also, should I put more life gain/lifelink creatures in? Having Divinity Of Pride be an 8/8 when it drops would be so helpful.
Tidehollow Sculler over Castigate, which is yet another target for Edge of Divinity. While it doesn't permanently remove the card, its a solid body that becomes a legitimate threat with EoD or the Liege.
My gut says you need Mortify, but I'm not sure what to take out for it. Maybe Souls of the Faultless? Hard to say.
Last thing, you should really find room for SOME card draw. If its multi-player Syphon Mind, otherwise Phyrexian Arena or Night's Whisper. Its worth the 'pay life for cards' even though it seems counter-intuitive with the Divinity, as you stand a better chance of drawing into more lifegain.
Before you jump on me for a non BW creature hear me out. Knight is a good choice over Mr Faultless because it is aggro, this deck itself is aggro oriented, Lifelink is just the icing on the cake. It has first strike for survivability and lifelink to boot. It is also a solid 2/2 body for 2 cmc. If you have faultless out all it does is provide you with life and it cannot attack so it doesn't have a threat feel to it
I wasn't going to jump on you for that. It's a great idea
I think the little of amount removal I have is enough for multiplayer considering there will be other removal everywhere, and during 1v1, I have enough discard where I shouldn't have to worry much about removal.
Mourning Thrull would be better than Knight of Meadowgrain in this deck; it has evasion on top and again goes well with your pump enchantment. I would play it over Souls of the Faultless, though the wall can be good if your multiplayer meta has a lot of ground aggro.
Primary and only casual rule: "any rule that is fine for the most part of the playgroup, is a fine rule". So any further thread with: "if somebody uses/does .... in a casual game, is it ethical/ok?", read the answer above.
- Being a "Johnny/Spike" means you like self-torture. You win often in casual, so everybody hates you; you loose often in competitive, so you hate yourself.
Is there a reason you're not playing Mortify? I understand not playing Vindicate because of the $$$ but most self-respecting B/W decks should play Mortify in my opinion.
Also, depending on how aggro you want this deck to be, I'll second Phyrexian Arena as a good card especially considering the lifegain B/W tends to grant.
If your willing to shell out like $6 to $8 a single copy of Land Tax will make this deck like a million times better in multiplayer, it's one of the strongest multiplayer cards if you play it on your first turn. Also it's a card you will want to put in all of your white decks anyways so its a very good investment.

My meta needs walls. it's almost a given in my playgroup that you have them if you don't have aggro. And besides, I need all the reasons not to attack me in my group. People see me as a threat, so I'm usually attacked first >.<

I just used O Rings instead because of the planeswalkers. I will eventually shell out the cash for vindicate so it's only temp. I hope...

I really like not needing fetch lands, and I'm pretty sure i'll be well enough off as is. Especially with an addition of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in the slot of a swamp. If I can get one. Idk yet, they are kinda $$$ as well.
I'm not sure about land tax. Not because of it's $ but because of it's use. it will be pretty useless in no amount of time. At least, I don't see a reason for it in this deck. I know it's an awesome card in some ways, and especially in edh, but i just can't justify it enough to remove a card already in a slot right now.

So I dropped the discard for the multiplayer. Figured it would be good to have both options. Mp and 1v1.
merged. you may edit this post to update the list.

I woud try to find a way to add Gerrard's Verdict to the deck to give you a stronger discard base.

Vindicate is such a nice card, but it's $$ Gerrard's is awesome though Thanks for the idea.

Also, I'd really way rather have four Evolving Wilds than four Tainted Field anyday.

Wouldn't it make more sense to run tainted field along with Tomb of Yawgmoth so that you can still access white mana without plains?
I don't know....
Will be back to edit later, have to go to school.

My meta needs walls. it's almost a given in my playgroup that you have them if you don't have aggro. And besides, I need all the reasons not to attack me in my group. People see me as a threat, so I'm usually attacked first >.<
I was thinking about this card when I first made the deck, but it lost out to other cards. If anything, I'd add Mourning Thrull.

I agree with what you said about it making more sense to run them together. and I will if I get one.
I was thinking about taking out a single swamp for a copy of ALL YO LANDS ARE SWAMP. It's just kinda $$$ so I'm not sure yet.
