Well we need test data, I smash all the gruul variants, but I have been drawing exceptionally well. I'm amazed that in under 3 hours of actual play I went from Plat 4 to Diamond 3 (Bo3 only). No losses in the Diamond bracket as of yet. I do think some opponents concede way to early but I also know that once the board state is that far gone, it's hard to catch up. I have also found UW versions to be clunky. Double Glacial Fortress draws are more of thing than I'd like to admit. The counter magic has come in handy against all the nexus decks, but again I'm new to the arch type. I pivot a lot on the ladder, from weenies to esper to gruul, it just depends on what I think is better positioned.
Mono white has been simply awesome atm, wish I would've picked it up sooner, the grind to mythic last season was too hard lol.

I usually don't play decks like this, but the Nexus decks were infecting the Platinum tier, so I busted out the WW weeinies and promptly smashed my way to Diamond 4 (6-0 run beating mostly everything). I can't denty that the deck seems well positioned if the ladder is made up of Gruul, and Nexus. There's some meta gaming against Gruul now, and I tried mono red, but found that mono white actually just gets bigger than what gruul does.
Having played against this arch type a bit, I've always found the blueless version to curve out better, but in a world where Temur/Simic/ and Bant Nexus are things the countermagic out of the sb does wonders for that match up.
