      probs quicker just do it w/ a blink spell, by the time you can play wanderer you almost have the mana to just cast a fleshgorger. Still a fun idea though, what other creatures would you include? I'm assuming Sanctuary Warden?

      Truth be told, to make that card playable, you need lots of lands. Mono white ctrl, might seem like a 22/23 lands decks, but in reality it is closer to 29/30 with all the cards fetching land. That's why you can play a 6 mana card reliably in that deck.
      I wouldn't put it in an azorius ctrl deck, for example.

    I'm running a similar list right now, but with less creatures and more of a control package (Depopulate, Banishing Slash, Soul Partition, Farewell). Mirrex in the mana base has been surprisingly strong, especially when you have one or two Wedding Announcements flipped. It's a recurring threat and offers an additional wincon with poison if the game goes long

    I was playing the orzhov pile in game 2, was looking forward to a grind-fest that I would eventually lose as the deck is skewed towards beating aggro, but missed too much land. Also no farewell in the deck as I was playing more of a token build, trying out 1 copy of the glory dominus with announcement and Sorin. But lay down arms shuts down that plan. Vraska and White Sun's Twilight being the other potential win cons.

      Yeah, the card alone just looks really strong. It's costly at 6 mana, but in a deck all about lasting that long once it's down it looks like it's hell to actually get rid of. -4 to clear their board of anything worthwhile while keeping something strong yourself, then anything they'd want to actually swing at her with you can just really easily chump block if you need to, or toss one of them /nasty/ samurai in front of it for an effective 4 power against the majority of the creatures in the game thanks to double strike, or if they have something real big just keep exiling it with that +1. Or use it to trigger enter the battlefield effects repeatedly, or just remove a token entirely.
      She provides a lot of potential value to you while being hard for the enemy to remove.

  • @windinthewillow1871
    @windinthewillow1871 Рік тому +2

    I play this deck a lot and I like cathar commando infinitely more than Loran. It's three power and two mana, so it can crew the bankbuster and be retrieved by Restoration of Eiganjo. Other than that, it can do basically the same thing Loran can by destroying enchantments but it has flash, so in a bind you can use it as a combat trick.

    • @nathanmcwhirter6239
      @nathanmcwhirter6239 Рік тому +1

      Fair point about crewing and retrieving with Eiganjo but Commando doesn’t combo with Eternal Wanderer like Loran does and also remains a body on the field after etb effect.

  • @Danorii
    @Danorii Рік тому

    I've been playing this deck a ton and I was finding that its just a bit too slow for mono-red / soldiers with the decklist presented in the video. The change I made to compensate for this was to remove 2 eternal wanderers and one wandering emperor and add 3 cathar commandos. Great include because you can flash crew a bankbuster to block early aggro unexpectedly, and the added artifact / enchantment removal is great. Also has synergies with restoration and paragon. I love the eternal wanderer though, it is definitely a win con if the opponent cant remove it or a great answer to a poor board state. I may play around with other variants, but so far this iteration has got me to diamond! :D

    Some other cards for the deck that I like are the Spirited Companion which counts as another Enchantment (which is great against Invoke Despair) and pads your 2-drop slot more and the underrated Blast Zone. Blast Zone can often take out 2-3 permanents on a board as a lot of opponents forget about it and both Grixis and White Midrange have a cluster of 2-3 mana permanents.

    • @Icameron259
      @Icameron259 Рік тому +3

      In fairness a lot of the draw is colourless, but white card interact well with it. My poison control deck has a higher card advantage ceiling than this deck because of enormous Silver Scrutinies after Mindsplice has a bunch of counters, but because there's no good "you have no maximum handsize" effect I have to just discard a lot of it.

    • @EnigmaticTwister
      @EnigmaticTwister Рік тому +2

      yeah, this is probably one of the most annoying decks in standard right now because it has high card quality and efficient removal, on top of a solid brick of card advantage.

    • @ChaosForce08
      @ChaosForce08 Рік тому +1

      Any deck that has actual draw spells can outdraw this deck, especially if you remove the cards generating the value (the walkers, Bankbuster, Wedding Announcement). Personally, I think decks that use permanent-based card advantage that take time to accrue value are healthier as you can interact with them before they gain a ton of value unlike pure draw spells which can generally only be discarded or countered.

    • @EnigmaticTwister
      @EnigmaticTwister Рік тому

      @@ChaosForce08 It's not just about card draw, it's card advantage. Sure, Draw is a big part of that, but the deck has a good amount of recursion as well. Not to mention that most decks don't run the right kind of removal. The only deck that has the right kind and number of spells that interact with mono white's stuff is... Mono white. Black and red can't really kill announcements (invoke doesn't really count since it doesn't target), and they also don't have efficent and flexible removal for planeswalkers. And lot of the decks play Paragon and Restoration, both of which get cards back from the graveyard. Green has tear asunder and Cankerbloom, blue can maybe bounce them, but that just resets them most of the time. White has all the pieces to deal with itself. Destroy Evil can kill things like transformed trespassers and sheoldreds, but can also blow up fables and announcements. Ossification is just better then any other removal spell at it's mana cost.
      TL;DR it's Card advantage, not card draw. Stack that with amazing card quality and you get a super annoying deck

    • @ChaosForce08
      @ChaosForce08 Рік тому +2

      @@EnigmaticTwister The OP was originally talking about card draw ("complaining about White not having enough card draw") and the only White card that draws cards in the deck is Wedding Announcement on a condition.
      While your analysis is mostly correct (hence why I play Mono-W), there are some glaring holes in such as saying that Black doesn't have efficient and flexible removal for walkers (it has the best PW removal in Edict, Soul Transfer and Invoke Despair). Blue's best interaction is bounce and not counterspells which interact favorably with a deck trying to cast 4+ mana spells that aren't The Wandering Emperor (and is one of the primary reasons to run Blue outside of Raffine and Corpse Appraiser). Ossification is not the best removal spell at its mana cost as you're risking giving back the card if your opponent has Enchantment removal unless you exile a token. It's also sorcery speed which can be problematic regarding counterspells/tempo.
      What White does have is a completely untapped manabase, the best token generation (outside of Fable) which lines up the best against Black (the other color with high card quality), and good enough removal spells that cover the bases that it needs to cover. It has a high % of exiling removal, the best 1-mana removal spell, and Loran as one of the best (now competing with Cankerbloom) disenchants in the format, but still struggles to remove creatures on command like Grixis/Raxdos can.
      A non-blue deck can compete in the lategame is not very common in any format let alone a deck playing such an honest game plan as Mono-W. The only card a could see being "annoying" in the deck is The Wandering Emperor because of the Flash ability, so I don't really understand the complaint except for salty Blue-Control players that just want to play draw-go (speaking as someone who's played Blue Control in multiple Standard formats).

    @OsvaldoChannel1 Рік тому

    I think the main reason MonoW is so good it's because it can never flood or screw. It has a lot of card draw and value cards while also running fewer lands than the other midrange decks, but also never misses a land drop because they can search lands.
    In a midrange mirror (which is every game) where you have to either remove every threat or play threats constantly, being able to never flood or screw is key.

    • @ChaosForce08
      @ChaosForce08 Рік тому

      Mana consistency (in mono-color, nontappedness, and land search) is nice and underrated, but I think it's the token generation + Lay Down Arms that really puts it in contention with the 3 color decks. With the 1-for-1 removal and Invoke Despair being so good, having the best token generation neuters it, while Bankbuster is not too hard to use in combat while also keeping the gas coming and Lay Down Arms helps you with tempo.

    It's a good thing The Eternal Wanderer got printed... Makes monowhite and UW decks less wholly reliant on Farewell to have a chance against non-aggro decks. Farewell is still kind of carrying control on its friggin' back, but it's not as bad as it was at least, and this deck shows how monowhite control isn't a gimmick or "just worse" than UW control.
