Anatak on Defender Lifegain... Lets get political

5 days ago

Hello, thank you for listing this very interesting deck. I've been thinking about a similar idea, combining Defenders and Lifegain.

I really like the Angelic theme with Angelic Accord, Luminarch Ascension and Angelic Wall. Very flavourful! I see Seraph Sanctuary in your Maybeboard and think it would only add to this strong flavour.

The Pride Guardian and Wall of Essence haven't turned out to be strong cards in my experience, because they rely on your opponent attacking you to proc the lifegain. Although I suppose that does work very well with Luminarch Ascension, since it discourages your foes to attack you.
Perimeter Captain is a strong enough card on its own and is exempt from this, and may even encourage you to run other good defenders which don't gain life, such as: Wall of Omens and Jeskai Barricade, the later of which by the way is a much needed combat trick, which the deck is currently light on.

A card you may wish to consider is Archangel of Thune, although its expensive! Another is Dawn of Hope.

In any case I wish you luck with the deck and thank you for inspiring some changes in my own build.

Thanks mate, i actually had True Conviction in here, but i cut it out for cheaper cmc Voice of the Blessed. I think i have enough lifegain-events in here to get Archangel of Thune out of control without the need of Conviction....but still it is a super strong card - it simply doesnt synergyses with one of the key card Springjack Shepherd...I have to think about it..

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Aurelia, …

I very much would like to put Aurelia, the Law Above into these two EDH decks, but I am not certain what cards I should remove to make room, for her.

For my Uril, the Miststalker deck, I believe that I could replace Flameblade Angel with Aurelia, because, while Flameblade Angel is an excellent card, she is reactive, while Aurelia is proactive, but my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck is slightly more complicated, since I am not certain which card to remove. I originally was contemplating removing Archangel of Thune, but she is too amazing to not have in this deck, so I think that I may instead remove The Immortal Sun, because, while that is an excellent card, it does not contribute to the overall theme of that deck.

What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put Aurelia, the Law Above into those two decks?

True Conviction with Archangel of Thune is a monster Synergy. First strike hits doubling the power on board then double strike hits getting a massive life total and doubling again.

Scapegoat will get the job done. Bonus points for refilling your hand if a boardwipe you can't otherwise avoid happens.

Together Forever is an excellent option if you have a counter theme (Felidar Retreat, Anduril, Narsil Reforged, Archangel of Thune, Cathars' Crusade, Nykthos Paragon, Luminous Broodmoth, etc.)

Archangel of Thune puts a counter on each creature you control as long as she connects. You don’t even have to build into life gain with her.

Only reason I see that she isn’t already included is you have enough 5 or higher drops already.

I've had really good results with a +1+1 counter subtheme. Anduril, Narsil Reforged, Shadrix Silverquill, Felidar Retreat, Archangel of Thune, Drana, Liberator of Malakir, and Nykthos Paragon (an enchantment and Alela conveniently has lifelink) are my go-wide +1+1 counters and Felisa, Fang of Silverquill / Breena, the Demagogue are my single target/support guys.

Reconnaissance is amazing here. Swing with EVERYONE safely, deal combat damage in most situations, and have every one of those creatures untapped by the end of combat.

Vault of the Archangel effects combat in your favor even if you don't activate it. Just the unspoken threat of potential activation makes people think twice and when it is activated, you'll gain huge chunks of life.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Alela's Aerodynamics: A Crash Course

I tried to make this on MTG.Design and it kept breaking.

Aurelia, Exemplar of War

Legendary Creature - Angel Soldier

Flying, vigilance, haste

Whenever Aurelia attacks, for each attacking nontoken Angel you control, create a number of 4/4 white Angel creature tokens with flying and vigilance tapped and attacking the same defending player or permanent.

4/4

So if Archangel of Thune is attacking Invasion of Zendikar  Flip, a 4/4 will be created ALSO attacking the Invasion as well.
