I've been playing a mono white deck online for a while.
One thing ive noticed is the lack of cards white has in this format to finish off their opponent.

Red can blast away. Black can drain your life. Blue has too many bloody cards.
Green- well all ive seen so far are hordes of 1/1's


But..  without whites rare generals and equalizers like wog or balance, and a severe lack of card-drawing ability in pauper, white seems to sputter out in the end game.

Without adding other colors, does anyone have suggestions as to how to end the game?

Ivory Giant ?
Dawnglare Invoker ?
Whispersilk Cloak ?

Cenn's Enlistment and Icatian Crier can produce tons of tokens?

Win quicker?
Fliers, shadow, and horsmanship?

Good suggestinos.. 

Ivory Giant..  gets around counters, tough enoug to not be bolted, haste and taps all.
I'll have to give it a try.

Dawnglare Invoker.. too much mana to be used same turn as played. will never survive imho.

whispersilk cloak..  that should fit in nicely.

Cenn's EnlistmentImage.ashx?type=card&name=Cenn%27s%20Enlistment and Icatian CrierImage.ashx?type=card&name=Icatian%20Crier

Not sure which is more playable but have to give them a try

But still, for a color that is all about creatures, I'm surprised it has so few bigums..  even blue has 30+ critters with power > 3 in pauper.

White is all about small creatures
And, blue's numbers are likely skewed by all the Sea Serpent s.  Card links are done by {c}{/c} (replace curly brackets with square ones [])

You can quote anybodies post to see what code they use.

There is also artifacts, of course.
Things like Razor Golem are nice. 

Then there is the fact that white plays so well with equipment a la Kitesail Apprentice , Skyhunter Cub , and Auriok Glaivemaster

Although it may top out at 3 power...you can get it for just 2 mana

Shade of Trokair

Allows you to use all of that extra white mana you'll have laying around since most of white's creatures are pretty cheap.  Order of Leitbur is another nice mana dump.  You can also consider Guardian of the Guildpact since he is likely to be able to squeeze by most of the creatures in the format and dodge most of the removal out there.
