Temporary Truce
Sorcery
Each player may draw up to two cards. For each card less than two a player draws this way, that player gains 2 life.

Double Major: sadly, this doesn't work like you'd hope with Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
Secret Rendezvous: Here we go, white Concentrate , kinda. Or updated Temporary Truce / Truce . Obviously goes with not only Smothering Tithe but also Alms Collector . I wish it was Instant though; not only would that typically let you make better use of the cards than the gifted opponent (which I think it's fair since the drawback is pretty big), in EDH it could let you help one opponent dig for answers in response to another opponent's threat.
"Frog Mystic": Unremarkable common but this is cute :]
"Talent Exam": Ugh, I do not approve of them printing this in the same set as Approach of the Dragon.
"Dream Strix": lol okay spoke kinda too soon

triproberts12 on How to design white card …

Well, I mostly like where this has gone. A few thoughts:
Gidgetimer , that's nice, but card draw is a necessity for Commander. It's not a "weakness," it's a disqualifier. Red isn't supposed to get enchantment removal, but it has Chaos Warp . Green isn't supposed to be able to directly deal with creatures, but Lignify and Kenrith's Transformation are better than 99% of white or black creature removal. Know what the best Wrath is? Cyclonic Rift . Yeah, it's not that great in 1-on-1 play, but it's a staple in Commander for a reason. That's why I designed a card that is strictly worse than a blue starter deck card from 1999 in two-player games, but still better than anything white currently has access to in EDH. Every other color has had it s weaknesses someone covered for EDH, even red, in recent years.
seshiro_of_the_orochi and dbpunk , That's not card draw. I think Temporary Truce might be underplayed, but in a casual commander game, tempo means exactly nothing, so getting one more threat while possibly putting an answer to it in one of your opponents' hands while giving the other two free cards is card disadvantage. Likewise, you actually want your lands, so overglorified scrying isn't card advantage. The reason why I made the design I did is because regardless of how your opponents choose, you're still going up cards against the table, which is what actually matters.
griffstick , I like your ideas about an enchantment with a delayed sac and hand-equalizing effects. I think those ideas are the closest to what I had in mind, in that the marginal value of those cards is highest for you as the mono-white player, so even if it's not the 5-cards to your opponents' 1, magical Christmasland scenario I was thinking, that still gets at the heart of where I think white should get card advantage. I pretty heavily disagree with the other stuff, though. That list of cards above is from over a decade of Magic, and I see those cards as proof of the failure to make mono-white viable in EDH. They all point towards white weenie and Voltron strategies, which just don't have what it takes to compete at even a 7/10 power-level table.
Ultimately, the problem, to me (and Maro, as he's talked about on his Drive to Work podcast), is that white card advantage strategies scale horribly in EDH. It's not just a matter of making Mentor of the Meek or Puresteel Paladin better, it's that those cards completely miss the mark.

Garruk, Apex Predator
Gideon, Champion of Justice
Venser, the Sojourner
(SOM Preferred, likely will take either)

Another fun one that I would be wary about running is Hive Mind if you combine it with Curse of Echoes on yourself, you can make some pretty neat loops by casting Temporary Truce, Chaplain's Blessing, Farseek, Rampant Growth, Show and Tell etc. If you really want to double down on this interaction you can add Strionic Resonator which allows you to copy the copies you cast.The reason I say to be wary of this is because it enables some pretty fast mill kills, for instance Enter the Infinite.

RubyOrzhov - The deck didn't start out to expensive, but its been one I play and tweak the most over the past couple of years. Looking at it now yikes, lol. Snow-Covered Plains are important for Sunstone, but you can ditch Scrying Sheets if you're trying to knock down the budget. Kor Haven can slot in for the Maze of Ith for a couple of bucks cheaper, and it taps for mana (or more straight up removal like Condemn works too!). Glacial Chasm is a new edition, but before then it was just a plains and I was still running a Selfless Squire as another fog. Serra's Sanctum is completely non-essential. I'm not even running enough enchantments to get as much value from it as I'd like.
Land Tax and Tithe can be Gift of Estates and Oreskos Explorer. Temporary Truce is from Portal so it costs a few bucks because of that, but for much less you can run Truce, which is the instant version of it. Or just slot back in the Mentor of the Meek I took out. Angel of Finality can be Stonecloaker. In the general theme, you can run Mobilization and Knight-Captain of Eos for a nice repeatable fog as well. This works well if you've got out a way to protect the Captain.
Academy Rector and Crucible of Worlds are the two expensive cards I put the closest to be needed, but you can work around that too. Just the way EDH works there's still cards I've NEVER drawn in the deck, so I can't say any one is completely needed unless its the actual wincon. Plea for Guidance is your budget Idyllic Tutor or Rector. And White has enough ways to find land (including Eternal Dragon) that CoW is just something nice to have if you can run it.
Thanks for the comment, I hadn't really taken the time to think about a more budget friendly version of this lately!

KamiYamabushi, you could replace Wall of Vapor with Guard Gomazoa, and Temporary Truce with another draw spell, something like Words of Wisdom.
Neither work exactly the same way as the two cards you mentioned, but I don't think you lose much by the replacements.

poorpinkus Fair enough. I mainly play online, and considering both Truce and Temporary Truce aren't available on MTGO, which of the maybeboard cards would you recommend in its place?
