I was inspired by a vs article on SCG in the beginning of march. http://www.starcitygames.com/article/30467_BBD-VS-CVM-Mono-White-Devotion-VS-Abzan-Midrange.html Then I searched tappedout for a while and found this beauty God of Manifest (DTK Standard)

My version is very fun to pilot mono white weenie deck that has an end-game that abuses nythkos, shrine of nyx to manifest multiple cards per turn with Mastery of the Unseen (nice card advantage) and Soul of Theros pumping my army of first striking soldiers.

Todays meta has a significant amount of deathtouch creatures and I consider public enemy #1 the looping Deathmist Raptor. Other annoying death touchers that can slow a white weenie deck down are the bee's. The bee's coming from Hornet Nest and Hornet Queen. Deathtouch does not occur if we strike first, so I wanted to make a deck that featured first strike. So many times opponents forget that first strike trumps death touch. Archetype of Courage and Preeminent Captain and late game surprise in Soul of Theros. Another meta-game decision was a playset of Soldier of the Pantheon. soldier was predicted to big big when Khan's of Takir first got released, but it never happened. I think now is a great time to be playing SoP. Soldier takes on Fleecemane Lion and Rakshasa Deathdealer and with some bolster and siege pumps Siege Rhino and can attack past these multi colored guys also.

This deck has many other small synergies, if you ever sleeve this up you will see.

Magic Christmasland first 4 turns: T1 Soldier of the Pantheon + T2 anafenza kin-spirit tree + T3 preeminant captain + T4 Citadel Siege and attack with the captain casting a freebie Brimaz, King of Oreskos

This deck can do nothing to stop or remove Stormbreath Dragon it can only ignore it and manifest as much as possible, gain life, build a huge army, and use Soul of Theros
