Mono White Control

so i have been testing this deck a lot and it seems to be strong , nothing tier ready, but it still pulls it's weight.

// Deck file for Magic Workstation (http://www.magicworkstation.com)

// Lands
18 [CS] Snow-Covered Plains
2 [CS] Scrying Sheets
2 [MOR] Mutavault
2 [TSP] Flagstones of Trokair

// Creatures
2 [SHM] Kitchen Finks
2 [PLC] Crovax, Ascendant Hero
4 [CS] Martyr of Sands
1 [LE] Akroma, Angel of Wrath
2 [SHM] Godhead of Awe
1 [FUT] Magus of the Moat
2 [LRW] Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile

// Spells
2 [10E] Story Circle
4 [PLC] Mana Tithe
3 [LRW] Oblivion Ring
4 [10E] Condemn
3 [CS] Coldsteel Heart
3 [10E] Wrath of God
2 [LRW] Pollen Lullaby
1 [PLC] Sunlance

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [SHM] Kitchen Finks
SB: 1 [LE] Akroma, Angel of Wrath
SB: 1 [FUT] Magus of the Moat
SB: 2 [LRW] Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile
SB: 1 [LRW] Oblivion Ring
SB: 1 [10E] Wrath of God
SB: 2 [LRW] Pollen Lullaby
SB: 3 [PLC] Sunlance
SB: 3 [TSB] Disenchant

here are my match-ups...in my mind at least

RDW: Autowin first match. With SC and Martyr's every thing is smooth sailing. 2nd match, board in kitchen and disenchant for everlasting

Merfolk: Blue kinda hoses my deck and i know that. i have to worry about cryptic and sage's. sometimes it's a race when i draw aggro, or try to control with wogs and lullaby. G2 usually sees brigid coming in because a well placed block'n'Tap can take a swarm out.

Elves: With no answers (mono green version) to Wogs, rings and brigids, it can be easy.

Faeries: Well everyone can see faeries just kinda run me over, i try with WoGs and Fogs to stop them for a while but it usually ends up bad. it doesn't mean i haven't beaten them, it's just kinda against my favor

Well, i am looking for some suggestions and maybe some help against faeries and i know i am probably forgetting tier decks and i'm ok with that. so thank's in advanced

Magus of the Tabernacle seems really good in the format right now

How would it do that? I think it would be a good sideboard choice for faeries, elves or whatever hordes take you on. The only thing you need is a way to keep him from getting bounced, other than tithe. Maybe a turn to mist? (idk if it's ok with your theme). Burn not so much because he has a toughness of 6.
I know people in this forum have said that mono white sucks right now, but honestly, it seems more of the opposite. Of course it would probably get owned by rev or faeries. But everything else it stands a chance against. As long as you have disruption, you have a good shot.

I think you are confusing Magus of the Tabernacle with Magus of the Disk.

If you could cast magus of the tabernacle against a token deck or other aggro, it would pretty much be huge trouble for them. A lot of aggro decks go for getting massive amount of creatures out obv, so why not make them pay for it. Plus, aggro decks usually don't have counters, unless you're dealing with faeries.

I forgot to add a couple things-
Try to include temporal isolation in there somehow since it is an awesome card.
Make sure your sideboard isn't just a dump for cards you didn't have space for in the deck. If you want to that's fine, and it may even be a good idea, but the more variety the better.
And last, I think you may need some better creature cards with some evasion like flying. Serra Avenger maybe?
Akroma = awesome
Godhead = very good
Crovax = ridiculously good
Mag/Moat = iffy
Sands = must have
The rest are pure player taste. I'm not saying they are bad choices, it's just that there may be better cards in the format right now. Very Happy

I think you want a full set of finks they are just such a good creature.

best bet against faeries is probably p. nodes, just eats bitterblossom a new one.

I'd take the advice of the last 2 posts. Addind both would make the deck so much more formidable. And you can even sb the nodes if you want.

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but how does scrying sheets help with drawing if it only draws snow cards?
