Oswald's got potential. This deck has a weird way of proving that.

The idea is in your starting hand u should average 2 lands 3 artifacts 3 interactions

This should allow you to - prevent tampering from enemies - hit Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth combo easily - draw all of your cards using [Staff of Domination] - win con with [Walking Ballista]

The combo line is tedious, but thanks to the way the deck is built and Oswald's ability, you can easily win on turn 4 (WITHOUT INTERACTION FROM ENEMIES). I don't know much about mono-white interaction spells, but if there is something like a counterspell, please tell me because I'm really dying for a counterspell.

The current formation of the deck makes hitting 2 CMC artifacts easy, so you don't have to use Oswald's ability for many turns. That being said, you can easily get unlucky and sit around with wasted mana and useless 1-2 cards in your hand. Therefore, if you know of any useful card draw cards please teach me.

The average low mana cost of spells and weird curve of artifact cmc is on purpose. This is to statistically improve the chances of getting 2 cmc artifacts in your hand in order to use them to tutor for the important combo pieces. While this is all fine and dandy, I've got junk in my deck that's really only there to be a 2 cmc artifact. If you got knowledge on the best 2 cmc artifacts I'd like to hear from you.

Walking ballista needs staff of domination to find since it's technically a 0 cost artifact, meaning I can't tutor it using Oswald. This makes the win combo longer than it needs to be. My knowledge on white/colorless artifact infinite mana win-cons is pretty trash (and also an oddly specific list). If you know of a win-con that has a cmc between 1-4 please PLEASE comment.
