Description of deck by Frank Karsten
(quoted):
The game plan is to use recurring Martyr of
Sands to stay at a high life total. The forecast ability of Proclamation
of Rebirth allows the deck to reuse the same Martyr of Sands over and
over again and get up to an unbeatably high life total. The deck is very
good against most aggro decks. Those decks already have problem
overcoming a full suite of Wrath of God and Condemn. But tagging on a
recurring Martyr of Sands for 18 life is just unfair. The deck
eventually wins by decking the opponent. Between various Jester's
artifacts and Howling Mine, your opponent goes through his deck faster
than you. By staying mono-white, you can play an all-snow mana base,
which allows you to take advantage of Scrying Sheets. The bad matchups
of the deck are decks with Persecute, such as Solar Flare. Countermagic
is not even that problematic, since it can’t stop Proclamation of
Rebirth’s forecast, but a Persecute on white is quite mean.
