Looking for help with a win-con for eight-and-a-half tails

 avatar
{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi folks, hoping for some help and advice for this deck. It is doing a decent job of disrupting other players but just doesn't seem to have a win-con. I am looking for some suggestions to make it a bit more \"punchy\" for lack of a better word. The way it has been playing is that it is keeping me from getting attacked (except when I put Luminarch Ascension down, of course) but can't seem to get over the top. The few wins have come from an early Luminarch and and a Tithe against a Madness deck which basically got me so much mana I could just protect everything and attack away. I really like the non-flying lockdown aspect so I would like to explore/expand upon that theme if possible. \n\nFWIW: This is actually my first ever DIY deck build so I am also eager for building tips and strategies. Watching the podcasts is great but I suspect not as good as a real life example for yourself.\n\nThanks in advance!\n\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/523812#Mono_White_-_Eight_and_a_Half_Tails"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/523812#Mono_White_-_Eight_and_a_Half_Tails"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Awesome start!! I was just wondering why "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Consecrate Land"}},{"insert":" is in the deck. Anyway, I was thinking that you might want "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cathars' Crusade"}},{"insert":" because you have a lot of creatures. Additionally, you should consider "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Avacyn, Angel of Hope"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite"}},{"insert":".\n\n\n\nGood luck!!!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Thanks, WhirlPool. I have all of those cards and will see about getting them in. Now that you mention it, the Consecrate Land is not yet useful since I haven't done the work on my Mana Base yet. This ecxercise revealed I have been very good at cataloging everything but my lands. I can basically get my hands on the right binder for any other card type quickly. I have allowed my lands to be spread across the four winds.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi :) \n\nAnother way to be more punchy will be to completely lock your board from getting touched. You already have \"Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant\", so your creatures won't get any damage. Good ! You can make a combo with \"Protector of the Crown\" (a creature : "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Conspiracy-Take-the-Crown/Protector-of-the-Crown"},"insert":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Conspiracy-Take-the-Crown/Protector-of-the-Crown"},{"insert":"), who will redirect damage you would take to him, but thanks to Rune-Tail, he won't take damage. So you can basically attack whenever you want without having to keep any blockers. You can protect this combo with your commander. \n\nInstead of the \"Caged Sun\", maybe something like an \"Immortal Sun\" ("},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Rivals-of-Ixalan/The-Immortal-Sun"},"insert":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Rivals-of-Ixalan/The-Immortal-Sun"},{"insert":") for the draw advantage.\n\nYeah, as Whirpool said, \"Elesh Norn\" everyday ! :)\n\nAbout your lands, \"Kor Haven\" ("},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Nemesis/Kor-Haven"},"insert":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Nemesis/Kor-Haven"},{"insert":") and \"Windbrisk Heights\" ("},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Lorwyn/Windbrisk-Heights"},"insert":"https://www.cardmarket.com/fr/Magic/Products/Singles/Lorwyn/Windbrisk-Heights"},{"insert":") are good for protecting you or dealing with a creature and getting a card advantage respectively.\n\nHope it will help you ;)\n"}]}
