For repeatable use on a single token there's bouncers like Time Elemental, Temporal Adept, Waterfront Bouncer, and my favourite Tradewind Rider. If it has to be in white there's Witch Hunter and Eldrazi Displacer (if you can meet the colourless requirement). There's also cards that will do it if you meet a condition, like Skybind and Astral Slide.

With another return to Innistrad heralding the arrival of spooky season, I wanted to see what your favorite creepy, horrifying, and/or unsettling artwork is!

I have an entire deck partially dedicated to many of my all-time favorite spooky card arts but here are a couple more goodies across the color pie: Witch Hunter, Phantom Monster, Urborg Stalker, Halam Djinn, Moss Monster, and Black Mana Battery.

I'm eager to see what your favorites are!

These might interest you: Magewright's Stone (you can untap Mangara and use his ability again while the first activiation is still on the stack, exiling 2 things), Thousand-Year Elixir, Puppet Strings, To Arms!, Erratic Portal (return Mangara to hand before the ability resolves. it will exile the target without exiling Mangara), Acrobatic Maneuver (works like Erratic portal. when Mangara returns he will not be exiled by the old Mangara's ability, since the new one is a new object), Angel of Condemnation, Eldrazi Displacer, Sanctum of Eternity, Flickerform, Illusionist's Bracers, Rings of Brighthearth, Witch Hunter, Adarkar Valkyrie, Mimic Vat, Palace Jailer

Hear ye’ hear ye’, gather round dear peasants and hear the word of our one true king — Darien, King of Kjeldor !

Do you like running janky high cmc mono white commanders for the hipster swag points? How about including crap cards like Dingus Staff and Witch Hunter unironically in your deck? Maybe you enjoy slapping down cardboard that elicits the response, “Why the fuck is that in your deck?” All of these wonders and more could be yours! Join the Church of Darien today!

I went away, went on a Solstice vigil, and in the middle of the night had a revelation on how I would play it. I still stand by Isochron Scepter, but it doesn't address the problem you named of actually winning.

When I first saw the deck I was dubious about the enters tapped effects - it feels like they're taking the deck in a different direction than it wants to go, and splitting the deck's resources. My moment of revelation was realizing that the opponent's hand is almost always going to be full. If the deck runs right, a Temple Bell only benefits you because you're the only one playing things. So the first thing I'd add is a couple Howling Mine, Anvil of Bogardan, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea

But your hand is emptying out much faster than theirs. Khorvath's Fury draws you a card and deals seven damage to them Black Vise is almost guaranteed to do three every turn. and Ebony Owl Netsuke is doing a solid four each turn. Molten Psyche does seven or more!

This also means that bouncing things, given how hard it is for your opponents to play them, is as good removal as burn. AEther Membrane, Stingscourger or Witch Hunter might all be worth a try. Add a Trinisphere, Aura of Silence, or Sphere of Resistance to give them an extra hard time

Lastly, I think the best defense in this deck, might be effects like Ghostly Prison or Sphere of Safety

Rabid_Wombat on 3rd edition white deck?

Witch Hunter is a good budget alternative to Preacher...I paid $30 for mine just because I needed it to finish the deck.

Spirit Link is another great card that deserves a recommendation.

Rzepkanut on Tap tap, who's there?

Got some weird ideas for ya... Jhessian Balmgiver, D'Avenant Healer, Samite Archer, Reveka, Wizard Savant and Witch Hunter.

They're "fine" with quitting albeit no happy about the situation. Once I go infinite, I can kill them with Witch Hunter or drop Kormus Bell and attack with all my lands. Plus, I can drop a lot of 2/2 Zombies with Zombie Infestation and Library of Leng
