Rifty Business —Oct. 26, 2012

After some more trading and buying cards, I'm happily able to add in a few bombs and strengthen the mana base a bit. I had to cut some cool cards to do it, but these new additions feel worth it.

Additions:
+Avacyn, Angel of Hope: Expensive, but obviously very thematic, and her ability makes my deck's many sweepers fantastic for me (assuming I have any left by the time I cast her).
+Cyclonic Rift: I really want to hit a combo player with an overloaded Rift. Or an Elf deck. Or a Kresh deck. Or a Ghave deck. Hehehe.
+Entreat the Angels, Sigarda, Host of Herons: Because duh.
+Hinterland Harbor, Mystic Gate, Seachrome Coast

Cuts:
-Blazing Archon: Too expensive, even for what he does. Shame to cut that art, though.
-Geist of Saint Traft: He makes angels and flavors as holy, but he just didn't feel right now that I've committed harder to this flyers theme.
-Phyrexian Rebirth: I already have a lot of sweepers - seven are still left in the deck (counting Sunblast and Rift).
-Stoic Angel: A friend pointed out that since this isn't an exalted deck or a Stasis-style deck I don't really take advantage of her ability, which is true.
-Grove of the Guardian: I know he just got in, but I decided better mana-making lands would be more relevant for me than a random 8/8. Tokens are pretty vulnerable in EDH anyhow.
-2x Plains
