Mono White is the Shit
Standard forum

Untap has been filled with people play testing new Origins brews, and the most consistent deck to emerge is mono white. Sometimes there are green splashes for Fleecemane Lion and Collected Company, but it is wrecking house right now. There have been plenty of other decks, black green elves, 1-drop white aggro, and goblins, but most of the time they lose to the white decks. Has anyone else noticed this, and does anyone else think this will the deck to beat in the upcoming season?

White Weenies will almost certainly be a thing the remainder of this standard season I think. I reallyyy want Gb elves to be a thing, but right now it doesnt have quite enough support I think.

I've already been thinking of trying it and have a deck I'm trying out. I didn't know it was already looking promising.
(By-the-way, I've been playing Magic for at least 20 years and have never used a monowhite deck before. I got pretty close in Kamigawa with monowhite samurai, but didn't take it seriously.)

I have a GB elves deck, and the only decks it has poor matchups against are white and red aggro. Piledriver into fodder/outburst can outrace it, and white aggro with some lifegain is just too much for elves to handle. Though hitting a turn 5 CoCo into 2 shamans with 8 elves on the battlefield will do in almost every deck (something I've done a couple of times now).

Goblins will be a tough match for any deck. rabblemaster with piledrivers is ham. however i am a firm believer in mono white as a contender coming up. the aggro with the ability to side control is huge. I'm going to post my current WW standard and then adjust as rotation happens

I definitely agree with that. Grab the Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, Hidden Dragonslayer and Arashin Foremost playsets while theses cards are under 1$, I can see them skyrocketing in price if a Mono White Aggro shows up at a Top 8

Here's what I've brewed : ''A Long Journey Through The Desert'' (Budget)

I'm testing a B/W Weenie with 4 Archangel of Tithes as the curve-topper and splashing Black for Athreos, God of Passage, Ultimate Price, and Thoughtseize off the sideboard. It works well.
