Amongst existing and well performing archetypes in the current Standard Pauper Format, White seems clearly favored by the gods.
Needless to say, "White Weenie Enchantments" shall take advantage of this new set like no other color or archetype, at least is that my opinion. So what "gems" are to be found in the WW Standard Pauper decklists when the new set is available online?
- Some say it's a superior version of War Falcon. I tend to disagree.
War Falcon could attack on turn 2 if you played a Soldier or Knight on turn 2. As a turn one option, Loyal Pegasus won't attack on turn 2 unless you play a creature with haste. There are none in white commons currently. Still 2 points in the air are good for one mana. So it may see some play. Interesting is the fact that on the art, that Pegasus seems to be waiting for a rider so it can attack or block.
- Here is Wingsteed Rider's young brother ! He could fit a Boros build as well. A good turn 2 threat with flying evasion, just cast a Nyxborn Shieldmate on him on turn 3 and you get a big Skyguard ready for the swing and more pump. Another top target for your beloved Ethereal Armor. Great art by the way ! He's a flying soldier, remember that if you like Tribal decks. Tribal Standard Pauper, may be an idea for a special event.

- I do love that art, it's great !
Here's the lowest bestow cost amongst white enchantment creatures so far. Just a 1/2 boost, but it does trigger Heroic for 3 manas. And it also boosts Ethereal Armor, so I guess it may see play. He's also a soldier, keep that in mind if you like tribal deckbuilding.
- More Lifegain options for WW, as if Hopeful Eidolon was not enough ! Inspired is a great mechanic. But what if that cat can't attack ? You may combo him with Ephara's radiance and go for 5 health points each turn?! 
- Griffin Dreamfinder is a flying 1/4 Auramancer. "He's bad" !!!
He can be, considering most WW creatures top at a casting cost of 3 manas. He's too expansive, is out of the curve. But if played as a one or two of's, he may bring WW more reach on the late game and even sometimes win out of nowhere. He's a good flying blocker, I will be one of those giving him a try.- This excellent card is a reprint from Scars of Mirrodin.
Disenchant at sorcery speed but the upside is that the artefact or enchantment is simply exiled ! In an environment like Theros Block, it's pretty handy ! Tired of Ethereal Armor or Razortip Whip, Stab Wound, even all those Bestow cards ?
What will be your choice, mainboard or sideboard ?
This reprint comes back with an amazingly good art and a really nice and hopeful flavor text.
Dedicated to all you philosophy adepts.
So here are the common white cards that caught my eyes in the Born of the Gods Visual spoiler.
Will they improve the White Weenie Enchantment archetype ?
Did I miss any other promising gem ? Just let me know in the comments !
