Is your play group full of meanies trying to end the game as fast as possible. Are they making the game no fun for anyone? Well this deck was created to give them a taste of their own medicine. The best thing about being mono white is all the taxes you can put on your opponents. I tried to bring death and taxes to the EDH format the best I could. What batter tax card is there than Thalia. The goal here is to drive your opponents crazy by making them pay extra for everything they want to do. From having to play 5 or more mana for cheap spells, to only allowing them to play one spell per turn. This deck is sure to make some children cry.

The main way to win with this deck is to completely stall out our opponents, then bring the beats with our swords. Commander damage is the easiest way to win, but you can slow roll the game even more by using any other creature.

There is also one combo in the deck. It uses Helm of Obedience+Rest in Peace. With both of these on the battlefield you can mill out the entire deck of your opponents (one at a time) fir just 1 mana. With Rest in Peace on the field nothing ever reaches the graveyard, that makes the Helm of Obedience trigger never see anything hit the graveyard.
