Control

Here's my unconventional mono white control deck using board wipes, pinpoint control, and wrath proof creatures as your win con.

I wanted to create some rogue tech that could handle swarm decks, Elfageddon, trawlers, Ugin, artifact ramp, and rogues that could get around the inordinate amount of removal in Historic.

This is my current ladder deck and it's gotten me to Mythic. If you choose to download and play it, feel free to leave a comment and let me know how it does for you.

How it plays: 

 

image is typically used as an early play for quick pokes and clump blocks. 

Once image

or

hit the table paying the 4 life to preserve the Vanguard becomes a non issue.

Most of the time I use Gideon's lifelink option to cause Heliod to add a +1/+1 to the Vanguard or to a image

that I've already pumped previously and activated to swing with. As an added bonus; you can submit 0 on Gideon's +1 to stack counters if you have no viable target. This helps work towards his exile ability for extra control.

image works as a great stall if they sneak out a beater. I hit it with the +1 ability for 0 dmg, and now it sits there doing nothing. If they're prepping to swing for a ton, I'll drop him and pop his 0 ability if him or Blackblade are on the table to attempt to soak some of the incoming damage only to play a wipe the following turn. 

Many of my games were won with the Gideon twins on the table both cause 4/4 dmg.

require no explanation since all of your drops are wrath-proof.

Once you hit devotion 5 white (easy to do).

image becomes an invulnerable 5/5 beater

 

**My typical plays go like this. [low mana option] Activate Blackblade's invul ability, target Adanto Vanguard, cast board wipe (3/4 mana), swing for 7. Next turn Activate Gideon's lifegain, target Adanto, swing for 7 more. 

[5/6 mana option] Activate Gid of the trials for 4/4, activate Blackblade's lifegain, target Gid of the Trials, Activate Adanto's invul, cast board wipe (3/4 mana), activate Heliod lifegain (2 mana) & target Blackblade, swing for 11, have Heliod add 2 +1/+1 counters to Adanto Vanguard** you gain 8 life -4 so you net 4 life, opponent loses 16, you set for lethal next round using only the Adanto (in case they attempt to image

image and image are held for particularly troublesome drops like image image image image image
