Hello, and welcome to my primer for Angelhorde Invasion!

This deck is based around casting creatures and getting value from God-Eternal Oketra and pumping them all up with lords. It is meant for casual EDH/Commander play and is a relatively budget deck. I don’t want anything above 10 USD unless I already own the card or there is a good reason for it to be in the deck (eg Ancient Tomb is needed as White really needs extra mana and I already have the card from my Dad’s old collection).

The general strategy is to ramp out God-Eternal Oketra and cast a bunch of creatures such as Lyra Dawnbringer and Archangel of Thune to get a bunch of token value, then pump them up with lords such as Benalish Marshal and Cathars' Crusade . In the case where I can’t get Oketra out, I can still beatdown with good value creatures and use manasinks to pump out both tokens and +1/+1 counters.

I chose Mono-White for a few reasons:

  • The first is that I wanted to consistently cast God-Eternal Oketra , so I had to have her as my Commander.

  • I wanted this to be a relatively budget deck, and the best way to do that is to cut down on the number of colours in a deck, as manabases are very expensive.

  • There are many combos that can just win the game outright.
  • White lacks card draw that isn’t based on artifacts and/or really, really expensive.

This part is a work in progress, I haven’t played this deck enough to figure out all the combos and synergies.

Thanks to the help of a few people on this site, I have made some changes before I put my card order in. I have removed the lifegain package, as some of the people who commented felt that the lifegain package didn't do much. I didn't cut Auriok Champion and Suture Priest because they have extra bonuses apart from gain me life whenever a creature enters the battlefield. Most of the reasoning for cutting/adding cards came from other people and I do not take credit for it.


  • Land Tax and Tithe are useful when I am not going first so I can get consistent land drops.

  • With God-Eternal Oketra out, Odric, Lunarch Marshal gives all my guys Double Strike, which is not a joke. With a Zombie Warrior out, he gives all my guys Vigilance. This was a card I had previously overlooked, and I am thankful that someone had suggested it to me.

  • To increase the card draw of my deck, I am adding in Alms Collector and Slate of Ancestry.

  • I am adding another bounce creature in the form of Emancipation Angel.

  • I am adding in some more ramp in Worn Powerstone and Gilded Lotus to be able to use my mana sinks more and get my cards out earlier

  • With a deck that has around 10 Enchantments or more, Hall of Heliod's Generosity is really good unless you rely on coloured mana.

  • One of my friends who plays FNM EDH said that the meta has a lot of removal, so I'll be adding Eight-and-a-Half-Tails to help with that

  • Grand Abolisher is very useful, as it gives 2 devotion for 2 mana and stops other players from playing on my turn.
