I was wondering if anyone has tried this. I don't mean a w/g deck, but really just a white weenie deck that splashes green. With all the new allied color lands that have come out recently you can basically do it without losing white mana sources for your very mana intensive cards and you can just stick to playing gold cards so that they are still powered up by things like honor the pure.

Recently I've felt like my WW deck could use a bit of a boost power-wise and splashing green gives you a lot of really amazing options such as gaddock teeg, knight of the reliquary, dauntless escort, rancor and many others as well. I just got this idea so I'm not really sure what else would be available. I was hoping I could get some input and ideas. Some other solid additions I've thought of would be watchwolf, quasali pridemage and glare of subdual.

While light splash is rather painless, you'd better of splashing another colour than green. White isn't really lacking efficent creatures, what it is lacking is enough good support spells. Red gives removal and reach (best), blue gives counters, and black gives discard and removal.

I remember a friend of mine who is among top Magic players in Finland playing WW/g highlander many years ago, so it is definitely doable. I'd just rather go WW/r.

I've given this much thought, but I still can't figure out the correct color to splash. I am leaning towards black for my different take on the deck (for the demonic, discard and vindicate), but red seems like the best if you go with the more traditional white weenie way. Just burning them out seems like a viable strategy and more removal is never a bad thing for WW.

My only concern with a red or black splash is that its much harder on the manabase. With g/w being allied colors you have access to a bunch of other dual lands. Also, even though green might not offer more reach or removal I still feel like you would be increasing the power level of the deck significantly. I think I'll work on a list and post it later today.
