No Goblins Allowed :: [BFZ] Top 5 White Commons

Judging from recent experience, white wants to be aggresive, so I've gone and put the 3/1 second.

The seed has already been planted in my head that 2 drops are going to be bad (from ROE, which I have not really played). I suspect this is likely to be wrong. Probably Castigator is decent enough to force people to acknowledge turn 2 or at least 3.

Gideon's ReproachSwap 1 and 2 depending on my mood
Sheer Drop
Shadow Glider into Courier Griffin into Ghostly Sentinel all seem appropriately valued for there mana cost
Lithomancer's Focus. so many blow outs i've had with this,
Smite the monstrous is top 5 even though it may be sideboard. just a great answer to the fat

I want to get this in early before I start seeing review: 1. Sheer Drop 2. Smite the Monstrous 3. Ondu Greathorn 4. Shadow Glider 5. Gideon's Repoach Last 3 aren't in any order. The common white allies don't really impress, but I think if you are playing allies you will want them. How did they not make the 1/1 flier an ally?

Agreed on all five. Well, that was boring.

Here is the full white commons listing: There are also four colorless commons, some of which may well belong on this list. The 8/9 trampler in particular, or the five-mana accelerator. As for these: Sheer Drop Kor Castigator Ondu Greathorn Gideon's Reproach Smite the Monstrous I expect these to change around a bit as the format matures, and archetypes emerge. Judging from recent experience, white wants to be aggresive, so I've gone and put the 3/1 second.

Snite the Mostrous Ghostly Sentinel Gideon's Reproach Kor Castigator Lithomancer's Focus Blue/white evasive deck is definitely a thing. Red/white will be aggressive, as will green/white I think. White is almost as deep as blue.

This is going to be a very different format from ROE. The noticeable lack of a true wall archtype makes that obvious. Also, more cheap Eldrazi than before.

Ghostly Sentinel is pretty solid. I have done a couple drafts on Cockatrice already. Speed seems similar to Khans, in that turn 3 is important, but turn 2 less so.

Cliffside Lookout is good, cheap way to trigger allies plus threat of activation is relevant. I have played a bunch of limited on cockatrice and it's a really fun format, very "Timmy". You can snowball people with aggro dudes or ramp into big eldrazi or anything really

I don't think white is the deepest here. I usually don't go for it at all unless it's obviously open. The other colors relate a lot better to the colorless cards, you can go for scions matter or ramp into big eldrazi or ingest and process or if you're part green then you have landfall and converge options.

I think, at least early on, people want to play colorless and/or ramp and so white is a little underdrafted. It is relatively deep though. I went nearly mono white... with a BW drafter on my right! (I had no removal though).
