    Default Best style for a warblade?

    How should a warblade be equipped for maximum efficiency? TWF, two handed, sword and board? I'm asking cause I just got ToB fever (pretty common and relatively benign disease, but it can make you unhappy if the dm does'nt allow it). My questions links with maneuvers, as from what i understand most diciplines require standard actions to use, so TWF would be a bit useless right? Of course I may be totally wrong, thats why I ask.

    To curate my brilliance and wit, of course. Any other use is a waste.

    TWF + Tiger Claw discipline = TWF goodness.

    The best style depends on which disciplines you plan on using. Look at the favored weapons of your main discipline, and go from there.
    Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

    Given that a Warblade can shift his weapon related feats, any style works.
    A silent knight is better than a holey knight.

    Two-handed at the beginning. You can be very good with TWF later, especially if you dip a level or two of Swordsage, since you can pick up the Stormguard Warrior tactical feat.

    Any style; Nine Swords make Sword-and-board decent, since
    1) you can use the extra AC, especially as a Warblade
    2) If a maneuver is worth sacrificing your iterative attacks for, it's worth sacrificing the extra damage you get for using a two-hander.

    TWF gets you lots of attacks, which is great with Stormguard Warrior, since it does damage proportionate to the square of your attacks/round. THF gets you a lot of damage for the times you make only one attack/round (using a strike). S&B gets you a good armor class at the expense of a bit of damage over THF.
    Last projects, from years back: Lesser Disciplines (Tome of Battle). Also, Never Behind the Curve (multiclassing).

    Some of my current work is under the name IGTN on D&D Wiki
