Round 1:
Final Fortune Combo
Martyrs, Solemns, and Pegasus get him down quickly. He playmistakes and loses Game 1
In: 3 Disenchant, 2 Pithing Needle
Game 2: He gets a T2 Scepter I get a T3 Needle. Pegasus and Titan get me there.
Round 2:
Combo Elves
Game 1 he goes off T3
Like a retard I took out Rule of Law. I only sb in 2 Needles hoping to hit his Symbiote...nope...Game 2 is just as fast.
Round 3
Darkblade
Game 1: Titan and Emeria getting back Walls and Martyrs lock this up.
SB in 3 Disenchant, 2 Needles
Game 2 starts off great for me as I have 2 hate cards, Staff, 2 Walls, and Prison. By T3 i didn't have anything cuz of IoK and Therapy. I stall out enough and win on the back of Titans and Pegasus
Round 4:
Allies:
Game 1 saw me draw 3 DoJ within the first 15 cards. It goes like that sometimes. On the back of Martyr and Ghostly Prison.
Game 2 saw me draw 10 lands out of 19 cards...it goes like that sometimes.
Game 3 was Pegasus and Cat tokens holding down the fort for me.
Not where i wanted it too. planewalkers seem to have a hard time fitting into the deck cause they can ignore the prison and go after the walker. obv any walker is good after a DoJ, just never could get it going with Ajani or Venser
Dont you think magus of the tabernacle has a place in here? I play legacy Stax and he is such a hoser, especially with a ghostly prision on the field. They have to play to keep their creature, pay to attack, and he is a 2/6 to block that 1 attack.

Yep Magus is going in. I'm thinking of doing this for testing purposes:
+3 Godless Shrine (for Zealous Persecution out of the sb)
+3 Sacred Foundry (for Blood Moon out of the sb)
I really don't see a way I can beat 12 post. There's no mass land destruction at a cheap cost for mono-white. Anyone have any suggestions on beating 12 post?
Kind of sad not to see a Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
It really is a fantastic card and does rather fit with white control.
could be way to expensive. you could always pitch it and use the white zombify from timespiral.

Love Crovax. But for the sam cost, I get Sun Titan which affects the game alot more. Not many x/1 crunning around. Elesh is way to expensive imo.
Ran through 6 games tonight with 3 Magus in the deck.
Match 1: Zoo
Game 1: I get stuck at 3 mana and he eventually gets past my Prison and Martyr life gain
In: Journey to Nowhere x3
Game 2/3: Go as plan. Lock the early mana up with Prison/Tabernacle effects. DoJ, Sacred Mesa for the win.
Match 2: 5 Color Aggro
Nothing really here, weird deck, he play all the any mana lands and reflecting pool. I win 2/3 on Sacred Mesa and DoJ's.
Match 3: Goblins:
Game 1: He steadily burns me and I dn't see much creatures so I put him on burn
In: 3 Leyline Out: Magus
Game 2: He drops a bunch of Goblins. Prison and DoJ save me this match
In: 3 Magus Out: 2 WSZ and 1 Sun Titan
Match 4: Merfolk
Game 1: Emeria + Solemn + Sacred Mesa = bad times for the.
Game 2: He got 5 lords on on T4? So sick.
Game 3: DoJ and Mesa get me there again.
Match 5: Burn
Too easy. Turn 2 Martyr and bust for 15 life. Then I use Staff to gain a few life a turn. Game 2 sawme open with a Leyline
Match 6: Zoo
Game 1/2 goes as they should with a T3 Prison followed by a DoJ and Mesa gets me there.
Match 7: Hivemind
Game 1: He starts with a cloudpost, so I know i have to go aggro. He plays a T4 Hivemind and gets me.
In: 3 Spreading Seas 3 Aven Mindcensor
Game 2: He gets mana screwed thanks to me
Game 3: He goes of T4 again.
Combo in modern is not like Combo of old. You have Hivemind (which I guess Canonist can stop), Elves (which is probably dead) and Melira. Somewhere someone's probably working on a Second Sunrise combo deck, but doubt it. So our traditional combo hate cards won't work If I see a rise in Hivemind, I'm adding 3 Canonists/Rule of Law to the sb.
Pretty sure rule of law costs 3 and canonist costs 2. One see's absolutely zero play in legacy and the other at least see's SB play against combo.
You're forgetting dragonstorm in modern. Dragonstorm is a deck believe it or not or at least it should be one since aggro loses to d.storm pretty hard. In fact, dragonstorm is one of the top decks IMO if you were to tweak it and playtest it a lot it would be a contender.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
I was talking about Dragonstorm last night online. I think it has a great shot at being T1. For me, the Ghostly Prisons and Leylines should suffice in keeping them at bay long enough to win. I bought 10 Dragonstorms last night just to try and turn a profit once it comes online on the 24h...lol

Round 3
Darkblade
Game 1: Titan and Emeria getting back Walls and Martyrs lock this up.
SB in 3 Disenchant, 2 Needles
Game 2 starts off great for me as I have 2 hate cards, Staff, 2 Walls, and Prison. By T3 i didn't have anything cuz of IoK and Therapy. I stall out enough and win on the back of Titans and Pegasus
