I strongly prefer playing mono-colored decks since I find that they have more niche/unique playstyles and usually end up cheaper since you dont need fetches/shocks. Monowhite is the only color I haven't built in real-life (I very briefly had a Darien deck when I started EDH by in 2010, but it wasnt very good and I took it apart rather quickly). Before actually going out and buying the cards, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on which direction I should take this deck and whether or not it would be viable in a T3 meta (eg: Well built: Ezuri, Claw of Progress, Wort Raidmother, etc).
I picked Mangara of Corondor since he has an interesting ability that deals with every single permanent type. I'm assuming that his ability is highly political as well: "Attack me and I remove your big threat or I let player C beat you into the dust".
The primary purpose of the deck is to abuse managara's ability by either flashing him out before the second part resolves or by doubling his activation. An other alternative is saccing him then recurring him. It also includes most common mono-white control cards. I am considering slotting in Null Rod and Stony Silence but I would need to test more. I'm a bit light on wincons, but I assume that either Avacyn, Entreat the Angels or Elspeth planeswalker would be able to close out the game slowly but surely.
*Note: This decklist may not add up to 100 cards, see decklist by card type for a guaranteed 100 cards.
Mistveil Plains is a card I've never been unhappy to see. You're light on tutoring so it isn't an auto-include, but consider it if you add some more search effects.
Hi there,
Thank you for your response, fiend hunter might be a good replacement for false prophet. In retrospect I'm not even sure why I included False Prophet in the first place. I was looking at cutting Norn's Annex so Sphere of Safety seems like a good inclusion. I dont think I will include Mistveil Plains however since I try to stay away from tapped lands and I dont really have a way to tutor creatures. I will probably cut Oblivion Ring and Banishing Light for Enlightened Tutor and Idyllic Tutor.
I have never played with colorless tutors like Ring of Three Wishes. What is the consensus on these?

i am a huge fan of Kor Cartographer in mono white, one of the only "real" ramp cards white can offer.
if you are worried about needing another win con, you can always go Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Karma, always a legitimate strategy.
