I prefer BW. I'm working on assembling modern soul sisters and BW tokens, if someone knows another BW modern deck that's any good let me know and I'll work on that too :)

I had fun with B/W life gain.
That's soul sisters :)

All the lists I saw were mono white. My bad.
Nah it's fine I play this BW control version of the deck that basically uses B for orzhov charm (abuses martyr of sands) and blood baron of viskopa (fantastic control win con btw). I am assembling the mono w version though which is more of an aggro deck.

Yeah I ran it controlly as well. {Vampire Nighthawk} was a great addition.
That seems meh in a control shell. It'll often be a murder + gain 2 life, but as a sorcery.

Controlly. If they had no blockers or immediat threats he was swinging. Or getting {Sunbond}ed.

Why run sunbond in a control deck? Just play a cheap finisher like bloodbaron or serra ascendant, they don't open you up for 2 for 1s.

{Serra Ascendant} did nothing for me. I was fetching {Sunbond} or {Angelic Destiny} with a {Heliod's Pilgrim} that was usually thrown under whatever was trying to kill me. I'm not saying it was a grade A deck that couldn't be improved. It was what it was.

Personally green is my favorite mono color because I like the sheer power in creatures it gives. My least favorite color in general is white, I'm not exactly sure why but playing white to me is alway boring. My favorite color combo is blue green. I have a bunch of blue green decks all focused on big creatures, drawing, and control over your opponent

I am of the opposite mind, iI always struggle when playing u/g.  I get conflicted on using my mana to cast huge monsters and holding back to counter/control.  It just never felt like a natural combination to me.  Now r/g or g/b have always been fun for me.

Either Esper or Grixis. I love UB and R/W really just make it great.

I just got a new preference....green/white for the world!!! I'm still using my Abzan outlast deck lots, but I'm experimenting with some green/white token stuff and its REALLY fun. Not exactly OP or anything, but fun. I'm building a deck right now that centers around {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} and {Emmara Tandris}.

Was a fun deck before you could pick it up for $15-20. Well worth it.
