A White-Blue Steel variant that looks to add extra headaches when playing against this aggro deck.

Splashing white for Ethersworn Canonist MB and Spell Queller SB.

Other white sideboard considerations are: Rest in Peace, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, and other tech.

The deck plays similar to the Mono-U, with the additions of fetches to thin the deck, loses Throne of the God-Pharaoh which I am mixed about through current playtesting, and gets access to Spell Queller which really helps against UW Control which almost felt unwinnable.

Merfolk is often an issue for Blue Steel, but resolving an Ethersworn Canonist fixes that. Aside from this, no real bad matchups.
