How Aunt May decks play in EDH
Aunt May is a mono-white commander costing W, and its legendary creature - human citizen line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. Life gain is a resource here rather than a safety net, so cards that convert life totals into damage or draw belong in the list. The cards below are the ones Aunt May decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
