Happy —April 26, 2015
Quite happy with the deck in its current format. Will be looking next at future blocks for new influences.
Oh god, emvill7e, they so need to reprint Retribution of the Meek in a duel deck. So perfect. Thanks for tailored responses. :D

Archangel of Thune + Righteous Charge or any other lifegaining card. Beast mode!

Righteous Cause not charge. Was typing on my phone with the last post.

you need Arcane Lighthouse to get around hexproof and shroud.

Path to Exile >>>>> Condemn: with people waiting to kill your commander (coming out as an enchantment), you will need a stronger removing presence then Condemn since it is less likely for someone to attack you, with damage being prevented.
Wrath of God >>> Mass Calcify: vs any deck with white in it, Mass Calcify, this card can easily get nullified. I learned that the hard way.

Thanks for the help snotice. I find Mass Calcify's big problem is it comes a turn later than when I need it. My Commander meta doesn't play much white. I have Path to Exile on order, but I do need Wrath of God.

Oh good! my deck, Who the hell is Gahiji? is mostly white and only playtested once, but it was a good match up. I feel if you can wipe the board a few times and keep your life total up, this deck can be very hard to beat.

"Propaganda like" block (hello for tokens):Ghostly Prison or Windborn Muse.
Can't damage you:Pariah + Stuffy Doll or Cho-Manno, Revolutionary
*Avacyn better, but cost so much, and Clone or Bribery make her not really good vs blue color deck.
how about 1 card combo? 13/13 trample and annihilator 2 just for 6 mana:Auratouched Mage + Eldrazi Conscription
Crib Swap really good removal (Exile).
Darksteel Mutation block oponnent general.
Also, weakest side of monowhite (card draw): Mind's Eye // Staff of Nin. And yes, i see Skullclamp.
Decree of Justice // Increasing Devotion - tokens
Temple of the False God - "must have" land in mono deck.
Kor Haven - saved me a lot of times vs poison.
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - lady gaga?!

Thanks razor557. Worth considering, but it might be a tad weak.

Nice deck, +1. I started making a list of must-haves in rune-tail EDH, and noticed you already had all of them!
don't you worry about having 2 ajanis and 3 elspeths?

Thanks, joriiiii12345. I don't worry, but that's because I've only started playing with planeswalkers this year, so they're quite novel. If I drew both, I'd just kill one and put the next one out. Most of them are just utility enchantments.

@DavidBray Not to be that guy, but Spectral Procession isn't EDH Legal in this deck... It contains mana symbols (Even though they are dual mana symbols) in the mana cost, and therefore aren't legal in EDH... Trust me, I run Mono-white as well, and I would love to run Divinity of Pride, but sadly, I Cannot. (Unless of course your venue has its own house rules for play (Unless tournament))
I, however, will not tell you such dreadful news without giving you an alternative.
March 29, 2015 2:07 p.m.
Spectral Procession isn't WB, its W/colourless which is fine. It's only if the dual would go to a colour not in the commander's colour identity. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been in the mono commander deck from Wizards
However, Luminarch Ascension is cool. I'll add it to the maybeboard
March 29, 2015 2:19 p.m.
DavidBray oh derp. Sorry, I'm half blind. Those "2/w" symbols looked like "b/w" symbols. Apologies,But I would definitely add Luminarch instead of Procession. I mean, 4 for 4/4 with flying is great, even for non-tokens. It also pulls counters, because people hate it when you get 3 4/4s every turn.
