For a "over-rated" set, the WL white just keeps coming.

People have already talked about: Abeyance, Empyrical Armor and
Tarrif.

White also got at least one other killer card and an additional solid
card:

Aura of Silence and argverian find (

I don't see any reason to play with 4 disenchants main deck with aura
of silence in the t2 mix.  It can be cast pre-emptively with a gloom
type effect on your opponent.  It can take out a forsaken wastes
without loss of life.  But perhaps the most important detail is that
it's an enchantment.

Enlightened tutor can now get creature removal (enchantments, more
neutralization but it can work), creatures (artifact creatures) and
now it can get enchantment/artifact removal as well.  Considering that
some of the newest "white" friendly creatures are artifacts (And also
in WL), Enlightened tutor is getting more powerful imo.

Along the same line of logic, the find is like a mini-recall since
white now has so many good artifacts/enchantments to choose from.
When the black options deck with vampiric tutor was popular, a distant
minority used to ask where was the white option deck?

I think white option is getting more and more attractive.
