Die Bengals bleiben mit einem Sieg über die Steelers, deren Talfahrt sich am Ende der Saison fortsetzt, für die Playoffs am Leben

Die Pittsburgh Steelers haben das Glück, zehn Spiele zuvor gewonnen zu haben. Sie könnten vor der Offseason bei 10 Siegen feststecken. Die Steelers sind auseinandergefallen und haben erneut eine schreckliche Leistung gezeigt, bei der die Offensive größtenteils unfähig war. Die Steelers verloren am Samstagabend mit 19:17 gegen die Cincinnati Bengals, die ihre entfernten Playoff-Hoffnungen am Leben…

Super Weenie Hut Jr.

With the release of Dominaria, white has received a very strong boost. Because of this a Mono-White Aggro deck also known by its pet name “White Weenies” has been a relatively hot topic. A lot of the more esteemed writers in the community think that Mono-White falls just short of a tier deck. I respectfully disagree, with the right “brewing” I feel that Mono-White could definitely be a contender for Dominaria standards meta. So lets take a critical look at the color white and what could help take this next level. 

Going on the Offense  

Being an Aggro deck, it will need low drop creatures. I mean it’s an Aggro deck, attacking is the name of the game. Aggro decks work best when the curve is low so the majority of our creatures should be in the one to two drop slots. Great candidates are Sacred Cat which not only has lifelink to gain you life but also embalm to give it more longevity. Dauntless Bodyguard which is a great 2/1 for a white and can protect a creature of your choosing. The two drop slot is really where the deck shines. Adanto Vanguard is a strong choice increasing its power to a 3/1 when attacking and for four life it can become indestructible. Adorned Pouncer is another good choice having double strike and eternalize making it a 4/4 when coming from the graveyard. Bishop's Soldier is a solid choice being a “Bear” with the upside of lifelink. Glory-Bound Initiate is a personal favorite being able to pump itself to a 4/4 and gain life link when exerted. Finally, Knight of Grace is a popular choice being able to dodge black removal. All of these could have a place in the deck and are on curve for early attacks.

Going Wide

We’re in white and one of the best things about white is that you can generate tons of tokens! Kaladesh, Amonkhet, Ixalan, and Dominaria all have token synergy in white and we can definitely take advantage of this because of the wide card pool. Starting off with one drops we would be crazy not to play Legion's Landing it makes a token when it enters the battlefield and when it flips we have access to a land that makes more tokens. Cartouche of Solidarity complements the Landing by giving our creatures +1/+1 and first strike as well as making us a token. Kaladesh helps out by giving us Servo Exhibition and Sram's Expertise which give us a ton of servos to work with.  History of Benalia is one of if not the most hyped cards of Dominaria and rightfully so. Giving us two tokens and a boost it fits well into the deck. Oketra the True could also fit well being able to block other Gods and gives us a way to make more tokens. Finally a new land, Memorial to Glory, also furthers our go wide strategy. With all of these tokens this unlocks a lot of potentially powerful cards.   

Rising to the Occasion

We went wide so now lets go tall. Since we went wide we might as well use the ascend mechanic to our advantage. Because of this Skymarcher Aspirant and Snubhorn Sentry fit nicely into the deck. The real pay off for this deck though is Pride of Conquerors which is a +1/+1 pump spell but with ascend it becomes +2/+2 which is amazing. Trial of Solidarity is also a great pump spell giving +2/+1 and combos well with Cartouche of Solidarity coming back to the hand when played. Arguably the best anthem effect comes from Benalish Marshal, a knight that boosts all other creatures +1/+1. Finishing the pump spells we have Shefet Dunes the desert that sacs for another +1/+1. Finally we will need removal to “Rise to the Occasion” I’m personally a fan of Ixalan’s Binding and Seal Away for white removal. And if you’re going up against other “go wide decks” Fumigate and Settle the Wreckage are great choices.

 In Conclusion

I think people are writing this deck off too quick. Mono white has a lot of cards it can draw from. This deck has the potential to go wide and then tall to put a ton of damage on the board. Mono White is the type of deck I like to play and I think that it’s going to be my pet deck for the format. Over all theres so much potential for this deck to break into the meta and I’m excited to try and do that. What do you all think about Mono White? Is it the next big thing or is it just a passing trend? Also what are you all thinking about brewing this format? And as always have a great morning/afternoon/evening!
