The Comprehensive 8th Edition Draft Review: White

A lot can be said about White in Eighth Edition because it really is a diverse color. It has bombs, it has filler, it has attack-minded creatures, it has defense-minded creatures, it has good evasion creatures, and it has good ground-based creatures. Like Red, it also has good rares and rubbish rares in roughly equal measure. Here are some things to bear in mind when drafting White. Try to avoid Green as a partner color, but any other color is fine, and even Green can work on occasion if you splash for removal. White has excellent commons. Pacifism and Master Decoy are superb, and following that are a number of common flyers that are all high picks. The fact that Diving Griffin is only the seventh best common in the color is a testament to how deep it is. On the other hand, its uncommons are very uninspiring. Its best uncommon ( Chastise ) doesn’t compare favorably with any other top four in Red or Blue.
