Mono White Humans – Budget Pioneer Deck

Mono White Humans is a fringe deck that aims to punish spell heavy decks through Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and various cheap creatures to overwhelm slower decks. While not as common as the five-color humans variant, mono white humans is a much more budgetarily friendly build that you can slowly adapt into a more complete version, five-color humans, or Orzhov Humans, all which show up in the 5-0 lists with various frequency.

The only maindeck change outside of the mana-base is one Brutal Cathar for an Elite Spellbinder. While you would love to have four Brutal Cathar, the deck is pushing the limit of budget as is and Spellbinder is a reasonable substitution to keep the cost down a little.

The big change is in the mana-base though as Mutavault are unfortunately expensive. Without Mutavault, the deck does lose a bit of power, but we have replaced those with an extra Castle Ardenvale and a pair of Cave of the Frost Dragon. These lands are certainly the best place to invest any FNM winnings back into this deck as Cave is a very poor Mutavault in tribal synergy decks.

The sideboard loses Rest in Peace and Selfless Spirit, which are meaningful losses, but can easily be upgraded for around $25. If you are looking for a cheap way to improve some of your tougher matchups, filling out the sideboard with the appropriate cards will help you more so than fixing the mana-base, but the Mutavaults are your top priority when upgrading this deck for an open field.
