I have no doubt you can put this, and other white casting cost creatures into a deck with Nykthos and/or Heliod and "make" a mono white devotion deck.
But there's zero way to protect any of these vanilla creatures and they are all outclassed by everything currently played in standard. The fundamental aspect to white weeny decks is cards like brave the elements and white anthems. God's Willing will have to do, and Spear of Heliod is just ok. We have no Honor of the Pure, no Brave the Elements and path to exile. There's probably zero reason to play a mono colored deck because your deck is going to just get better with cards like Dromoka's Command, Become Immense, Collected Company etc.
On the play this guy is a 2/2 first strike getting you a plains. Which helps power an early heliod, which is nice indeed, right before it gets abzan charmed. And on the draw this guy is a vanilla 2/2 first striker.
Also has everyone forgot the fact that drown in sorrow is still in the format? You're going to suffer from the same problems that mono red does in games 2 and 3, but you won't have the burn cards to recover.
Black/White warriors is BARELY a deck, and that deck has more synergy with it's creatures. But at least Mogis Marauder can push through damage.
And why has everyone decided to ignore cards like Raise the Alarm, Seeker of the way etc. These cards are just strictly better in most cases. Heck why not go with Triplicate Spirits if you're going to play weenies. At least in those decks it's a pseudo Spectral Procession. And fliers are just better cards.
Why not Wingmate Roc? Everyone wants to go small and white. But they're just ignoring the entire other metagame of standard. I find that annoying to read.
Id like to add that lack of 1 drops hurts a ton to, the days of savannah lions being relevant is long gone.
Mono-red is the deck to play if you want a fast aggresive deck that doesnt lose to its own mana base.
Just checked no Honor of the Pure in the set highly doubt we will see a base white aggressive any time soon, seeing all of the tribal stuff getting printed in red and green completely miffs me.
Don't you see that the whole aim of Moderators is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make infractions literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.

We've barely seen half the set. Take it easy on the jumping to conclusions.

Going first, it's just a 2/2 first strike for WW. Going second, it's a 2/2 first strike with acceleration that also makes multiples vanilla 2/2 first strike creatures for WW....on turn 3

Theros doesn't rotate out until the fall set. There's a few months of overlap in between.
