Looking for the most optimal five-drop human creatures in Mono White? Look no further! This comprehensive guide dives deep into the top 10 best five-drop humans you can include in your Mono White deck.

10. Danitha, Benalia’s Hope

Danitha, Benalia’s Hope, with a slew of First Strike, Vigilance and Lifelink text. Danitha can reanimate or cheat an aura or equipment. Additionally, it automatically equips her; this goes from an average of 5 drops to 7 or 8 drops when you add the mana cost of the equipment or aura.

9. Oltec Archaeologists

Oltec Archaeologists, a reanimation spell for your artifacts at best; at worst, it is a scry 3. With decent stats and a versatile effect, if your deck runs artifacts, run this human, as she has recursion and a solid filter effect.

8. Triumph of Saint Katherine

Triumph of Saint Katherine, there is a lot of text here, and why this card is good needs to be clarified. First, she does not die. She just gets shuffled in the top 6 cards of your library. But her best effect is when you draw her; she only costs two mana due to her miracle ability.

7. Knight-Captain of Eos

Knight-Captain of Eos, this one is a little niche as you also need to have some soldier strategy. However, since he comes down with two soldiers, this allows you to fog your opponents out for at least two turns, allowing you to find answers to board wipe or win the game.

6. Victory’s Envoy

Victory’s Envoy, are you playing a +1/+1 counter deck? Do you need some way to make your board bigger to hit that lethal threshold? Look no further, as Victory’s Envoy will indeed lead you to victory.

5. Celestine, the Living Saint

Celestine, the Living Saint, this is the worst Sun Titan. However, if you have any other method of gaining life outside of swinging with Celestine, this is an absolute staple in your deck. You can reanimate creatures over and over every time you gain life. This is RECCURABLE as it happens at the end of every turn.

4. Knight-Errant of Eos

Knight-Errant of Eos, as I was making this post, I went ahead and added this card to my budget human tribal deck. Here’s why, at worst, I look at the top 6 cards and I get two one drops; at best, I get to look at the top 6 cards and get my best five drop creatures. I don’t see any reason why you should not run this card outside of you not wanting to draw cards.

3. Reverent Hoplite

Reverent Hoplite, talk about making a TON of human soldiers in one turn. For example, you swing with your entire board to kill one opponent, leaving you with no blockers. Drop down Reverent Hoplite, and BOOM, a ton of blockers and a massive amount of board presence to swing at your next opponent.

2. Defiler of Faith

Defiler of Faith, I did not realize this was a human. However, here we are as this card reduces the mana of your white permanents by paying a measly two life. This also creates tokens every time you cast a white permanent. This card is a staple in any strategy that requires you to make tokens.

1. Thalia’s Lancers

Thalia’s Lancers, this is not a joke. This is the BEST 5 DROP HUMAN. Do you disagree with me? That’s fair. However, hear me out; you GET THE BEST LEGENDARY IN YOUR DECK. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF LEGENDARY (CREATURE, SPELL, LAND, PLANESWALKER). Tutor effects are always good in Commander; they are the main reason why people end up winning the game. Why shouldn’t you have a solid way to tutor for your best card, having the ability to make your next turn the best way possible by playing the legendary you just searched for?
