Mono White Agro [Shell]

[TheCramp]

(No seriously you would splash green for goyf and pridemage...)

It occurred to me that you can cast Honor of the Pure with a plains and a wasteland/city of traitors/ancient tomb.

the shell:

City of Traitors x4
Ancient Tomb X4
Chrome Mox x3
Kjeldoran Outpost x1(?)

CotV x4
Jitte x2

Elspeth x3
Ajaini Goldmane x2-3
Spectral Procession x4
Honor the Pure x4
Decree of Justice x3

This could be supplemented by Smokestax, 3sphere, 'geddon, etc or more stompy critters and equipment. Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I realize this treads on ground that about 16 developed decks already operate from.

Sounds interesting as an alternative to White Stax (which is not really stax).

Leyline of the Meek and Promise of Bunrei look interesting too. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the pumpers are useless without the tokens.

Ps: and trinisphere looks absolutely needed to fight against EE (even if it's less and less popular).

[Maveric78f]

After some test, I found the concept promising. I directed the deck into a "humble stompy". 4*humility MD is unfair.

The list I've used.


// Lands
3 [SHM] Plains (2)
4 [EX] City of Traitors
4 [TE] Ancient Tomb
3 [TSP] Flagstones of Trokair
4 [ON] Windswept Heath
2 [U] Savannah

// Creatures
4 [ALA] Elspeth, Knight-Errant

// Spells
3 [DS] Trinisphere
4 [TE] Humility
3 [RAV] Seed Spark
3 [BOK] Umezawa's Jitte
3 [M10] Honor of the Pure
4 [GP] Leyline of the Meek
4 [MR] Raise the Alarm
4 [SHM] Spectral Procession
4 [MR] Chalice of the Void
4 [MR] Chrome Mox

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [DS] Trinisphere
SB: 1 [LRW] Burrenton Forge-Tender
SB: 1 [TSP] Krosan Grip
SB: 2 [ALA] Relic of Progenitus
SB: 1 [CH] Tormod's Crypt
SB: 2 [8E] Choke
SB: 3 [SOK] Promise of Bunrei
SB: 2 [P3] Ravages of War
SB: 2 [A] Armageddon

Promise of bunrei used to be MD but it was weak in too many occasions (mainly when we had no token into play). Honor the pure looks like the week card in the pile. I tried decree too, but it seemed too expensive in this deck. Sometimes I wonder if more equipment/token cards would be better.

[TheCramp]

I like humility main, seems perfect. I thought about Promise of bunrei as well, but it makes colorless tokens, which fails with honor, which might not make the cut anyway.

Kheldoran Outpost would be a natural fit into the theme of the deck. Too bad that it probably wouldn't run enough Plains to support it.

I recently tested a version of White Chalice Aggro with creatures like Aven Mindcensor and Exalted Angel. The only token generator I had was Elspeth and my only observation about the deck is that it was absolutely terrible. It was not a tuned list, but I didn't find anything compelling about playing such a strategy.

I used to test a white stompy with moat*4, on an orignal idea of phantom. I did not like it at all me neither. This "humble" version looks more promising to me because it's more aggro and more disruptive. Humility is as defensive if not more as moat in a deck with that many token generators. In addition to that it has an in-built protection since it shuts down most enchantment answers, such as qasali and trygon, but also the survival toolbox, even if it does prevent it from playing 2 1/1 each turn, which can be problematic. It also prevents massive CA through confidant or lavamancer.

The big dilemma of the deck right now is too decide if I need honor of the pure. I can't make my mind. I definitely need more testing.
