Theme and Goals

A mono-white anti-vampire deck for casual play, built on cards I already have. This is purely a response to a kitchen table B/R or B/r vampire deck my son mentioned having made and wanting to try out. The ideas I focused on in creating the list were:
Specialized Anti-Vampire Cards:
- Midnight Duelist
- Defang [Largely for the flavor]
- Wooden Stake
- Blazing Torch
Protection From Black / Red:
- White Knight
- Order of Leitbur
- Order of the White Shield
- Prismatic Ward
- Some of the cards in my Maybe Board
Anti-Black Cards:
- Karma
- Angry Mob
Ability To Deal With Flyers (minor goal):
- Nimbus Wings
Life Gain (minor goal):
- Blind Obedience
- Fiendslayer Paladin

Thoughts and Plans

I don't have Undead Slayer , Elite Inquisitor or Slayer of the Wicked or I'd have definitely included them.
I have only 1 each of the following:
- Angry Mob
- Fiendslayer Paladin
- Heliod, God of the Sun
- Blazing Torch
For Blind Obedience, 2 seemed a good number. They don't really stack that much, so drawing multiples isn't sufficiently helpful.
Color hosers like Karma can be viewed as kind of mean in casual play, but I'm going for that initial reaction here. I may swap a couple of them out later if I keep the deck intact after the first few games.
This deck is heavy on enchantments because black and red (the vampire colors) are not good at dealing with them.
This deck may be a little too light on creatures, especially larger ones.
I have several options for dealing with flyers. [See the Maybe Board.] I lean toward Nimbus Wings / Call To Serve and Spidersilk Net. The former are harder for B/R to deal with, and the latter sticks around for later use if the creature it is on dies.
Gave less weight to things like Intimidate and Deathtouch when choosing options, since I have Wooden Stake and a lot of color protedtion stuff. This deck is aimed solely at vampires.
The manna curve is weird. Too few at CMC1. Too many at CMC 2. I might be able to get away with 1 or 2 fewer lands. [EDIT: I swapped out 4 Plains after saying that. (Version 1.1) It seems to work without them.]
Love that flavor text on Repentant Blacksmith .
