Deck Description

This is a deck that I have been working on for sometime now and I feel I finally a got a good enough build that feels consistent.

Mono-White Control

How to Play

The big thing about the deck is screwing up combat as much as possible. Celestial Flare, Arrows of Justice, Divine Verdict really keep you opponents on edge on what to attack and defend with. Last Breath is really strong in the early game and can really mess with Aggro Strategies and Mana dorks however it is usually one of the first to go to the sideboard if it lacks targets to hit.
Banisher Priest is quite possibly my favorite card in MTG, and just adds another element to the control strategy, Birmaz is just way to good to pass up and the synergy with Spear is amazing. All of your permanents have a double (W) in the CMC so getting Heliod online is usually not an issue.

Deck discussion for Mono (W) Control

I love where the deck is right now as far as main board but I am still really iffy on the side board. Currently with I have I can board in faster creatures in those control match-ups but outside of that I am kind of lost on what else to put there. Comments, Suggestions, Likes are always welcome

I think the main board is pretty awesome. I can see the" iffyness" of the sideboard, because it just seems like it takes care of one kind of creature heavy metagame. Have you thought about Boros Reckoner? I think that would fit wonderfully, and I'd throw in a few of the scry lands, and maybe even some sacred forge... or whatever the red/white shock land is... the name is lost on me at the moment. You could add some pretty cool control with anger of the gods and the elspeth combo (Greater than 4 or less than 3 that's pretty cool imo) I also think, even though it costs a bunch of mana, you have less things you'd need to spend mana on late game, a few nykthos shrines and a devout invocation with something like ogre battledriver would take it over the top, there are many other combos, but that;s my take on red/white. super strong at the moment. also. angel of serenity would work wonders.

The red splash also offers assemble the legion and Boros Charm. :)

Silence is a pretty weak card, something like Blind Obedience would be a lot better.
