This is really cool! I never knew {Lone Missionary} existed. {Divinity of Pride} is amazing...

So this is the final list I went with. It's actually good! Performs well even against top tier decks! The problem is that after sideboard it is super weak. What can I do to protect my {Emeria, The Sky Ruin}? Also what else would you recommend for a mono white sideboard in modern?

Our meta is heavy in control (Esper and American), Tron, Splinter Twin, and birthing pod decks especially.

I'm thinking of taking this to a modern tournament, just to see how it does, for fun! It did well against our affinity, American midrange, and 5 color good stuff decks. That's saying something!

Splash red for {Boros Charm}?

What happens if you pick a non-permanent with the sky run land?
