Deck Description

This is a fun Commander deck based around one of my favorite cards: Eight-and-a-Half-Tails!

This deck is tricky, unexpected and fun. protection shenanigans, indestructibility and buffs abound.

How to Play

This deck has a few main strategies. This is my first serious Commander deck; it is currently in the proxy/pre-purchase stages. All feedback welcome.

I would recommend giving this a quick read through as I learned a lot from it and the information included was different (and I feel much more relevant) than most info i found on Mono-White Commander.

The main strategies I included are as follows:

1. Protection from White/colors

Eight-and-a-half-Tails is ridiculous with protection. More than even Voltron applications the ability to give anything pro white is goofy. As such there are plenty of cards both one shot and recurring that give all or some of my creatures protection from white in various ways. Between blocking and blinking opponents shouldn't ever feel comfortable fucking with my shit.

This second iteration moved away from protection from white specific activation; I went for more "select a color" protections in case my 8.5 gets tucked. I added cloudchaser kestrel for a backup color changer and rune of protection: white as a backup COP:W.


2. Disruption

I tried to keep disruption fun and politically neutral; primarily punishing players for fucking with my shit. MkIII increases disruption considerably; suppression field and pillow fort laying it down hard.

3. Removal

Also increased removal power and numbers. Glare + 8.5 is a 3 mana vindicate. Renounce the guilds is flavorful for playing mono white.


4. Angels

Just too many solid bodies that are fairly budget (5-10) not to include. Buffs my creature presence, gives me so top deck and late game power and several have blink or protection related effects for added synergy and value.


5. Voltron Beats

Equipment, Auras and protection all come together when necessary. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is great as a body for spectral ward, white ward, unquestioned presence, etc. Jareth is my alternate Voltron general and makes a ridiculous buddy for Eight-and-a-Half-Tails (1W to negate a source of damage or blocker for Jareth is silly). Eight-and-a-Half-Tails also enjoys double strike ala general damage.
