@djlindyswag Ill add it to maybeboard but wont mainboard it because the only wall with more then 1 attack is Sunweb which is unlikely to come up in the same hand...

Instead of Animate Wall, I'd rather see Rolling Stones. Much more hilarious.

Also check out Pariah and Pariah's Shield

I agree with lemmingllama regarding Rolling Stones. That's a nifty trick for this deck. Have you thought about adding in some non-defender cards? Maybe some PWs? Ajani, Caller of the Pride or Ajani Steadfast (or both) could fit in really well here. I also notice you've listed 47 lands right now, which we both know is kind of crazy. So obviously you'll be ditching some of those for other cards. Are you wanting to keep the creature base the same or would you be amenable to actual suggestions for creatures and spells to help get the victory? Or are you intending this to be a very long mill?

Yes, I'm always open to suggestions. As for non-defenders I'd mostly be looking for more Nyx-Fleece Ram type cards but I'd be very open to throwing in some extra win-cons if it seems worth it.

As for the land base I know thats crazy and was only put there to try and fill in blank deck spaces (although I would keep it slightly above average to ensure a land drop most turns and get out my commander + Storm Herd ASAP

Also as I still want the option to do a long mill encase my main win-cons are countered destroyed I have taken the steps of:

1x Witchbane Orb

1x Elixir of Immortality

1x Feldon's Cane

just in case I mill myself or I come against a very annoying mill deck (Mostly the one my brother runs)

Just thought of a wicked combo for W/G: Storm Herd + Ajani, Mentor of Heroes. Ah well.

Loyal Gyrfalcon, Soulbound Guardians, Wall of Swords, Wall of Reverence, and Woolly Razorback all seem like good fits for the deck.

These lands would help to diversify your game play. Arcane Lighthouse Boseiju, Who Shelters All Emeria, The Sky Ruin Hall of the Bandit Lord Maze of Ith Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.

You seem to be running about 6 too many lands.I would use those five slots for Cathars' Crusade Deploy to the Front Nomads' Assembly Knight of the White Orchid Gift of Estates & Kor Cartographer

These cards would go great in your theme. I am not sure what to tell you to cut for them, as I am not sure why you picked more than half the cards you have. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails Sandsower Seraph of the Masses Geist-Honored Monk Spear of Heliod Kor Chant Windborn Muse Aurification Blazing Archon Chronomantic Escape Ghostly Prison & Glacial Chasm, which works nicely with your Eternity Vessel

I'd like to say that Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Maze of Ith, Temple of the False God, and Glacial Chasm are all very useful lands. Additionally, you can go for some mana ramp to speed up getting out Avacyn, so things like Marble Diamond, Gauntlet of Power, Caged Sun, Extraplanar Lens, and cards that can fetch lands like Land Tax, Knight of the White Orchid, Gift of Estates, and Kor Cartographer.

Also just for flavour, stuff doll is a wonderful blocker. Similarly, Silent Arbiter and Crawlspace can be quite useful, and maybe Ensnaring Bridge if you want to spend money.

I think you could get a lot of inspiration looking around at "Pillow-fort" decks that you see a lot with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic. Obviously it's tri-color, but the general idea seems to be what you're going for. Just kind of going off of that, here are some suggestions.

Mana - Sol Ring is a staple is pretty much every EDH deck. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx If you're running mono colored commander it's a must have. All you need to drop for these is 2 plains. Other lands to consider - Secluded Steppe, Reliquary Tower, Ghost Quarter, Temple of the False God

Removal - Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, & Oblivion Ring all fall into the staples category, especially for mono W. They're also all better options than things like Oppressive Rays. I'd also probably add another board wipe like Day of Judgement?!?!?!!

Card Draw - Probably the Achilles heel of mono W. You're going to be extremely limited for options here. Something like Well of Lost Dreams can be invaluable with a life gain sub-theme. Or even cards like Solemn Simulacrum and Survival Cache.

"Pillow-Fort" - These are cards that make it even harder for your opponents to swing in or damage you. - Ghostly Prison, Windborn Muse, Eidolon of Rhetoric, Serene Master, Crawlspace, and Norn's Annex.

Cards to Remove - Touch of the Eternal I just don't see how your permanent count will ever surpass your life total in this type of deck. Feldon's Cane & Pariah's Shield Not super relevant abilities, and you already have better versions of both with Elixir of Immortality and Pariah. Heroes Remembered & Congregate Both seem like "win more" cards. Raise the Alarm you said it yourself, this isn't a 1/1 soldier deck anymore. Arbiter of Knollridge Chances are this can only hurt you since your life total is likely to be the highest.

Lastly given how many creatures you run you should probably consider added the trio of Suture Priest, Soul Warden & Soul's Attendant. I'd drop Cathedral Sanctifier, Dedicated Martyr, and Nomads en-Kor

Oh god...I cant change these out fast enough so thanks for all these suggestions xD

If anyone can tell me what to take out intead of what to put in now it will probably help just as much because I'm struggling to fit all the good cards in :P

White definitely needs more card draw. Nice changes, though.

The deck has been ordered as it is although I will still take in suggestions when given and update the deck.

I love pillow fort! I believe you can add that to your hubs, how about Norn's Annex, or maybe Azor's Elocutors, and Stuffy Doll?
