My homebrew B/W angels deck. What do we want?
& we want her now!
So this deck wants to clean up any early board presence and straight up out value your opponent.
Card by Card breakdown
Kambal, Consul of Allocation is good in just about any matchup.
Thalia, Heretic Cathar will absolutely wreck aggro. Through experience she will take out just about anything and slow your opponent down considerably. Then the good stuff.
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, the man, the legend. Efficiency, value, strength. Damn this guy is good.
Gisela, the Broken Blade one of our key cards. Normally you'll just want to play her no matter what. If she dies don't sweat it, if she doesn't go for face. That lifelink will keep you afloat.
Archangel Avacyn Save your creatures? Check. Block some big dude? Check. Give you an extra body that also has vigilance? Check. You're opponents getting surprised real good? Check.
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet Lifelink, reanimation, really everything. This dude is the definition of value.
Thalia's Lancers My b, this chick is the definition of value. When you play here always go for Bruna, the Fading Light. Why? Because if you did play her, you've already got four mana. Chances are you've already it a Gisela. If not it's more likely you'll hit a Gisela than you'll hit your only Bruna. Also Bruna will bring back your dead Gisela straight to the battlefield and flip EOT. Making your opponent wonder why he isn't playing angels. Another nice combo is having Thalia's Lancers die. Play Bruna -> bring back Thalia's Lancers and fetch that Gisela. Do whatever the heck you want!
Ob Nixilis Reignited Underwhelming but gives us some board stabilization, a possible win con, and some nice card vantage. Cause everyone likes that. ;)
Sorin, Grim Nemesis Because draw a card and smack your opponent some life. Also remove a planeswalker, remove a creature, remove a person from a fun FNM.
Cataclysmic Gearhulk He wipes a board, he's a big dude, and with that vigilance he ain't never fallin sleep. Why you ain't convinced yet?
Succumb to Temptation Cause instant speed draw is way better than sorcery speed draw.The Removal
Grasp of Darkness Because it grabs literally everything still. Kills vehicles, avacyn, just so much really.
Ruinous Path We have quick removal and we need this for the walkers. Worst case get rid of a problematic creature. Best case get rid of a walker and make your swamp a 4/4 badass mofo.
Anguished Unmaking Get's rid of everything. Except lands. And headaches,
Blessed Alliance is an early game removal, but late game you can get some real utility.
The Lands
Aether Hub Helps make sure we hit those double colors early game.
Shambling Vent Must I really explain possibly the best land in standard?
Forsaken Sanctuary Can't afford to miss that color req.
Geier Reach Sanitarium Looting is important at any point in game but especially late game where we can keep the gas going once we've set up dominance or dig deep for what we need.
The Matchups
Grixis Control: It's even. Liliana, the Last Hope makes it better by putting them on the backfoot but the matchup seems to be 50-50 or 60-40 in their favor. Abuse the hell out of Kambal, Consul of Allocation
Vehicles (Any Colors) Seems to be a favorable matchup. Make sure you have early game removal. Thalia and Gisela are essential here. Remember these decks can have exposive plays. Watch your life total and put smart pressure while controlling the tempo.
Aggro in general (Vampires/zombies/Pummeler) Be smart about removal and watch yourself win. These decks can't compete with the value.
Aetherworks Sideboard in those Transgress the Mind and To the Slaughter. UseAnguished Unmaking to get rid of Ulamog and Aetherworks itself. To the slaughter also catches them as well as Emrakul, which can be a problem. Take out their key cards and the deck dies however. Stasis Snarebut beware enchantment removal. Favorable matchup.
The deck has been getting me top 4 consistently. I usually draw with Grixis Control but can sometimes win, although it still ends up 50-50 really.
The deck is evolving. Suggestions and etc are greatly appreciated!
