Resplendent Angel

Creature — Angel

Flying

At the beginning of each end step, if you gained 5 or more life this turn, create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying and vigilance.

: Until end of turn, Resplendent Angel gets +2/+2 and gains lifelink.

I thought about going the token route before and decided that if I wanted to go there I'd have to lean too heavily into it to make it worth it. This deck doesn't really benefit large amounts of creatures so the only usefulness they would actually get would be their ETB on my lifegain to quick boost some creatures with +1's. That being said, there are still some cards I like in the selection you gave.

Cards that depend on large amounts of mana aren't going to go far in this deck so the Secure the Wastes is out, but the Grand Crescendo has utility in at the very least being a 2 mana response to board wipes so I like it. Call the Coppercoats would make for a good 3 mana surprise at instant speed for attacks and defense.

Cat Collector and Horn of Gondor are too slow when the point is to gain life or capitalize on instances of life gain. Other cards are cheaper or better and I wouldn't want to trade them out.

Myrel, Shield of Argive is also pretty slow on buildup, especially considering I don't have a soldier deck, but she's always still a good card to keep in a back pocket for white decks. A lot of turns will go by with me not quite reaching 5 life gain in a single turn so I don't know how useful Resplendent Angel will be, but she's only 3 mana so I'll hold on to her for a while and see how it goes. I would have to be topdecking lands on an empty hand to use her 6 mana ability most likely.

Without leaning more into mass creatures Leyline of Hope doesn't provide enough for 4 mana. I'll pop off with 1 or 2 10/10's and start swinging and that +2 doesn't change much. Nyx Lotus Looks like a good choice for this deck if i need more mana for the curve though.

All in all, I love the suggestions and thank you very much for looking over my deck. It is always appreciated.

Excellent looking deck, zelous666! I really like that you chose Hopeful Initiate and Reluctant Role Model; wasn't even aware these existed and they really add to the utilities the deck can make use of.

Considering the amount of cards you use to gain life based on creature-ETB, I was wondering how you'd feel about adding some cards that generate creature tokens. These could be permanents like Cat Collector, Horn of Gondor, Myrel, Shield of Argive or Resplendent Angel. One-shot deals could be fun too. Call the Coppercoats, Grand Crescendo and Secure the Wastes for example.

Other cards I could recommend would be Nyx Lotus, because of the massive devotion this deck can conjure up. Also, Leyline of Hope to double lifegain AND provide a nice anthem to your critters could be fun. Enjoy!

Hey, good WIP for Angels, nice Avacyn and Tithe.

When you break it down to the very basics of what you need for Angels it's three things: Angels, ramp and draw. Angels because you want to cast/attack with Angels, ramp because you want to be able to consistently cast your higher mana cost (4+ CMC) Angels and repeatable draw because you want to keep having Angels in your hand to cast. The better Angels you want to attack with, including Liesa, have a high mana cost, without more ramp you'll have a more difficult time casting them. Consider more lower mana cost (1-3 CMC) ramp and more repeatable draw sources?

In my opinion, a good rule for casual Commander deck building is having at least 10 sources of draw and at least 10 sources of ramp, allocate deck room for these. These are the most important two effects to have for smoother gameplay. Better overall gameplay makes playing Commander more fun since you'll get less frustrated with how your deck is running. Consider cutting a few of the lesser power cards compared to other cards here for more ramp and draw?

Add:

Cut:

Some land upgrades to consider that are within the budget for the manabase: Caves of Koilos, Fetid Heath, Shineshadow Snarl, Great Hall of Starnheim, Tyrite Sanctum, Vault of the Archangel, Soulstone Sanctuary, Path of Ancestry

I hope this advice is helpful and I offer more if you're interested, about the potential adds/cuts I've suggested.

I also recommend either Resplendent Angel or Valkyrie Harbinger over Angelic Accord, as they are creatures, and shall synergize with Trostani.

For a kitchen table deck you usually just want some way to remove opposing creatures. Path to Exile was the classic Modern staple for , nowadays people usually prefer stuff like Prismatic Ending or Solitude but Path is still good.

Unfortunately, angels are not a very competitive Modern tribe since they're usually big inefficient creatures, and the more efficient angels are probably out of your budget range, e.g. Resplendent Angel. But for casual play this doesn't really matter, just try to focus on creatures that do something useful (draw a card, gain life, etc) while also having decent offensive stats, and maximize your copies of them. So for example, Inspiring Overseer isn't too bad since it's a 2 power flier while gaining 1 life and replacing itself, so 4 copies of it is probably a good idea.

Lord_of_Lords Only people with privs can edit which tokens are connected to a card. It was Resplendent Angel that had two angel tokens associated with it, I removed the offending one.

A few things.

1st off. I think a soul sisters deck and angel deck are not compatible. Soul sisters make and want as many lifegain triggers as possible. Maximizing cards like Voice of the Blessed . Angels i believe want to maintain x life above your starting life and gain in chunks of 5 for probably the best angel Resplendent Angel. These seem simular but that creates tough choices in deck design.

Book of Exalted Deeds with creature lands is a combo with Mutavault some decks just can't beat this.

I think you want the card draw off of Shelter but I personally think that card sux. You would likely be better with a green splash for just Collected Company or run a cheaper protection spell like Brave the Elements or a better card draw engine Welcoming Vampire perhaps.

Speaker of the Heavens is a suprise op card i have a angel deck on mtga for historic and it is a great agro card angels needed.

You are light in 1 key piece of any deck. Interaction.

March of Otherworldly Light is a favorite of mine.

Path to Exile could be decent

Dawn Charm niche counterspell/ protect a creature

Surge of Salvation protection vs opposing aggro

I'd suggest looking at another decks sideboard to help build a better one Check out decks like modern d&t or soul sister or angels and see what you want. But be sure to cover a few things.

Graveyard hate like Soul-Guide Lantern Something to fight control many different approachesCavern of Souls Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Artifact/enchantment hate Disenchant

And something for decks that you think you need more help with and expect to face. Perhaps a boardwipe for decks that go wide Doomskar or any other archetype/problem that needs fixing.
