Niko9 on Skrelv's Toxic Masculinity

Deck looks really fun, and as somebody who runs a mono white deck a lot, this list looks awesome : )
I have a few suggestions, just because you were asking about making this as competitive as possible.
You could probably get away with running more utility lands, stuff like War Room or Roadside Reliquary are nice when you just need to draw something, and I like Blast Zone a ton because it's always something you can sink some mana into and when it goes off it's amazing. Treasure Vault can be kinda similar where you can sac a little efficiency and get an amazing turn.
Dowsing Dagger Flip is a great equip and you have lots of attacking and evasive creatures, so might be awesome.
Concerted Effort could be an absolute bomb, giving all your guys double strike, flying, or protection. Effort and Mother of Runes are so great together.
For max cometitiveness, I think about a Phyrexian Dreadnought and Tocatli Honor Guard or Hushwing Gryff package, just because dreadnaught is such a crazy toxic target, and honor guard can even be tutored off Pyre of Heroes and Mother of Runes or Alaborn Zealot. Zealot also works well with protection because you can pro her from her own destruction, and really, worst case she is just a 1mana protection from attacks. It's a convoluted combo for sure, and I'd only do it because I have a few dreadnaught copies from back in the day, he is way too expensive now : ) Also, things like Hushbringer can just be great stax pieces on their own.
Duelist's Heritage might work well with toxic
And I really like Crashing Drawbridge in any attack focused deck, just for the haste, but sometimes to have a big butt blocker too.

No, she doesn't shut down shocklands. Paying life for your shockland is not a trigger. It does not use the stack, you cannot react to it, just like you can't react to the creature type being named with a Cavern of Souls. Because the oracle text says "As ... enters the battlefield" not "When ... enters the battlefield".
It looks like the people defending her never played with Tocatli Honor Guard, Hushbringer, Torpor Orb or Hushwing Gryff and have no idea what the oracle text actually means. And Norn is worse, since it's every permanent entering the battlefield, not just creatures. Like Strict Proctor.
TypicalTimmy I looked at your Miirym deck, here's the "occasional benefits" Elesh Norn is actually going to shut down or interfere with:
That's a lot of synergy, ramp, carddraw and wincons shut down by a commander. About 1/3rd of all your nonland cards. And that deck is going to have a hard time removing her too, by the looks of it.
Now there are a few cards that get better playing against Norn: bouncelands like Boros Garrison don't return lands to hand anymore, Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger doesn't need to sacrifice itself, but effects like those are not enough to catch up with the Norn player.
What's this "no game-winning effects in white" everyone is talking about? Cathars' Crusade will end the game in a hurry, especially if you pair it up with something like Blessed Sanctuary. Double up on every O-ring effect. Stonehorn Dignitary will keep you alive, especially if you play Teleportation Circle and Conjurer's Closet, as one definitely will in this deck. Felidar Retreat and Emeria Shepherd with all your Land Tax effects will snowball into an enormous boardstate easily. Solitude will rule the table. Sun Titan is still one of the most played white creatures for a reason. For carddraw that white wasn't supposed to have, Spirited Companion, Carrier Pigeons, Combat Thresher, Farsight Adept, Inspiring Overseer, Mentor of the Meek, Priest of Ancient Lore, Resistance Squad, Roving Harper, Rumor Gatherer, Search Party Captain, Skyscanner, Thraben Inspector, Wall of Omens all double up with Norn. Because everyone memed that white is a bad colour, nobody seems to know what the color has to offer. It could already hold its own without such a saltmine of a card for the command zone, and if you need this middle finger to half the popular deck archetypes to even consider building it, you do you, but prepare to be avoided.

Welcome to Modern. Your MB looks ok, so I'll give you some SB ideas.
-
Chalice of the Void: Putting a Chalice on 1 is great vs DS and decent vs burn; it hurts you but you can just get around it with Cavern of Souls.
-
Auriok Champion: Good against DS and burn
-
Kor Firewalker: Excellent vs burn, decent vs DS
-
Prismatic Ending: I know you already have Path in your SB, but you might want to experiment with this. It hits all nonland permanents so there might be matchups where it's relevant for you (e.g., opp plays Ensnaring Bridge or something) since you are a 3 color deck technically
-
Torpor Orb: Great against MH2 elementals and soul sisters.
-
Tocatli Honor Guard/Hushbringer: Great against MH2 elementals and soul sisters.

Personally I would trade out Accorder's Shield for Torpor Orb. I would trade out Pilgrim's Eye and Tiana, Ship's Caretaker for Hushwing Gryff and Tocatli Honor Guard (I know, Tiana is really cool, but she is only hitting equipment in your deck, you're not running as much equipment as a full equipment Voltron deck, and you'd have to drop her for 5 mana then find a way to protect her for her ability to work and you're only running 3 cards that offer protection with Greaves, Cloak, and your instant Chance for Glory).
You don't need to trade them all out, just some suggestions of what I'd personally do if I was putting ETB protection in.

I think Thassa's Oracle is a great example
This card is so powerful that more then half of the turn 0-3 win cons in CEDH depend on it.
yet Opt will out perform it, if you put it in just any deck that is not designed to deck itself
and if your play group got sick of your combos and started consistently running Hushwing Gryff or any other similar effects Hushbringer, Tocatli Honor Guard, Torpor Orb, Overwhelming Splendor (just to name a couple), Well then the win con just became a lost con
i'll stop now, because i don't want to ramble myself into an off topic debate. i'm just trying say that picking cards that function well with your deck and your friends is much more important then any online statistic so when you find a card that you love and works amazing in your games don't let yourself be bothered if online trys to tell you its not that good.

Torpor Orb, Hushbringer, Hushwing Gryff, and Tocatli Honor Guard for protection. Plus, Torpor Orb will trigger metalcraft and is easy to tutor for. Hushbringer is probably the best creature version of it to run, but something can be said for Hushwing Gryff's flash ability. The honor guard is just your budget option.
I used to play Allies vs a Jor Kadeen deck and once I got Tuk-Tuk out I'd completely shut down their deck for the rest of the game through multiple ETB triggers destroying artifacts. The only thing they non-bo with in your deck is Hangarback Walker, since everything else I see is on-death or on-attack triggers.
OLucas on Winota Aristocrats Non-Budget

Leo_LordOfThePit thank you for commenting.
I agree that Seasoned Pyromancer is too good to pass up without a budget restriction. The reason it's not here is because this is mostly a manabase upgrade from a budget deck I've been brewing. I'll eventually get around to making a true non-budget version.
A better version of this deck would probably feature Seasoned Pyromancer , Liliana of the Veil , Thoughtseize , Collective Brutality , Bloodghast making the +2 from Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip much better. The problem I foresee is the number of humans dwindling too much making Winota, Joiner of Forces worse. Depending on the creature package Xathrid Necromancer should also be switched out for Teysa, Orzhov Scion .
The reason for the Tocatli Honor Guard is because exiling effects are very effective against this deck and a lot of these effects are creature etb based so they should really be in the 75. They are in the mainboard as a metagame call, maybe a wrong call, but if those effects aren't prominent deffinetly switch them with Rip Apart and Vanishing Verse .
I would love to see your version of the deck and how it fares. Best of luck.
