In the past, my biggest problem with playing non-aggressive mono-white decks was the complete lack of card advantage, and while the deck still doesn't have any straightforward card advantage, the addition of Thalia's Lancers alongside Eldrazi Displacer gives the deck a way to not only draw a card but an extremely powerful card, for just three mana in the late game. At almost every slot on the curve, our play will be more powerful than our opponent's plays, and the hope is that the excess power will make up for whatever synergistic advantages our opponent's deck might have. Basically, it seems likely that you can build a very good deck simply by jamming all the best white cards together and planning on out-powering the opponent. Plus, thanks to colorless mana, it's really easy to "splash" for some Eldrazi to fill in the gaps. It also just so happens to have the best removal in all of Standard. White is absolutely overloaded with incredibly powerful standalone threats. A lot of people (understandably) thought I was talking about a Jund-colored list splashing for some white cards. I mentioned "White Jund" on the podcast a couple of weeks ago, which was probably a bad idea. Anyway, let's get to the lists and start with a deck I mentioned on the MTGGoldfish Podcast last week: White Jund! Competitive, Non-Budget Lists White Jund-Standard That said, each deck has at least one thing, at the very least, that makes it worth testing and exploring. I expect that some changes will need to be made as the lists are tested and the metagame takes shape. A word of warning before we get to the decks: the main idea here is to illustrate synergies and ideas, not necessarily to present perfectly tuned lists. The first group includes competitive decks, the second is budget lists, and finally we wrap up with a couple of janky lists that are cool but likely not super competitive. I've arranged the lists into three groups. Some are budget, and some are competitive, but all represent things I'm excited to test out, now that we have some sweet, sweet Eldritch Moon cards. Today, we have eight different decks to look at, mostly for Standard, but a couple for Modern as well. As such, it's time to brew again in Standard! The good news is that Eldritch Moon has finally arrived, and it looks to be one of the most powerful set releases in years. The three big decks-GW Tokens, Wr Humans, and Bant Company (with or without Humans)-have a stranglehold on the format, and many of the cool tribes from Shadows over Innistrad simply don't have enough to complete. The last month or two has been a slow time to be a brewer in Standard.
