11 Most Essential White Cards Every Magic: The Gathering Player Should Know

White has always been one of the easiest colors in Magic: The Gathering to misunderstand.

Beneath that veneer of honor and unwavering faith lies a much darker undercurrent of zealotry and dogmatism. When its pursuit of order reaches its logical extreme, White reveals an arsenal of the most brutally oppressive spells in Magic history, fully capable of obliterating the entire world in an instant or making an opponent deeply regret having the audacity to cast a spell at all.
