White Heat is a variant on the white "weenie" deck, chock full of cheap
white creatures but
supported by plenty of red-hot direct damage.
Groundbreaker is a classic land-destruction deck, with added creature removal
to take on
low-mana, fast horde decks.
Widowmaker takes full advantage of powerful card-drawing effects while
letting you
strengthen your forces by discarding what you don't need.
Dominator is a blue deck of a different stripe, one that sets up for victory
using plenty of
creatures.
Each of the four decks has a basic form, using only cards from the Tempest,
Stronghold, and
Exodus expansions. Each also has an advanced version that is more suited
to the intense
competition of tournaments. These make use of powerful cards from various
in-print sets to
make each deck even more effective.
