Commander Discussion / Re: Fix mono white in EDH

I understand that Stax, or other game lengthening effects, is considered "unfair" or against the Social Contracts a lot of people have. But here's the way I look at it, replace your normal ramp slots with efficient rocks/Smothering Tithe, and you should be golden. And slowing down/preventing other players from doing as much each turn buys you turns. This is a very powerful thing, same as Cyclonic Rift a Table where you have been trailing or your opponents have been going off faster, it buys you turns. Which is an incredibly undervalued tactic.
Not saying anyone on this forum is like this, but going by Social Contracts, which a lot of Mono-White's Strengths primarily fall under, isn't a reason to say White needs to be Fixed. It works, just a lot of people don't like it when it does. And what I was also trying to point out is that with all of the very powerful cards at Mono-Whites disposal, imagine how much the color could become broken with "Fixes" like more consistent, nonrestrictive, ramp and draw. It would be the same kind of broken as giving Mono-Green the kind of Board Control as White has, or Mono-Blue for that matter...
