So, mono white EDH has scucked for the longest time. It looked good because you have access to wraths, removal, big angels and whatnot but it failed at one thing in particuar that is crucial: ramping and drawing. You wanna ramp N' Draw in this format, unless you're attempting to murder everyone with combo. Then you need to tutor and draw lots. White had good tutors but we were mostly limited to auras and equipments, with enchantments getting in there.

Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. I mean when Sram got released.

Suddenly white had access to a two-mana draw engine in the command zone. Yes, Sram is a draw engine. It just needs a bit of building around. Fortunately, we already have ways of tutoring for equipment and auras in white and now these turn into straight gas. It enables us to be on a voltron plan and still have tons of cards left when our opponents inevitably deal with out voltron plan, so we can transition to a late-game control plan (in theory). This build is not the best way to build sram, but I've had a lot of fun with it and it feels like playing UW because of how much I can draw. Key cards to get are FLickering ward for that sweet draw engine. Combine with sigarda's aid to make it even more obnoxious. Getting dowsing dagger active on turn 4 is also quite possible due to the amount of evasion/protection built in and it's easier in multiplayer. ramping from 4 to 7 is a big game, especially considering you cantripped with the dagger ;).

Ways to win is either through commander damage or lots of tokens off sigil of the empty throne/martial coup/zenith/decree. This deck probably needs a couple of mana doublers, will test out as soon as I scrape enough snow plains together.

2019-09-11 Edited the main list, will update once ELD releases. Gamw plan switched to mainly voltron, using graveyard recursion engines for the long game. With the addition to more fast mana and artifact sources such as smothering tithe, some MLD was added.
