This is the 1st deck I've finished on the site, any help with anything is appreciated. I feel as though the deck is kind of extremely vulnerable early game, but for the Goldenglow Moth and Gideon's Lawkeeper Suggestions on how to make it more competitive earlier are very welcome.
Also, does any one know if cards entering the battlefield tapped counts for Gideon's Avenger 's effect?
The way the deck works is not that complex, set up Gideon's Avenger early, tap and delay with Gideon's Lawkeeper while the avenger grows. Make it hexproof and unblockable with Whispersilk Cloak while enchantments, especially Dissipation Field and Palliation Accord, quickly make it completely unworth it for your opponent to attack.
Frozen Aether and Gideon Jura also work really well together, as when both are out your opponent will have to fear the instant destruction of any creature they play. Gideon Jura 's ability to goad others into attacking is also especially useful as it will allow you to add more counters to Palliation Accord , block with Wall of Frost to keep opponent's creatures tapped which will in turn grow Gideon's Avenger even more. Or perhaps you could use this ability with a Goldenglow Moth and Vigil for the Lost on the field to gain back tons of life while growing the counters on Palliation Accord. Sunblast Angel can be a great way to destroy select creatures combined with Gideon's Lawkeeper or Frozen Aether. You can even force an opponent to resummon while Frozen Aether is up by goading them with Gideon Jura while Dissipation Field is up, maybe even preventing all but 1 damage with Palliation Accord, and then using Sunblast Angel once the opponent has invested more mana in putting the creature down again. Remember Dissipation Field affects all permanents, so enchantments and artifacts that damage you over time will become virtually useless as they are endlessly returned to the hand. This is especially true of artifacts that need to be tapped because of Frozen Aether. Sleep and Sunblast Angel can be used on consecutive turns for mass destruction while still growing Gideon's Avenger and Palliation Accord.
