Life of an Angel

Deck Help forum

Posted on Nov. 30, 2016, 7:25 p.m. by Cardsofchaos00

Hello so I'll be blunt I'm stuck on this deck but I like the idea of it. What the deck is a GW Lifegain deck but, is focused around spawning angel tokens. This means that the deck will be enchantment heavy and possibly creature heavy of that can benefit from lifegain. Otherwise I need help as I, have a limited knowledge about all the cards. Any and all help would be nice and appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Also for a side note my meta is basically everything, so it doesn't matter if it's good against one thing or another but I do play casual but competitive casual.

It would be better if you found a three color general because boros angels are so strong

Angelic Accord and Seraph Sanctuary do both the things you want.

Well 1 thank you guys so much for helping out with the deck.RazortoothMtg thank you for those excellent card suggestions, once I get the money I'll probably get them. McKz I'm possibly willing to add red but I do try to restrain from going to 3 colors as we all know it gets tricky after that but I'm open to what you are suggesting.

So are you talking Commander or casual 60-card? Because I have decks that do both:

Commander:



Casual 60-card (mono-white): Wings of Light, Wings of Life (this one is constantly under construction - just did an overhaul and haven't updated it on here. Last time I played it didn't work great after the overhaul, so it's time for more tinkering... Just use it for card ideas.)

Thank you libraryjoy but actually what my plan of the deck was to base it off of lifegain and angel tokens. I do know I'll be using Archangel of Thune, but I've been debating on if I should go GW so I can run more Angels with some mana ramp or RW Angels with the awesome effects as previously described by McKz. But I am looking to play casual.

Ok so I did do some research and GW Angels seem more appealing to me due the fact that; gives access to mana ramp and more lifegain cards. However some cards I was thinking of are the following:Seraph SanctuaryAjani's PridemateArchangel of ThuneAjani's MantraAngelic AccordAuthority of the ConsulsLuminarch AscensionChalice of Life  FlipMoonsilver SpearScroll of AvacynHowever I'm not sure if I'm missing some important cards that will help the deck overall or if I'm going in different directions with it. Thanks for all the help so far guys.

Cardsofchaos00 - You can include the soul sisters Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant. If you go green (and I'd recommend it for the ramp), you also have access to Essence Warden. The white deck I linked you to is actually based on lifegain triggering Angelic Accord, with Moonsilver Spear and Seraph Sanctuary. Other lifegain cards you might find handy: Nyx-Fleece Ram, Soulmender, and if you're playing multiplayer, Shattered Angel is a must. You can also give your creatures lifelink with equipment or enchantments. True Conviction is on the high end of the CMC scale, but it's fun. One game I was triggering Angelic Accord every time I had a turn with Seraph of Dawn + Fireshrieker. Sigil of the Empty Throne is good if you're running lots of enchantments. Also, lifegain doublers like Rhox Faithmender or Boon Reflection.

I have considered running the wardens and soul sisters as with the life gain triggering Archangel of Thune and the angel tokens. However I'm also thinking about Quicksilver Amulet, I'm also thinking Courser of Kruphix and Sylvan Caryatid or Birds of Paradise. As I said these are just thoughts but libraryjoy thank you for bringing up the wardens as I will now be researching for hours to see how this deck could be made with them. Thank you all who've helped so far, iit's greatly appreciated.

Hmmmmm. This deck is coming together at a slow pace but it is getting there. I thnking of maybe 4 Essence and Soul Warden. Maybe add in a Lumiarch Ascension and Honor of the Pure for the flyers. Ohhhh I liking where this is headed.

Luminarch will make you a target, just saying.

Yes I know this all too well. However my meta usually plays in one big group with now aggro decks. 2 drop the Ascension, wait till my turn and boom flyers start spewing.
