White spells you cast cost 
less to cast.
Why is this card good?
Pearl Medallion is solid, unobtrusive ramp for mono-white and white-heavy decks. Unlike a Sol Ring, it doesn't add mana — it discounts every white spell you cast, which compounds hard in decks that fire off multiple spells per turn. The deeper your white pip count, the better it scales.
Where it shines: Mono-white commanders that struggle with ramp (think Heliod, Avacyn, Elas il-Kanren) appreciate any acceleration they can get, since white is the format's weakest ramp color. It's especially good in spellslinger-ish or token-flood white decks that cast lots of cheap spells, and in stax shells where you're churning out hatebears.
When to skip it: In multicolor decks, the discount only hits your white spells, so it's far weaker than a generic mana rock like Arcane Signet or a Talisman that fixes colors. It also does nothing for activated abilities or your opponents' turns, and a single discount won't break through expensive curves.
Mono-white: yes. Otherwise, usually pass.
