The White Deck – Gwendal, the Bicorn



It has proven to be difficult identifying the themes of this deck and thus the design will have to evolve.  The deck should win with proactive spells/global effects that greatly hinder ones opponent.  It is very much in test form, as it needs more of a win condition.  I foresee adding token producers with the first update.  I also expect to edit the general as well.
