Mono White Pillowfort staples
Commander (EDH) forum

Hello Commanders,
I have started to build a Mono White Voltron Pillowfort deck with Eight-and-a-Half-Tails as commander. Our meta is pretty competitive, so I am carefully planning my selection of cards.
Basic gameplan: control the board to buy yourself time to setup for 21 commander damage (Equip your unblockable commander)
Obvious choice for a pillowfort strategy are:
- Ghostly Prison
- Karmic Justice
- Lightmine Field
- Maze of Ith
- Norn's Annex
- Silent Arbiter
- Solitary Confinement
- Sphere of Safety
- Windborn Muse
- Peacekeeper
- Grand Abolisher
- Luminarch Ascension
Any card(s) that I am missing that could prove worthy for such a deck?
Your suggestions are appreciated!
A few other options ...
- Witchbane Orb
- Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, Darien, King of Kjeldor, and Spear of Heliod as rattlesnakes
- Mystic Barrier, maybe
- Blazing Archon
- Ghostway, Holy Day, and Riot Control, to get out of trouble if needed
- Iona, Shield of Emeria, if you want to be that person
- Rest in Peace and Torpor Orb, depending on your meta

Check out my pillow fort resource on my profile, and look up Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker on EDHREC.com for what I'd assume is a mono white pillow fort deck. I always saw 8.5 as more of a equipment themed voltron deck.

8.5 is equipment driven, but with a pillowfort strategy around it. Im gonna give this a try :-)

Drought. It's not so much pillow fort as it is taxes, but in this case I think the two could go hand in hand. If you'd like to add taxes, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Vryn Wingmare, Leonin Arbiter, Aven Mindcensor, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Hushwing Gryff, etc.
