Deck overview

This mono-white deck pairs Rasaad yn Bashir with the Far Traveler Background to turn high-toughness creatures into massive combat threats. Rasaad enables your creatures to deal combat damage using their toughness instead of their power. When Rasaad attacks while you hold the initiative, his ability doubles the toughness of your entire board until end of turn. Far Traveler provides recurring value by blinking tapped creatures on your end step, reusing enter-the-battlefield triggers from card-draw walls, removal permanents, and initiative enablers. The deck leverages asymmetric sweepers like Slaughter the Strong and Wave of Reckoning to wipe out opposing boards while leaving its low-power defenders untouched. Once the Undercity dungeon engine is rolling, the deck rapidly builds insurmountable board presence and closes games through explosive combat swings. While dependent on maintaining the initiative and vulnerable to heavy creature removal, the deck generates surprising burst damage and steady card advantage in mono-white.
