Where's The ultimate Weeping Angel? Avacyn, Angel of Hope

also, a Legit weeping angel is Angel's Tomb

and you should think about throwing in Entreat the Angels for more of those Weeping Angel Tokens!

@KingSorin: Not bad. I do like the idea you've got going with it. Though there are two big changes I would make:

1. The -X is a bit confusing, and it grants you bonus mana AND a creature token at no cost. I think this ability would perform better as an actual tutor effect. Perhaps "-X: Search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost X. Reveal that card and put it into your hand, then shuffle your library". If you are particularly attached to the bonus mana effect, try something similar to Koth of the Hammer 's -2. Maybe "-3: Add X mana in any combination of Green or Blue to your mana pool, where X is the number of lands you control." These effects are much easier to understand, and not at all ridiculously overpowered.

2. I like how you started with the "ultimate", but it took a bit of a turn at the end there. Granting blue creatures "hexproof" makes sense, because "hexproof" as an effect is most prevalent in blue. However, green also has it's fair share of "hexproof" (Ranger's Guile , Alpha Authority , Primal Huntbeast to name a few in standard). "Indestructible" is much more potent than "hexproof", so this emblem greatly favors green over blue, throwing of the purpose of balancing power between colors. And "indestructible" tends to fall under white cards or artifacts most commonly (Avacyn, Angel of Hope , Angelic Overseer , Rootborn Defenses to name a few in standard).

I would recommend making your version of Kiora here be an alternate Domri Rade : an emblem that grants all creatures you control effects based on G/U. Doublestrike and haste are attributed to Red, so let's look at two effects that fit in U that green doesn't have: Flying is a common one, and so is unblockable. I would recommend flying here since trample and unblockable is pointless; plus turning all your creatures into Invisible Stalker would be a bit too powerful. So flying, trample, hexproof, and blank. Other common abilities found in blue currently are flash and evolve. While I feel that either of those would be good options, I think for flavor's sake you could go with evolve. This would allow you to grow all your creatures in the mid and late game, while giving them evasion and protection. That is fairly well-rounded, fits the color pie abilities, and isn't too outside the wheelhouse. So let's take a look at how this could be:

A lot of cards my friend will end up calling a "whore" lol mainly cuz they are well whorish in nature (Hero of Bladehold in my Myr token deck a prime example) As for nicknames I always call Liliana anything Lili. Lady Gaga is used to reference Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

There are a few ways to trim down the price. Play 4 Lord of the Void and 1 less Avacyn, Angel of Hope and 1 less Griselbrand . Take out Temple Garden and 4 Godless Shrine for 1 Plains and 4 Evolving Wilds . That should make it a lot more affordable but a little slower. Thanks for the +1!

@detentionsphere: Boardwipe resiliance = Rootborn Defenses (not commonplace, but a mono-white deck with token production is likely to side-board for anti-wipe)

Non-creature disruption: Oblivion Ring War Priest of Thune Divine Deflection (and similar effects that redirect damage) Erase /Tear Rest in Peace /Purify the Grave etc. etc. etc.

Not sure what you mean by "reach" perse, so can't answer that one.

"White weenie" as an archetype is based on 3cmc and lower creatures with decent abilities getting boosts through artifacts/enchantments. They might not have haste, but I've lost more than a few games with my Gobbys Galore deck to white weenie beaters. They can have quite a bit of speed when built for it.

I don't think any endgame can be considered a "bad endgame" if it ACTUALLY ENDS THE GAME. A win-con is a win-con, it doesn't always have to be a flashy mythic rare with ridiculous abilities. Though I would like to point out that Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Angel of Serenity both fit the bill for mono-white human/angel.

Can't argue about outclassing creatures. But that's why white has access to anthem and control effects. Doesn't matter if your opponent is sitting on Loxodon Smiter , Thragtusk , or Craterhoof Behemoth , a Pacifism or Oblivion Ring stops them all the same to let your army of 2/2 humans march straight through.

And again, unsure of what you mean by "no explosiveness" and "free losses". But if you wouldn't mind clarifying those points for me, I'm sure I can point out some answers. :)

But to be clear, I will agree that pairing white WITH another color is much more potent. Access to different spells or effects that will augment what you are focusing on with white will ALWAYS be better with another "piece of the color pie". G/W is much faster at lifegain and token production than mono-white. U/W has way more options for control and stall than mono-white. And R/W is much better at aggro and ETB than mono-white. I'm simply pointing out that if you know where to look, you can almost always find an answer. WOTC is pretty good about that.
