White Heat is a White and Red fast attack deck that combines hordes of low-cost monsters with direct damage spells. Key to success with this deck is to bring out as many creatures as possible early on. Use your creatures and direct damage spells like "Shock" to wear down your opponent and destroy his or her creatures. Get as many creatures as you can onto the table, and make as many unopposed attacks as you can (with several flying and Shadow creatures, this should often be fairly easy). When your opponenent attacks, either gang up on his expensive creatures with several of yours and eliminate them if you can afford it, or sacrifice low mana creatures to block the attacks and keep damage from getting through to you.

White Heat Tokens

Pictured at left is a Pegasus token, as summoned by the "Pegasus Stampede" card in White Heat; SKIRMISHER! givers players permission to copy and print as many of these as are needed for personal use (they'll look better in play than a penny, won't they?). "Pegasus Stampede" is ideal for getting lots of low-cost creatures into play, and as a sorcery with a buyback can be used to summon pegasus tokens when needed to block enemy attacks. As a variant on this deck, try adding two-to-five more lands and two more "Pegasus Stampede" cards. This will allow for even larger hordes of White minions for more flexibility in the defense and an even more crushing final onslaught against your opponent.
