Howdy! Welcome to Daily Arena. I’m Joe, and since rotation is upon us next week, I thought I’d share the “rotation-proof” Mono-White Ascend deck I’ve been playing. It’s a deck you can play all weekend, export, and then import and immediately start playing again on the 27th.

I’ll start with the deck list, and some gameplay videos, followed by some thoughts about my experience with the deck.

Here is the deck list:



Mono-White Ascend

And here are some game play videos:

vs. R/B Midrange



vs. R/W Aggro



vs. Grixis Midrange



vs. U/B Control



Competitive Constructed



This is a standard White Weenies “play a bunch of creatures and pump them” deck, with a life gain subtheme. Baffling End is the only removal in the main deck. You can sideboard in more removal or other plan disruption cards such as Sorcerous Spyglass as needed. Swap out Pride of Conquerors for Make a Stand when your opponent is blowing up your weenies too quickly (i.e. against Goblin Chainwhirler).

This is probably the last set of videos I’ll be posting until after rotation/wipe. I’ll take a look into some possible new decks in the meantime and plan to return with more detailed deck techs and possibly a weekly gameplay stream.

What are you going to be playing in Open Beta?

As always, feel free to contact me with any criticisms, comments, etc., either here, on Reddit, on Twitter via @DailyArena, or on Facebook via the @DailyArenaMTG page.

Peace.
