What is it about?

So this is my second approach to enable Brisela, Voice of Nightmares.* I just love this meld card because of its flavour and the look of your opponents face when it resolves. This deck gets her out pretty consistently so have a look on how it works:

Thalia's Lancers is the most common thing to enable the big eldrazi horror and to make better use of it we can tutor other legendary win conditions like Sorin, Grim Nemesis

I constructed the deck to be stable enough to compete every kind of deck. Main goal of the deck is to get out your big fliers Gisela, the Broken Blade and Baneslayer Angel. Protect these with Lightning Greaves and some Selfless Spirit and go directly for damage with haste.

With the extra life you get from the angels it is very likely to reach 7 or 8 lands and let Brisela, Voice of Nightmares and/or Griselbrand resolve. It's a pretty good feeling having these on deck with Lightning Greaves and Selfless Spirit. I reached this point against all kind of decks consistently. For heavy aggro or heavy control consider sideboard-swaps.

The all-star of this deck is Lingering Souls. Go wide and if you draw Selfless Spirit and Sorin, Solemn Visitor early game, you finish the game pretty fast.

*(Look at my other deck to find out more and to decide which approach is better.)
