2020 White Rankings
As this is the first year there are no changes for ranks. *INS = Insufficient Data
As Expected: White removal is King. No surprises that the best removal in the cube is holding the top 2 slots in White. Winds of Abandon in the #4 slot has been an absolute bomb of a card since its addition with the release of Modern Horizons and I highly recommend giving it a whirl if it's flown under your radar.
​
Pleasant Surprises: Thalia, Heretic Cathar coming in as the top performing white creature confirms the well rounded nature of the card. Strong mana disruption for colour heavy control decks and blockers entering tapped for midrange trying to stabilize are Thalia's bread and butter. Combine this with a single pip mana cost and 3-power first strike to deal with smaller chump blockers and you can see why this card has proven time and time again to make the main and give it's owner the edge.
​
Disappointments: Armageddon has been a cube staple since the beginning of time and I was surprised to see that it holds the bottom spot for cards in my white section. It is a very narrow card seeing almost no play outside of white aggro which is far less common than its red counterpart. Combine this with the fact that many people dislike playing against Armageddon and it gets hate drafted out of a lot of packs it is a card that sits in a lot of sideboards. That being said, the card is just too iconic for me to cut and it wouldn't feel like cube without it.
