While ultimately mono white good stuff, the deck is built on beefing up Eight-and-a-Half-Tails to deal lethal commander damage. Unlike most commanders though, Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is able to protect the majority of your board (as well as make himself more or less unblockable) due to his pro-white abilities.

Generally this deck is too slow to win most 1v1 matches, but is quite entertaining to play in multi-player, especially once board position is stabilized and protecting permanents is not so much an issue (as well as swinging for commander damage.

I found that sitting back and not going for the early kill is the best way to work on establishing board position, rather than going all out with aggressive and risky attacks; stabilize the mana base with doublers (Caged Sun), get a few good equipment out (Sword of Feast and Famine), and maybe a mean creature or two (Aven Mindcensor), and it's generally smooth sailing.
