Mono W - Elesh norn by thuja13

Format: Commander

Commander: Elesh Norn // The Argent Etchings

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-white Phyrexian tribal deck wins by swarming 1/1 Mite tokens with toxic 1 and grinding opponents to 10 poison with proliferate. It makes Mites every turn from Skrelv's Hive, Basilica Shepherd, and incubate tokens, then doubles them with Mondrak and anthems from Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Elesh Norn // The Argent Etchings is a deterrent and one-sided board wipe, not the engine: front face taxes damage and flips by sacrificing three creatures, back face as a Saga creates five 2/2 Phyrexians, gives double strike, then destroys all non-Phyrexian, non-artifact permanents. Mondrak acts as hidden commander for token doubling. Secondary wins come from anthem-boosted combat after the Saga's Chapter II or III.
