Silver Seraph

Creature — Angel

Flying

Threshold - Other creatures you control get +2/+2 as long as seven or more cards are in your graveyard.

As a fellow Angel lover (you can see my angel tribal & taxes deck here ), I think you run many angels that are simply not good enough. Angel of Retribution, Radiant, Archangel is too fragile to mass removal, Seraph of Dawn, Seraph of the Suns, Shepherd of the Lost, Requiem Angel, Angelic Field Marshal is useless if you don't have your commander out, and if you have it you really don't need that much having viligance on all your creatures when a lot of them already have it, Exquisite Archangel (if you want this kind of effect I would prefer Resolute Archangel, that does it whenever you want), Herald of War I think is too slow, all of those I think cost too much for what they do, even Radiant, because she is too vulnerable against mass removal, although you could argue that she is good enough, I don't like her that much. I also think some of them like Silver Seraph or Shattered Angel could be removed but I'm fearing that I am going to cut too much and you will end up with less than 100 cards. Also, I'd suggest removing Iona, as hard as it is for me to say, but when my opponents stole it from me for the third time and named white I finally decided is too risky to run her in a monocolored deck.

I also think you are running some inefficient lifegain. Chaplain's Blessing is too weak, you could instead run cards like Blessed Alliance that are far more versatile, or Solemn Offering to mix targeted removal with life gain. Rest for the Weary, Sun Droplet, those ones I think are too ineficient.

Finally, some of the artifacts you run are to make your creatures able to evade more, but I don't think it is necessary when all of them already fly and are enormous, so I would cut Trailblazer's Boots and Prowler's Helm. I don't think Whispersilk Cloak is that good taking into account how many enchantments and abilities you have that target your creatures, and Sunbeam Spellbomb isn't good enough if you are not running some kind of graveyard recursion.

Finally, I would cut many of the cards you use to buff up your angels. They are already big, you don't need too many +1/+1 effects when you are always casting 5/5s, 6/6s and 7/7s. That would make Silver Seraph, Path of Bravery, Honor of the Pure, Dictate of Heliod and Light from Within cuttable.

Have you thought about adding Approach of the Second Sun? It's a nice alternate win condition that makes you gain life. I'd also think about including the OG Ajani Goldmane, it was made specifically about lifegain.

LOVE the idea. Some other cool angel cards:

Adarkar Valkyrie, Angel of Condemnation, Angel of Jubilation, Angel of the Dire Hour, Angelic Favor, Blinding Angel, Chancellor of the Annex, Devout Invocation, Iona, Shield of Emeria (<-- a MUST for this deck! :D), Karmic Guide, Luminarch Ascension, Moonsilver Spear, Platinum Angel (<-- another must, imo), Seraph, Silver Seraph, Twilight Shepherd...

Just a few cool angel themed cards.

I would suggest adding some more board wipes, especially Austere Command, and also maybe adding in a Path to Exile.Personally Id also think about Dawn Charm and Lapse of Certainty

I think this deck would work great if taken in an equipment-ish direction, since white has some great equipment tutors!

I LOVE ANGELS!

How about a Silver Seraph - EDH games tend to go long enough for 'threshold' to hit.

Cryptic Gateway is an easy way to slam your winged avengers into play.

Looks awesome! How about a Silver Seraph? Kind of expensive, but you should be hitting threshold very quickly in this deck.

Having been smashed in the face by Muscle Burst/Defiant Elf, I recommend finding a spot in the main deck for Diligent Farmhand.

For additional Elvish Piper targets, I suggest Chorus of the Conclave, Archetype of Endurance, Living Hive/Symbiotic Wurm or even Silver Seraph. They all seem to fit your theme.

Gotta love Green Stompy!

Hi Daedalus,

this looks tricky indeed! But challenging :) And surely in a casual environment.

So nothing else but creatures and lands.... hmmm

I had to give this some thought before I was able to get something 'valuable' down here.

The deck consists of 100 cards, which you want to get out of control in no time. This looks tricky, pretty tricky.... Hear my brains pop ;-)

I think a solid thought would be - knowing the lack of .... uhhh ....everything besides creatures - to add as much ramp&pamper as possible. So I would consider this:

1.) Ramp(ag)ing creatures

2.) Creatures pumping, so that even the rampers could go bonkers lategame...

If we want some level of consistency, I would at least use these numbers: 18+ ramp and 18+ boost

Ramp:

Boost:

Lands:

This turned out into a big list. I am curious how this evolves.... but as they say; no guts, no glory!

Good luckt mate!
