Qasali Pridemage Discussion
IlGuale on Is Soul Sisters coming back?

That remembers me of It Really Adds Up. They're not based on the exact same strategy, but you got what i intended. Also, but this is just me being a cat-lover, green could support the Cat Ladies version with Qasali Pridemage.

Getting ready for PPTQ this weekend. Removing 2 Qasali Pridemage and adding all 4 Thoughtseize to the main. Should I make room in the side for more discard?

Running Wild With Scissors

Agreed. So I'll swap out Masterwork for a Prowler's Helm, and going to swap out Qasali Slingers for Qasali Pridemage - 3/3 for 2 with removal and I'm already running Aura Shards anyway.
As for Fireshrieker, I think I'd rather run Duelist's Heritage - same effect, cheaper, and political.
Xica on What is the worse that ...

True, still Reclamation Sage < Qasali Pridemage - since it can only cause problems (IF resolves) after the angel is on the field.
That is a pretty big if considering that the deck is built to counter such threats - and Glorious End doesn't care for Boseiju, Who Shelters All or Cavern of Souls.
However removing stuff like Liliana of the Veil, or Seal of Primordium is a real trouble for U/R decks.
So i am just inquiring about stuff that could get me in real trouble like lilana, at 3 cmc cost - if its not a simple hate card, but something that warps the game if left on the field then i would like to hear about it even more.

Trostani Big Tokens
3 weeks ago
Fun list. I love big tokens, but I've never really tried them in EDH. Cool to see someone running them.
Given that you have a couple mana doublers, Gelatinous Genesis might be a good option. I'd also suggest Intangible Virtue over Durable Handicraft.
While not a token producer, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist can be extremely good in a token strategy.
Some number of Overrun effects like the namesake card, Overwhelming Stampede or others may be handy for getting lethal through before a board wipe can hit.
If there's any prison decks or artifact combo in your meta, packing some additional removal like Oblivion Ring, Return to Dust, Sylvan Reclamation or Qasali Pridemage (the latter of which can be imprinted on Mimic Vat) might be useful.

After play testing I found that I had two decks. I have modified this deck to be straight Aggro and I will build a separate Mid Range deck. In play testing both decks do better on Untap than the previous build.
For this build I added Noble Hierarch, Dryad Militant, Qasali Pridemage, Scavenging Ooze, and Lingering Souls to the Main. The Side got tweaks, too, the most notable Thrun, the Last Troll.
Overall it does 2 less damage by turn 4 then the original Jacob Wilson build, but has many more answers. It is faster and smoother then the Emracool build I posted here, and still powerful enough to close by turn 4.
You guys got me this far! Take a look at what we've done and let me know what you think.

Lethal Experiment

I am also building a very similar deck
Blood Angel's Pact
Modern
SCORE: 2 | 897 VIEWS | IN 2 FOLDERS
It would be nice to have someone to brainstorm the deck with, so here are my two cents:
Flinging the Death's Shadow (or even including it in the deck) is a mistake.
Death's Shadow will not be bigger than 13/13, even if you have negative life total since the recent rules change
The problem is that once you play Madcap Experiment the game changes, the opponent wins on the spot if they are able to bounce, exile, or kill Platinum Angel so you have to hope they don't have more counters + relevant removal (like Path to Exile) than you have counters.
Remand is not a counterspell in this context, it only delays game loss a single turn.
Thoughtseize, like any other discard, is only good early game, late - mid game removal topdeck will slip by it and cause a game loss. (It gets worse the more cards the opponent draw, Dark Confidant can make it pretty much useless)
Pyretic Ritual's & Simian Spirit Guides are a recipe for disaster. Playing Madcap Experiment early, without counter back up is as bad as it gets.
In the end you have to decide. If you wan't to run a tempo list go with Platinum Emperion (maybe some Blood Moons), in rakdos, or izzet.
If you want to play Platinum Angel, you need to play control to do it effectively.
Of course it brings a whole bag of goodies with it Pact of Negation, Glorious End & Earthquake.
(It seems you don't realize the true potential of Glorious End it exiles the stack, meaning stuff like Supreme Verdict doesn't resolve, including abilities (so why Trickbind?), or when up against some crazy fast tunnel vision matchup like infect, it can be a Time Walk).
So in my experience Platinum Angel mandates a good counterspell package (preferrably hard counters), ways to prevent or deal with problematic permanents that can kill the angel once its on the field like:
Liliana of the Veil; Chandra, Torch of Defiance; Karn Liberated; Oblivion Stone
Against which Spell Pierce & Logic Knot do wonders.
Grafdigger's Cage and the combo of Aether Vial + Harbinger of the Tides/Flickerwisp
mandates some artifact removal
While Qasali Pridemage asks for creature removal
Abrade can play both role - but i have no plan for Seal of Primordium outside getting lucky by drawing one of my 3 Spell Pierces, however its not the most common hate.
The other bogey man of the deck is the draw-go control matchup since they can always win counter wars by having more removal + counterspells, than what this deck will ever be able to match (due having to devote spots for the angel and a way to put it in play).
The solution is to bait out some of the removal or counterspells then Extirpate it.
As an added benefit it also works on stuff that can be recurred from the grave like second casts of Ancient Grudge.
Blood Moon is good in this version too since it prevent stuff like Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle killing the angel, beside being a big hindrance to most deck in the format.
