Fun mono white deck I came up with a few days ago. I've already been able to play test it against mono green and red/white/blue control and it did very well. Only had problems dealing with Stormbreath Dragon.
This deck has been viewed 2,456 times.
Would love to hear any suggestions and ideas for improvements..

Could include dauntless onslaught.. Only useful when you have 2 creatures out, but sets off 2 heroic abilities.. Just a thought..Brave the elements is a nice spell, but I just question whether it is a good fit in this deck as it does not target... Prob good vs n0n-creature heavy.I quite like last breath.. purely because you can target your own heroic creature to power it up from 2/2, then the exile part fizzles as it becomes 3/3 (due to heroic), but you still gain 4 life. Or can just be used in the normal way vs opponent. It's not really good enough for the deck though.. Can't imagine having issues with power 2 creatures..I really like mortal's ardor/swift justice.. Would prob SB at least, then against creature heavy use instead of brave the elements...This deck is all about getting counters on the heroic dudes, and making them hard. I think you should broaden it out, possibly including vanguard of brimaz, and brimaz... Its a bit of a change in direction, but ultimateIy think works much better with Phalanx Leader..Nice deck though, gets a like from me :)
Last Breath checks its target upon casting and upon resolution. If the target is illegal upon resolution, the whole spell is countered. Its controller won't gain life.I would instead suggest Ethereal Armor. Even if you have no other enchantments on the board, +1/+1 and first strike is still decent at one mana. Holy Mantle is also decent, as it makes them unblockable but also can lock down massive creatures like Arbor Colossus and Polukranos.
Brave the Elements is GREAT in this deck, as it lets you play more aggressively. Give all your dudes protection from whatever the other players' creatures are and make them unblockable. Also helps keep your dudes alive against some annoying spot removal. Sucks if someone doomblades your heroic double-striker you just bestowed with a Hopeful Eidolon or something.
Ethereal Armor!
Couldn't agree more!
I have a very similar bant heroic deck and ethereal armor is a must have, also you might want to add Favored hoplite for a cheap heroic dude. Take a look at my deck if you want, i playtested yours and mine seams a bit faster with the extra color range. Oh i almost forgot ordeal of heliod is a must have in heroic decks it works wonders.
I think everyone above me is absolutely correct in saying you NEED ordeal of heliod and ethereal armor. i Would take out the hopeful eidolons for the ethereal armors. Also, i would take out one ghostblade eidolon, and two brave the elements for three ordeal of heliods. Thats just my two cent.
Ditch the Ghostblade Eidolon for Ethereal Armor and I think you'll be onto something! Also, they're expensive, but Brimaz would work very well here too since it has great synergy with the Eidolon of Countless battles and is a really huge threat.
I personally really dislike Ghostblade, Just to darn expensive.would replace all of them with Dauntless Onslaught.
Thanks for all the comments guys, I didn't play this at FNM last night but I was able to play test it against more decks in between rounds and it did do fairly well. I definitely am replacing the ghost blade eidolons with ethereal armor. As for the comments about Brave the Elements, it won me multiple games by making all of their creatures useless as i swung for lethal. And Acolyte's Reward saved me against a monstrous Stormbreath Dragon. I'm thinking of adding in either Favored Hoplite, Boros Elite or Soldier of the Pantheon.
Took out the Ghostblade Eidolons, Phalanx Leaders and Hopeful Eidolons and put in 4 Favored Hoplite, 3 Nyxborn Shieldmate, 3 Ethereal Armor and 1 Ajani.
FYI, Acolyte's Reward should not have saved you from a Monstrous Stormbreath because Acolyte's only prevents damage to creatures.
I meant Acolyte's Reward saved me against his monstrous Dragon, not the actual ability when he made him monstrous. My devotion was 8 atm and I prevented the 7 from the Dragon and hit him for 8 to the dome.
So what creature were you using to block the Stormbreath so that you could even prevent damage? It has protection from white, so I'm still not sure how you could ever use Acolyte's reward against a Stormbreath with this deck since all of your creatures are white and cannot block the Stormbreath. Also, unless you were using the Angels in your sideboard, none of your creatures even have flying... Celestial Flare, which is already in your sideboard, is really one of the few things that can deal with a Stormbreath in a mono-white deck.
You're right man, probably was something both of us had missed since it was just filler game we were playing.
I would drop the 4 Brave and the 2 Spears and put in a 4th Ethereal Armor, another Heliod God, 3 Soul Tithe, and another Nyxborn. I have a similar deck to yours that has tested well, http://www.mtgvault.com/traslin/decks/white-heroic-aggro/ . The problem with having all those instants is that they aren't very useful if your hand is full of them with no creatures, which will happen especially if you are up against control. Soul Tithe is awesome because it targets everything and it slows your opponent down. The other cards are just good in your deck, so I'd take them over Brave or Spear, especially since you are already running Gods Willing.I'd still side-board the Braves though and sub them in for Acolyte's against control decks.
I have a deck like this and I was wondering if enchantment creatures count towards etheral armor?
If it is bestowed as an enchantment it does.
False, bestowed or not it pumps up the armor. Ethereal Armor says "enchantment" not "Aura" and enchantment creatures are enchantments.
I have a similar deck that I've play tested a bunch and has done extremely well on MTGO. When it goes off which is fairly consistent I get a turn 5 win. It's done well against G/R monsters and mono blue. Precinct captain I've found is a must have. It works well with Eidolon of Countless Battles and if they remove it that means one less removal spell to target your hero. Soldier of the pantheon is also very nice as it's protected from a lot of control cards and can block fleecemane lion and other such multicolored cards. The hopeful eidolon is nice because if you ethereal armor it on turn two it's 3/3 lifelink. Double ethereal armor on turn two means its a 7/7 lifelink. That's hard to come back from. It's also good at the end of the game for the life link. I would run 3 or even 4 ajanis because it often times ends up being a turn 4-5 game winner and the purpose of it is it's -3 ability so having two in your hand is ok. Cast one then -3, next turn cast the other replacing the first one and -3. What I would like to see for the next set is a bestow that's cheap to cast and grants indestructability.Creatures:244 Hopeful Eidolon4 Soldier of the Pantheon4 Hero of Iroas4 Precinct Captain4 Banisher Priest4 Eidolon of Countless BattlesSpells:164 Brave the Elements3 Ethereal Armor4 Gods Willing3 Ajani, Caller of the Pride2 Spear of HeliodLands:2020 PlainsSideboard:154 Last Breath4 Revoke Existence4 Fiendslayer Paladin3 Rootborn Defenses
I like your suggestions and deck idea, gonna make some subtle adjustments to mine now.
very cool perhaps you should consider something with life gain also now when you play white
Celestial Flare could probably help with your Stormbreath problem. Would help with Blood Barons and any other giant attackers (like bloodrushed creatures, surprise giants in R/G monsters, etc.)
