This time we visit another Phyrexian Praetor from March of the Machine: Elesh Norn!

This deck combines the 187 dorks that Standard White Control decks have been playing for months with not just one -- but two -- styles of Elesh Norn. March of the Machine's new Elesh Norn is obviously good at gobbling them, but Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines from the previous set makes these little dorks actually good.

Here's the new deck list:

4 Ossification
