This originally started out as a budget magic token deck and has evolved into a business casual (semi comp) mono white control tokens deck. It is fairly ruthless when it gets going and can end games really quickly if not kept in check. Despite being mono white it can get out of hand fast with cards like hero of bladehold, Brimaz and Leonin Warleader.

The argument could be made to have brimaz as the commander who is cheaper and gets off the bat quicker but the pressure that norn puts out by just being castable is worth leaving her, also having access to a finisher on demand has proved better than having access to a token generator. If removal is not saved for norn she will run over the game very quickly, meaning that some key creatures can get through easier as your opponent will be saving that removal for norn.

The deck has some control elements as well in the form of Aura of Silence, Nevermore, Spear of Heliod and Boardwipes.

The main goal is the deck is to go as wide as you can and use norn to finish out the game, she isn't always necessary but when she hits and isn't handled the game is usually over in a turn two. Armageddon is to be used when you have your advantage and can win in about a turn, use it to remove your opponents ability to answer your field, using it as a stall is a dick move. Using it with Avacyn out is also a solid idea but again, you want to be able to finish the game within a turn or two. Using MLD to stall out a game is the reason people have a problem with MLD.
