Mono-White Humans And More!
The Boss doesn’t like decks that can make Top 32 and Top 16; he wants to win the trophy or pump the gas for the trip home. Mono-White Humans is one of the archetypes he’s used to reduce the space on his mantle, and he’s pretty sure Amonkhet is going to put that strategy back in the hunt!
