Auron, Venerated Guardian

Auron is a vigilant threat that grows larger every time it attacks, snowballing into a formidable beater. Its ability exiles blockers that are weaker than it, effectively clearing a path to swing damage through. The core gameplan is to turn Auron sideways consistently, racking up +1/+1 counters while using its exile effect to neutralize opponent creatures—especially blockers that would otherwise stall you out. This creates a soft lock where opponents struggle to block a creature that keeps getting bigger and removing their defenders.

To maximize Auron, focus on ways to encourage repeated attacks: double strike effects, extra combat phases, and anthem effects that pump its power. Cards that give evasion or protection help ensure it resolves damage. Since you're in mono-white, lean on equipment, +1/+1 counter synergies, and tax effects to control the board while Auron does the heavy lifting. The deck wins through commander damage and combat aggression, backed by a removal suite via Auron's own trigger.
