I've sent you this deck
multiple times but yet no response, it probably won't
work this time but mine as well try anyways. I play an
aggressive Type II Black/White deck. Take a look.
The Mother Load Deck
CREATURES
3x Desolation Angel
3x Serra Angel
3x Phyrexian Scuta
2x Plague Spitter
SPELLS
3x Phyrexian Arena
3x Death Grasp
2x Wrath of God
1x Spreading Plague
4x Life/Death
4x Dega Sanctuary
4x Gerrard's Verdict
4x Skull Fracture
4x Soul Link
LANDS
10x Swamp
10x Plains
Well I have a couple
combos that work quite well, the life gain is great and
the deck works pretty good, I've placed quite good in
the last few tournaments so I was happy. I guess the
only problem would be the lack of speed please take a
look thanx.

OK Richie, lets see what we can do to increase this
decks performance.
First of all, I'd love just once to have a deck sent to
me with the correct amount of mana. With all the
expensive spells in the deck like Desolation Angel,
Serra, and Deaths Grasp 20 Lands ain't even CLOSE to
enough!! Caves of Koilos should be the first thing
you should start trading for, all the Gold and mana-intensive
spells will be easier to cast with this Apocalypse pain
land. Also, since the deck could use some
acceleration I'd add some Black and White diamonds to
the deck. Note these will help you recover much
faster than the opponent after a kicked Desolation
Angel.
Also, as a rule, creature enchantments suck.
I'm wondering why Life/Death is on your decklist. I'd
tryout Night/Day since it can deal with the opponents
Elves and Birds and later can pump all your fatties.
Holy Cow... where's Duress? It's only the most
broken card black has currently in Standard. Another
card you'll want to put high on your trade-for list is
Vindicate. This under-costed spell allows you to
deal with ANY threat on the board.
Here's a rough version of Richie's deck after my
suggestions:
4 Plague Spitters
4 Serra Angels
3 Desolation Angels
4 Duress
4 Gerrards Verdict
4 Vindicate
3 Death's Grasp
2 Wrath of God
2 Night/Day
3 Charcoal Diamonds
3 Marble Diamonds
4 Caves of Koilos
10 Swamps
10 Plains
While still not Tier one, the deck should perform much
more efficiently now with a better mana base. Busting
out fatties and following up with a 'Geddon effect at a
relatively early point in the game can make for some
hilarious games (as well as brutal)!
Hope this helps... have fun!
