'The' Monowhite hatebears of enchantment decks! This deck looks to shut down opposing decks and win via a slew of angel tokens or an indestructable Heliod, God of the Sun with his army of 2/1 clerics. The varied enchantments make it extreamely difficult for most modern decks to win the way they want to. "Oh, you want to combo to get infinite life/damage/token army? Suppression Field ! Nope!" "Oh, you want to beat down with a ton of creatures? Ghostly Prison/Sphere of Safety! Nope!" "Oh, you want to burn/discard/mill me to the dome? Leyline of Sanctity! Nope!" "Oh you're some combo deck that wins with only a single card? Nevermore ! Nope!"

This deck has an answer for pretty much any threat in the current modern metagame. I'd say the only bad matchup is against midrange decks that only ever attack with a single large creature, but even then you have Journey to Nowhere and Oblivion Ring to take care of threats like those. Once you get a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx online, you normally get 5-10 mana every turn thanks to all the devotion you have hanging around the battlefield, and can cast multiples of the enchantment-hate that you need to take any hope of winning away from your opponent, not to mention make hordes of clerics with Heliod!

+1 if you like!

New Year, New Banlist, New meta! — Jan. 28, 2016

Edit

With the banning of Summer Bloom and Splinter Twin, this deck needs to change with the times! There isn't as much of a need for instant-speed creature removal anymore, so I'm thinking the Stasis Snares could be cut for additional help against Tron and the new Bx Eldrazi decks in the form of Pithing Needle. Similarly, the 3rd Blood Moon should probably be in the MD. I'm going to wait and see for a bit first to find out what decks need to be beaten, then adjust accordingly. Infect and bogles might be the toughest matchups for this deck right now, but more testing will need to be done first to see what we can use.
