The "Blue White Standard" deck is a multi-color (primarily White and Black with splashes of Red) midrange deck in the Standard format that focuses on a Human tribal theme with strong synergies and utility creatures. The primary strategy is to establish a robust board presence using efficient creatures like Thalia's Lieutenant and General Kudro of Drannith to boost the team, along with support from cards like Mother of Runes and Soul Warden for protection and incremental life gain.
The deck leverages powerful finishers such as Archangel of Thune and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to overwhelm opponents in the late game. It also includes utility and disruption elements like Vindicate, Swords to Plowshares, and Drannith Magistrate to control the board and manage threats.
The deck's mana base supports its diverse color requirements through fetch lands, dual lands, and artifacts like Sol Ring and Fellwar Stone. Key synergies involve life gain triggers from cards like Archangel of Thune and Zulaport Cutthroat, as well as maximizing the Human tribal benefits provided by various lords and support cards. With a mix of aggression, resilience, and control elements, the deck aims to outvalue opponents and dominate the battlefield
