I actually suggested Tribunal a page or two ago, for those of us who still run Oring as a 1 of.
I get where you’re coming from on Marshal because I’ve been running a Humans Package and considered him for my deck also. If you’re having trouble casting her, your mana might be the problem. You could either go up on lands, or drop her by 1. Running her as a 3 of with only 22 lands could be the trouble.
@Ulka, I usually don’t bother removing Bloodghast against dredge. It’s a constant trigger for us, easy to block, and once we stabilize it can’t defend.
When Archangel hits, she usually wins the game. If anything, I’d drop marshal for the Processions.
You seem to have the sideboard pretty well figured out, so how about being more specific? Only thing I noticed is you have no artifact/enchantment destruction, so you’re doomed if you face a Chalice / Worship / Bridge deck.
I should have clarified... There’s a lot of people who run Oblivion Ring as a 1-of, and I’d wondered if they tried Tribunal. We don’t have the cards to take advantage of the Oring trick, so I think Tribunal would be better.
The only reason Honor became awkward for me is I run main deck Thalia. I’m not sure I would cut it in a standard shell.
Also, has anyone tried Conclave Tribunal? When you think about casting it on turn 3, you can cast Spectral and as long as you have another creature, use your four creatures to remove a Liliana, Teferi, or other troublesome permanent.
There was an uncommon in one of the recent (last ten years) that is basically this, without the "spellbreaker" clause. I think it had unleash? I'll have to do a card search later...
I decided to main deck Thalia, but having Honor of the Pure became kind of awkward, so I cut it... I still haven't decided if it's a good thing or not, but Thalia has been awesome. The only problems I've had since are those awkward hands with Pridemate and no lifegain, but I still stand by the fact that it JUST SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! Magic can be unforgiving sometimes.
Anybody been playing lately? I could have won my modern night last week, but I got mana screwed in FOUR GAMES! I think we are much better positioned than we were in years past.
Y’all check out this little list I came across today: Mono White Humans
It’s similar to the list that I run, except it seems to focus on protecting its creatures with Cloudshift and Brave the Elements. It’s labeled Mono White Humans, but it has 8 soul sisters. It also has no Paths!
