NOT MINE

Hey everyone!
My name is Bncbck, and I just wanted to share my brew of mono white storm deck that storms off with genuine real instants and sorceries. It's been a project and a half to get running, but I'm decently proud of its current state!
Commander: Eight-and-a-Half-Tails

As a background, I started EDH being inundated with how much white sucks in EDH, so naturally I learned to make mono white decks at literally all levels, and genuinely I feel that people don't respect the strengths of white enough>>
Which brings us to storm. and why our dear 8.5 tails is the commander here.
It absolutely started as a meme, but the more I thought about it, the only thing more annoying that storm is storm that can rebuff removal for its pieces with impunity, 3 mana and oops 95% of removal just plain doesn't work, one of white's best abilities is just getting people to not mess with your stuff
Oswald Fiddlebender is definitely a more aggressive option for a commander, but lacks the same tenacity as fox friend.
The game plan is to storm off with 2 specific spells: Reaping the Rewards and Pegasus Stampede, using buyback to sacrifice your entire landbase and recur them with Faith's Reward and similar spells, and using self-untapping creatures with Paradise Mantle along with cost reducers along the way.
The wincons of the deck are Sphinx-Bone Wand, Sentinel Tower, Monastery Mentor and of course, Aetherflux Reservoir
Highlights:
Using mass card draw such as Truce and Temporary Truce with Smothering Tithe and Alhammarret's Archive, which may be the one time those spells have seen unironic use
Build-a-Birgi by tutoring for Paradise Mantle, attaching them to bois that untap with every spell cast: Ballynock Trapper, Leonin Battlemage or Famished Paladin
Recur not only your landbase, but cards such as Pursuit of Knowledge, Memory Jar and Credit Voucher, routinely drawing out your entire deck
Anti disruption already built in the colors, with Grand Abolisher and Silence leading the pack.
It's nice to play a graveyard deck that has the ability to pack some enchantment removal as required
It's intensely funny to watch the table gang up to pile on enough removal to get rid of your pieces, only to Sudden Salvation everything back into place
Last but not least, it's monowhite storm, I guarantee nobody will ever take you seriously until it's too late
Thanks a bunch for reading till this point, and I'm always keen to tinker more with the deck so let me know your thoughts and suggestions too! <3
