Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant (or more accurately Rune-Tail's Essence) deck which aims to have its creatures never die. Uses a (hopefully) automatic Rune-Tail's Essence to protect all its creatures from combat damage, Palisade Giant-type creatures to divert damage to themselves, Palace Guard-type creatures to block all incoming damage, token generators to go wide, counters to make creatures stronger, and lifegain to maintain control a flipped Rune-Tail's Essence.
Redirecting Damage
At the head of these effects we have Palisade Giant and Protector of the Crown, who absorb all damage done to me and, because of Rune-Tail's Essence, take no damage. That puts a soft lock on the board. However, they are very mana intensive. Slightly cheaper is Kjeldoran Royal Guard, but this only prevents combat damage and needs to be tapped to activate, so is less impactful. Similarly, Weathered Bodyguards prevents only combat damage, but can be brought out on earlier turns using its morph ability. This core contingent of guards helps to make combat less of a threat, but 4 cards is not enough.
Additionally, we have Pariah running the same effect in enchantment form, to target the other creatures in the deck. With the protection from Rune-Tail's Essence, the same effect is achieved and on an enchantment, which is a little harder to remove. For redundancy, we have Pariah's Shield, although to have the effect is very costly.
Wide Blockers
The second tier are blockers that can block any number of creatures. First out of the gate is Palace Guard who, for a very efficient 3 mana can block all incoming combat damage without fear of death. Backing them up is the more expensive but far more impactful Guardian of the Gateless, that actually has a chance of killing the thing it blocks!
Similarly, Brave the Sands allows any army we develop to be able to block in a similar, if limited fashion, and squeeze out the efficiency of each creature on the board.
Flawless Maneuver and Akroma's Will offer solid indestructability for either free or a butt-load of secondary abilities to help my board. Akroma's Will also has the added advantage of being a finisher in some instances, which white desperately needs, so very welcome all round.
However, due to the presence of the colour blue, there are some other things to think about when it comes to abilities getting around indestructability. For that, we have Lapse of Certainty in the first instance, to save us in an important turn, but even better Teferi's Protection and Guardian of Faith to treat our army like it doesn't exist for a turn. Gets around Cyclonic Rift and maintains the beautiful +1/+1 counters we've been adding to creatures.
