Sublime Archangel has been one of my favorite cards to play with and I wanted to try and build a competitive modern deck around her.
CREATURES
Noble Hierarch- Probably the true all-star of the deck. She accelerates and fixes my mana providing me with so much flexibility for my other turns. Oh and Exalted.
Birds of Paradise- Second set of mana dorks to help accelerate the deck and fix mana issues.
Invisible Stalker- Well I can have all the power in the world but it won't matter if a lowly token keeps getting in the way. Good thing Invisible Stalker is unblockable. Not only that, but he has the added bonus of hexproof mitigating Lightning Bolt, Abrupt Decay, Path to Exile and other removal spells.
Thalia, Heretic Cathar- Taps opponents' fetches and keeps their creatures tapped on entry to allow a better chance for my exalted attacker to get through.
Courser of Kruphix- With a 2/4 body, he serves as a good blocker while allowing me to gain some life from playing lands and thinning my deck by being able to play lands from the top of it. Him being an enchantment creature also fuels Ethereal Armor.
Geist of Saint Traft
- Once again hexproof keeps him relatively safe. When he attacks the angel and him have a minimum combined power of 6. His angel trigger does not deter the Exalted trigger but you won't be able to give the angel the bonus.
Sublime Archangel-Exalted triggers for everyone!!! She's the home run card of the deck, injecting steroids into my attacker. She needs to be dealt with immediately otherwise I'll be pushing through for large chunks of damage. It is unfortunate she's not out of the reach of Lightning Bolt or Path to Exile though.
ENCHANTMENTS
Rancor- The +2/+0 is nice to help accelerate the clock but the important part is trample considering more often than not I'll be attacking with one creature and I want to make sure the damage gets through and Invisible Stalker is the only creature that is unblockable.
Ethereal Armour- With 12 enchantments in the deck, Ethereal Armour also can make my creatures huge very quickly with the addition of first strike.
Detention Sphere- Removal and potentially 2 for 1's or more.
INSTANTS
Path to Exile- Instant speed removal that exiles their creature.
PLANESWALKER
Tamiyo, Field Researcher- Her +1 makes combat a sticky situation for my opponents while allowing me to draw cards. With her -2, I can tap down any blockers in the way or any other nonland permanents that need to be dealt with.
I would love to hear any feedback folks are willing to offer.
