I've been toying with the same idea, since I love W.  I have a
Mi/Vi/Wl tournament next week, and just cant decide between WW, GW,
GR, or maybe even G/W/r.
All I know is I wont play U or B.  Besides I dont expect to see much
U, since it is usually splashed for counters, of which there are not
too many good ones in this format.

As for WW, I thought something like the following:

4 Freewind falcons
4 Duskrider Falcons
4 Longbow Archers
4 Infantry Veteran
2 Zhalfirin Crusader
3 Benalish Knights
1 Sacred Mesa
1 Disenchant
3 Serra's Blessing
4 Empyrial Armor
2 Bubble Matrix
2 Pacifism
1 Afterlife
3 Abeyance
23 Plains

61 cards.

Sideboard, 
4 Honourable Passage
4 Shadowbane
3 Disenchant
???

Maybe use Tithe? Mtenda Herders? Less veterans? (they are nice
anti-skulking ghost/tar pits)
Plus, I'd like to get room for some enlightened tutors in main deck,
along with an hounourable passage or two.

Analyses:  I expect a lot of mono-B, mono-R, and B/R. This deck seems
to deal with those OK.  It does great against green once my weenies
can block their big ones and Bubble Matrix is out. My fliers then
hopefully kill green..

What do you all think?
