Last updated on December 21, 2025

The term “white weenie” from the early Magic days is used to describe white decks that fill the board with small creatures and try to win early and fast. One of the most defining aspects of white’s slice of the color pie is that it’s the main creature color in MTG. It's the color that gets the most creatures overall, and it’s a very creature-oriented color, especially for aggro decks.

Most white aggressive and midrange decks are filled to the brim with creatures, and each set adds another white rare or mythic creature to the “best white creature” conversation. Today I'm looking at the best white creatures across MTG history, ones that see play in various Constructed formats from Standard to Vintage. This list has angels, hate bears, token makers, and all kinds of white creature flavor.

Let’s dive in!

What Are White Creatures in MTG?

Sun Titan (Magic 2011) | Illustration by Todd Lockwood

White creatures are ones with a mono-white color identity, which means the only colorled mana symbols that appear in their cost and rules text is . White creatures play lots of roles in different decks, whether attacking or blocking, and they usually disrupt your opponents’ plans along the way.

The color identity restriction means I'm excluding powerful transforming double-faced cards like Archangel Avacyn and Brutal Cathar since they have red backsides.

They also see play in lots of different typal decks, “death and taxes” strategies, lifegain, and prison/stax. Another common characteristic is to require or in their mana costs to reinforce the “mono-color matters” or devotion builds. White creatures also tend to have lots of evergreen abilities like flying, first strike, lifelink, and more.

#60. Leonin Arbiter

Leonin Arbiter is a tax on tutor and search effects. Your opponents won’t be able to fetch their lands or tutor for their combo while the Arbiter is there unless they pay 2 mana more.

Note that this affects you too, but hey, you’re the mono-white player.

#59. Academy Rector

Academy Rector debuted in Constructed as a way to cheat expensive enchantments like Yawgmoth's Bargain into play. Today you can use it to cheat Omniscience or maybe Overwhelming Splendor, so the Rector can still be part of these combos.

#58. Resplendent Angel

Besides being a good beater as a 3/3 flier for 3, Resplendent Angel is a payoff for lifegain strategies, effectively making 4/4 angels if you gain 5+ life. It can even trigger itself via the activated ability.

#57. Aven Mindcensor

Flash Aven Mindcensor in response to your opponent trying to search their library. It’s only a 2/1 flier, but they have to find what they want in the top four cards. It gets even better in EDH since it’s a much smaller chance they find the right cards.

From now on while the Mindcensor is in play, only you can search libraries effectively.

#56. Mentor of the Meek

Mentor of the Meek is one of white’s best card draw engines. All it needs is a creature with power 2 or less to ETB. Playing small creatures can give you a lot of cards, and Rhys the Redeemed alone can get enough Mentor fodder to draw cards.

#55. Spectacular Spider-Man

Cheap flash creatures always offer great versatility since you can hold them up alongside interaction. Spectacular Spider-Man’s high power, evasion, and strong protection ability combine to make it particularly enticing. It just does so much: You can protect key threats, apply early pressure, or use flying to sneak through the last few points of damage.

#54. Grand Abolisher

Grand Abolisher is worth mentioning because of its unique ability. It works like a Teferi, Time Raveler of sorts. During your turn you won’t need to worry about any combat tricks, removal spells, or counterspells. Myrel, Shield of Argive is a much more powerful card, but also at twice the cost.

#53. Eagles of the North

All of the landcyclers from Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth deserve respect. You can argue that Eagles of the North is the weakest, and you’d likely win that argument, but the weakest of a powerful cycle still warrants some consideration. This bird soldier’s basically a modal card: Sometimes this is a tapped white source, and sometimes it enables a finishing attack.

#52. Archon of Sun's Grace

Archon of Sun's Grace is a 3/4 flying lifelink creature that makes you a 2/2 flying lifelinker every time you trigger constellation. That’s a little army in an enchantment-heavy deck.

That’s a lot of life to be gained too if you have lifelink synergies.

#51. Hero of Bladehold

Hero of Bladehold is an army in a can. It’s a 3/4, but every time it attacks it brings two other tokens, which benefit from the battle cry trigger. Make sure you stack your triggers right so the buff applies to the newly created tokens.

#50. Overlord of the Mistmoors

Four mana for two flying 2/1 tokens is a fine deal for a token generator in white, but I need a bit more to be excited to play that card. Luckily, Duskmourn‘s Overlord of the Mistmoors does provide more: an impending 6/6 body that makes more tokens if you give it a little time. This avatar horror has proven its worth in Standard as a mid-to-late-game threat that also doubles as a reanimation target for Yuna, Hope of Spira

#49. Battle Angels of Tyr

Speaking of making tokens, Battle Angels of Tyr is one of the few good cards with the myriad mechanic. Every time the angels attack, you make a copy of them attacking every other player. Not only that, but each hit from a Battle Angel can give you cards, Treasure, or life.

#48. Archon of Emeria

Archon of Emeria is a flying hate bear that’s reasonably stated as a 2/3 flier for 3 mana, and the “each player can’t cast more than one spell” text is excellent in EDH. There you are, defending yourself from combos and greedy players who want to cast lots of spells, effectively bringing a game to a halt. Which is why you’re playing the archon in the first place, although nonbasic land hate also helps to slow things down.

#47. Knight-Errant of Eos

Knight-Errant of Eos gives token or other go-wide decks access to what amounts to a 4/4 Divination. It saw plenty of Standard play, but anything that goes wide and is creature heavy gets away with running this powerful threat. A mostly free 4/4 that draws cards is hard for your opponents to keep up with, especially since you can sandbag the threats to play around a sweeper.

#46. Iona, Shield of Emeria

A giant angel that locks players from casting spells of a certain color has got to be good, right? Too bad it costs .

Iona, Shield of Emeria used to be a good reanimation target in Modern, especially against heavy mono-colored decks. There’s also the Painter's Servant lock, where you set all spells to be the same color and now people can’t play spells at all.

#45. Karmic Guide

Karmic Guide is a 2/2 flier that’s also a reanimate spell. Usually most Zombify effects cost 4-5 mana, so the extra 2/2 flier is nice.

Considering that there are ways to Reveillark this (since it’s a 2/2) and other shenanigans, you can set up all sorts of infinite combos and reanimation loops with the Guide, generating extra mana, death triggers, and more.

#44. Lion Sash

Lion Sash is like a white Scavenging Ooze; the only difference is that it’s an artifact and starts as a 1/1. But it serves the same purpose, really.

You’ll exile cards from graveyards and put counters on it. And it has the reconfigure mechanic, so it can also be an equipment. Lion Sash is one more tool for the already versatile white creature decks.

#43. Steelburr Champion

Steelburr Champion is a Commander card through and through, and I think it’s quite mighty despite its small size. A white offspring creature like this spirals out of control with little effort and white’s plethora of cards that care about or double tokens and counters puts it in a perfect place to exploit this mouse.

#42. Tataru Taru

Cards that let your opponent draw are usually best avoided, but we can make an exception for Tataru Taru due to its incredible mana production. It’s specifically powerful in Commander, with three opponents to draw mind-boggling numbers of cards with Rhystic Study and The One Ring and so on.

#41. Serra Paragon

Serra Paragon is a 3/4 flier that gives you the Lurrus of the Dream-Den effect. It’s very powerful to cast a big flier and get a 1- to 3-drop back, or maybe replay a fetch land. It can be any kind of permanent, so you can recover artifacts like Reckoner Bankbuster, equipment, or even 3-mana planeswalkers like Liliana of the Veil.

#40. Soul Sisters

Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant have always been staples in white lifegain decks. Lunarch Veteran is in the conversation too, with the disturb mechanic as upside. You usually see a bunch of these “soul sister” cards together in the same decks.

These little innocuous guys can gain so much life while triggering all your lifegain synergies. The constant lifegain triggers are the root of decks playing cards like Serra Ascendant, Voice of the Blessed, or Trelasarra, Moon Dancer. You can also draw cards with Dawn of Hope more frequently.

#39. Serra Ascendant

So there’s this format called EDH, and I’ve heard it’s quite popular. There, Serra Ascendant is a 6/6 from the start for only 1 mana! Glorious!

Most players already call the Ascendant overpowered in EDH, and there’s some argument to it. But it also dies to Doom Blade, and there are much better threats out there. You can play it in lifegain decks in Modern too. It’s easy to get from 20 to 30 life in the right lifegain deck.

#38. Sram, Senior Edificer

Sram, Senior Edificer’s main contribution is getting a card back every time you play an aura, equipment, or vehicle. You can build a Voltron strategy full of cheap auras/equipment and draw a bunch of cards in EDH decks.

Or you can have combos with Aetherflux Reservoir and Mystic Forge, which allow you to draw and play a bunch of cards, and repeat the process until the Reservoir kills everyone.

#37. Reveillark

Another famous combo piece in white is Reveillark. You return up to two target creature cards with power 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield when it leaves play. That can happen via the evoke ability, a sacrifice outlet, or naturally in combat.

And then there’s a bunch of targets you can recover, from Mulldrifter to Karmic Guide. Or maybe something related to sacrifice and recursion, like Eternal Witness and Viscera Seer.

#36. Timeless Dragon

Timeless Dragon has two different modes. The first one is to cycle it for and then eternalize it for , which indirectly creates a 5/5 for 4 that draws a card. That’s already good.

The other part is to cast it for 5 mana, and then you can get a second body via eternalize. You're either getting two dragons in one card, or a dragon and an extra card.

#35. The Gaffer

White lifegain decks are eternally popular, regardless of whether they’re actually good. If you want the strategy to work, you need solid lifegain payoffs. I’m happy to recommend The Gaffer for one of those slots. You can never have too much card draw! Many lifegain payoffs care about gaining 3-4 life in a single turn, so this white halfling can be part of a powerful value engine when you throw it together with the likes of Griffin Aerie and The Book of Exalted Deeds.

#34. Kytheon, Hero of Akros

A 2/1 for has been a playable creature since the times of Savannah Lions. Kytheon, Hero of Akros takes that concept up an extra notch.

First, you can pay to make it indestructible. The second benefit is that Kytheon transforms into Gideon, Battle-Forged if you attack with three or more creatures. This solves the fundamental issue of a 1-drop falling off later in the game.

#33. Giada, Font of Hope

Giada, Font of Hope is a 2/2 flier for 2 mana. But it’s also an angel lord in disguise, and angel is a common creature type in white decks, which makes Giada all the more desirable. You can ramp into other angels and add +1/+1 counters with this excellent white commander.

#32. Charismatic Conqueror

White’s disruptive creatures are among its best features. I love Charismatic Conqueror. This white vampire disrupts hands relying on mana rocks to curve out and open the door to aggressive attacks you wouldn’t have if they had blockers. If they decide to give you tokens, well, white excels at exploiting them. You can’t lose, which is pretty impressive for a 2-mana play.

#31. Anointed Peacekeeper

Anointed Peacekeeper is a 3/3 with vigilance for 3, which isn’t that common in white. You also get a tax effect. You’ll be able to see your opponent’s hand, choose a card, and tax it, whether they're casting it or using its non-mana activated abilities.

And a little detail: The chosen card doesn’t need to be in play or in hand, so even if your opponent doesn’t have that wrath, you can still tax it.

#30. Moonshaker Cavalry

It’s Craterhoof Behemoth, but white. While flying is arguably more powerful than trample, if only because it saves you any time spent declaring blockers that never soak up enough damage, this white spirit knight from Wilds of Eldraine is worse than the Hoof.

Between tutors like Green Sun's Zenith and Natural Order and the plethora of ramp available to green decks, the OG is just more castable. But Moonshaker Cavalry, one of the best ETB cards in white, is inarguably a powerful finisher for any white deck playing to the board.

#29. Drannith Magistrate

Remember that format called EDH, where people want to cast their commanders from the command zone? Except that you can’t because Drannith Magistrate won’t allow it.

The Magistrate works with other stuff too, so players can’t use red “impulsive draw effects”, and you can’t cast anything from graveyards or from the top of your library, just to name a few interactions this Game Changer shuts down.

#28. Containment Priest

Containment Priest’s sole purpose is to deny things from happening. It delays combos like Flash + Protean Hulk, foils cards like Show and Tell, or effects that state “return target creature to the battlefield.” It can even be flashed in response to an opposing blink effect.

#27. Cosmogrand Zenith

Wizards adores 3-mana 2/4s with abilities that run away with the game when left unchecked, and Cosmogrand Zenith ranks among the strongest. It both goes wide and rewards you for doing so; this is terrifying on turn 3 or 4, when it floods the board, or on turn 8 when its counters put enough power on the board to win. You can’t ask for much more out of a fair 3-drop.

#26. Cloud, Midgar Mercenary

Cloud, Midgar Mercenary dares to ask what a legendary Stoneforge Mystic would look like, and the result is pretty sick. Tutoring up equipment on ETB makes it a reasonable two-for-one and a great value engine once you factor in white’s many flicker effects. Doubling your equipment abilities gives it teeth to perform in EDH, where cheap creatures can get overshadowed by more explosive plays.

#25. Sun Titan

Sun Titan is a 6/6. It has also vigilance. In white. That’s already a good threat, but we’re talking Limited good. What sets the cycle of Titans apart from other creatures is that you’ll get a good ETB effect, and an attack trigger.

What can you do with Sun Titan? You can get permanents back to the battlefield (and that includes fetch lands), creatures that ETB and draw a card, auras, and removal spells like Oblivion Ring. Combine these into a single card and you get one of the best giants in MTG and a staple for formats like EDH, Modern, and the like.

#24. Elite Spellbinder

3/1 flying is already a fast clock, but the most annoying part of dealing with Elite Spellbinder is that it makes you pay more on a given card, so it’s a nice disruptive element for aggro decks. And it’s a human, which means that it can be played in typal decks like Modern humans.

#23. Generous Pup

Somebody on Wizards’ card design team loves +1/+1 counters because the archetype has been getting incredible tools for a while. Generous Pup does a ludicrous amount of work for 2 mana, turning a single +1/+1 counter into a team-wide buff. The need to have other creatures keeps it fair, but a 2-mana vigilance creature is still a decent body, especially with that ceiling so high I can barely see it.

#22. Delney, Streetwise Lookout

Ability doublers, even ones as restricted as Murders at Karlov Manor‘s Delney, Streetwise Lookout, provide an avalanche of value. White has plenty of small yet powerful creatures with triggers worth doubling. Twice the Clues off Thraben Inspector, handling two threats with the likes of Loran of the Third Path and Skyclave Apparition, or simply drawing two cards with Spirited Companion and Helpful Hunter are all worth paying 3 mana for.

And you get a bit of evasion to race bigger creatures with!

#21. Skyclave Apparition

Skyclave Apparition has the power to exile any nonland permanent with mana value 4 or less. The downside is giving your opponent a token with the same size as the mana value. That looks like a big drawback, but it isn’t.

What’s worse to deal with? A Jace, the Mind Sculptor, or a 4/4? An Aether Vial, or a 1/1? Formats like Modern and Pioneer usually require you to deal with lots of different permanents, and the flexibility of Skyclave is king in those cases.

#20. Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Part big creature, part Panharmonicon. Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines isn’t dying that easily thanks to the 7 toughness, and it doubles all your triggers while denying your opponents’. But which triggers?

ETB triggers from permanents you play like Mulldrifter, or cards that care about other permanents entering the battlefield, like Soul Warden. This effect is very powerful on a commander because of the deckbuilding possibilities and the ability to mess with opponents trying to benefit from those triggers.

#19. Voice of Victory

Voice of Victory has quickly become a powerful threat in many formats, from Vintage Cube to Standard. Its combination of disruption and pressure makes it a nasty threat to see early. Since most of its aggression is wrapped up in tokens, one blocker often isn’t enough, and it even has moderate synergy with cards like Skullclamp and Guide of Souls.

#18. Beza, the Bounding Spring

Perhaps my favorite addition to Standard, Bloomburrow‘s Beza, the Bounding Spring packs loads of value into a single 4-mana white creature.

At its best, this 4-mana 4/5 draws a card, gains life, and makes two fish tokens, but any combination of those abilities provides great value. This elemental elk single-handedly stabilizes you from many losing board states and can be an intriguing flicker target. I imagine this is one of, if not the best catch-up cards in white.

#17. Mother of Runes + Giver of Runes

These two are very similar cards so I grouped them together. Giver of Runes is the Modern-legal version of Mother of Runes (also called Mom), and its role is to protect a particular creature. Usually decks that want certain creatures to stay together on the battlefield and combo off also want four copies.

Need your Devoted Druid to stay alive? Giver of Runes will protect it. Need your Puresteel Paladin alive to reduce the cost of equipment? Ditto. The two cards are almost equal; the main difference is the creature stats and the fact that “Mom” can protect itself too.

#16. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar

An all-star while it was in Standard, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar’s time in the sun hasn’t ended with the Standard rotation. Adeline can be an invaluable token producer in EDH since it makes three attacking human tokens just waiting to be doubled or buffed. It works as a premium threat in Cube as well, especially since it impacts the board the same turn it enters.

#15. Puresteel Paladin

Puresteel Paladin, besides drawing cards when equipment ETBs, lowers the equip cost to . This is great synergy with equipment that have expensive equip costs (Colossus Hammer comes to mind).

Suddenly Skullclamp costs zero to move around, and you can run cheerio equipment to draw cards, like Kite Shield or Accorder's Shield.

#14. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is a 2-drop that sees play in almost every format. The constant tax effect is annoying as hell to play against, and the 2/1 first strike body is relevant. Suddenly your 2-mana removal spell costs 3, or your wrath costs 5, and it’s almost impossible to deal with what your opponent is up to.

Considering that formats like Legacy and Vintage are very focused on combo, Thalia’s presence is mandatory to slow them down or prevent opponents from going infinite.

#13. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

White has its fair share of small creatures, so let’s talk big.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is high on the list because, well, it’s one of the premier reanimation targets. Elesh Norn enters the battlefield and straight up kills any number of small creatures while bolstering your own. You’ve just created a +4/+4 advantage for your team.

You’ll also shut down whatever shenanigans your opponents are planning with sacrifice outlets and small creatures.

#12. Palace Jailer

The real value of Palace Jailer and what sets it apart is that it can make you the monarch, which is free card draw every turn in white (in the worst card draw color, no less). It’s a twist on Fiend Hunter-style cards, in that you exile a creature when it ETBs, but the creature is exiled while you’re the monarch.

Palace Jailer also prevents you from quickly losing the monarchy. The monarch mechanic is very busted in 1v1, and some combo/control decks can’t really take it from you that easily. This card can also easily be flickered/blinked if you need to recover the monarch.

#11. Guide of Souls

2024 reiterated a lesson I thought we all learned in 2017: Energy is busted. Modern Horizons 3 shook up multiple Magic formats with a surge of new energy cards, with Guide of Souls standing out as one of the best. Arguably the strongest Soul Warden variant in the game, this white cleric turns any creature into an angelic threat worthy of Serra herself. Commander players, don’t even worry about playing other energy cards; if you’re happy with a Soul Sister, you should play this.

#10. Heliod, Sun-Crowned

Heliod, Sun-Crowned is a very good card in prison and lifegain decks because it can fulfill those roles very well, and it's one of Magic's best mono-white commanders.

The pushed white Theros Beyond Death god excels as part of a two-card creature combo that outright wins the game with Walking Ballista. Spike Feeder and Collected Company can complement this plan well and win on the spot in a lot of games.

#9. Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd

Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd is as deadly as it is adorable. The attack trigger has endless versatility. Perhaps you flicker something like Quantum Riddler or Novice Inspector for value, or you kill an opposing token, or just remove a blocker so you can attack for lethal. It’s an exceptional value engine that applies plenty of pressure for a negligible mana cost.

#8. Novice Inspector + Thraben Inspector

Thraben Inspector has long been one of white’s best creatures, acting as a staple in Pauper and Cube and even pulling its weight in Commander as a cheap blink target/token creator/artifact generator. I was ecstatic to see a functional reprint in Novice Inspector.

The charm lies in the curve. Thraben Inspector can be a 1-drop and a 2-drop in a single card, or a 3-drop if paid for all at once. Since it only costs 1 mana, you can easily weave it into a turn where you have a spare mana. The Clue can be cracked straight away or held up as something to do in lieu of casting an instant-speed interactive spell. It just does everything you could want from a 1-drop.

#7. Restoration Angel

Whether with Thragtusk or Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Restoration Angel has been a protagonist of many powerful decks. Besides its obvious blink synergies and possible infinite combos, Restoration Angel is very nice as a surprise blocker and a threat to end the game.

#6. Stoneforge Mystic

Developer tip: Giving white access to tutoring a card and putting it into the battlefield is strong (Tinker), even if it requires multiple steps. Stoneforge Mystic does that with equipment, preferably those that have mechanics like living weapon or for Mirrodin!, which are put into your hand and later onto the battlefield.

What’s more, you can have an equipment toolbox for each occasion. This kor artificer has been a white staple ever since it was printed, and WotC won’t stop printing more powerful targets.

#5. Esper Sentinel

MTG players cried out that white needs more card draw, especially in EDH. WotC listened.

Esper Sentinel can draw up a handful of cards each turn cycle in EDH, provided that your opponents are playing spells and aren’t paying their taxes. It’s synergistic with equipment and +1/+1 counters too since that raises the taxes players need to pay and your odds of drawing cards.

#4. Monastery Mentor

Restricted in Vintage, Monastery Mentor is one of the best prowess cards and therefore an excellent payoff for a spells-matter deck. You’ll make a token every time you cast a noncreature spell. And not just any token, but a token with prowess. That’s like Young Pyromancer on steroids, which can quickly win a game.

#3. Ocelot Pride

I’ve seen many people refer to Ocelot Pride as the white Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer. While Ocelot Pride isn’t quite that busted, I see the similarity: If either of these cards aren’t answered, they win the game with little effort. If you play this white cat in a token shell (which isn’t required), it doesn’t even become irrelevant in the late game because it serves as a 1-mana token doubler with any other card that gains life.

#2. White Plume Adventurer

White Plume Adventurer is the cheapest creature with the initiative mechanic. Like cards with monarch, the quicker it's put online the better, and these multiplayer-focused mechanics tend to overperform in 1v1 scenarios.

Initiative decks dominated tournament scenes after the printing of White Plume Adventurer, to the point of putting a white creature deck in the Vintage scene. It was finally banned in Legacy and thus deserves a high spot on the list.

#1. Solitude

At the very least, Solitude is a Swords to Plowshares variant, an effect that’s not even available in Modern. The 3/2 flash lifelink that comes with the removal isn’t bad either since you’ll recover life loss. But that’s just the surface.

You get an elemental that can be flickered and used to remove lots of creatures on the board. And there’s also Ephemerate. It’s a removal spell that also happens to be one of Magic's best lifelink creatures.

Best White Creature Payoffs and Synergies

The first way to take full advantage/bolster white creature strategies is Armageddon, and the reasoning is simple. Fast white creature strategies usually start with small but powerful creatures. If you already have a board advantage and destroy all the lands in play, your opponents have fewer resources to kill your creatures or wrath the board, so you’ll maintain your advantage. If your creatures cost 1-2 mana, why do you need that many lands anyway?

You can further mess with your opponents’ lands with Strip Mine and Wasteland.

Protect your already established board from mass removal using cards like Selfless Spirit and Teferi's Protection. White isn’t really the color of counterspells, but a well-placed Mana Tithe can do the job just fine.

Honor of the Pure gives all your white creatures +1/+1. Effects like Glorious Anthem usually cost 3 mana, so this is a good discount. Wedding Announcement, a former Standard all-star, does all of that and gives you tokens and cards.

Intangible Virtue is a good payoff for a token strategy since a lot of good white weenie strategies use creature tokens. Flowering of the White Tree and Lumen-Class Frigate provide additional cheap anthem effects.

White creatures often care about equipment, so it’s worth considering which are worth running. Lavaspur Boots provides surprisingly robust protection plus haste, while Shadowspear provides excellent stats for its cost. Creatures that cheat equip costs love Colossus Hammer’s absurd power boost. Notably, these are all tutorable with Urza's Saga.

Cathars' Crusade is a good card to run if your deck is very creature-centric. Your little army will grow very, very fast with each new creature.

Planeswalkers like Elspeth, Storm Slayer, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and The Wandering Emperor usually complement a creature strategy well by pumping your creatures, giving evasion, or destroying opposing creatures.

It’s common to see white creature strategies have typal payoffs. History of Benalia is a very good card in a knights deck, while Thalia's Lieutenant is very good in a humans build.

If you have a sizable force, you can’t go wrong with mass pump effects like Rally the Peasants or Heroic Reinforcements, provided you're in the right colors.

Wrap Up

Solitude | Illustration by Evan Shipard

That’s all from me on white creatures today. White weenie strategies are as old as MTG itself, and there’s usually a Standard white weenie deck that’s at least competitive. White's been doing much better across all formats as of late. And yes, a lot of the entries in this list have been printed in the last two years, showing white’s recent power creep.

Now I want to hear from you. Which of your favorite white creatures didn’t make the list? I know some of mine didn’t make it. Let me know in the comments below, or let’s take the discussion to the Draftsim Discord.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the next one!
