Cheating here, but I'm a big fan of the cheaper interactive "Seals of X". Hitting random engine pieces or bouncing someone's Commander works quite well.

Hit Mythic with Mono-White Tokens in Standard. Went 14-0 from Plat 1 all the way to Mythic.
This deck is decent against Vivi and UW Control, so felt smooth.
Might tweak the SB a bit (Starcage felt medium), but unsure what I would replace them with.
Importable list below.

P1P1 Lurrus, never looked back.
Really like the idea for this, as Cube is one of the best ways to play Magic and having a more accessible way in is excellent.

I saw this on FB at the weekend. I'd uninstall if my opponent did that to me.
