Angel of Destiny

Creature — Angel Cleric

Flying, double strike

Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you and that player each gain that much life.

At the beginning of your end step, if you have at least 15 life more than your starting life total, each player this creature attacked this turn loses the game.

Nice looking Angel-deck. I was just toying with the idea of how cool Blade of Selves can be in an Angel deck. Actually equipping that to amost of your Angels would be a nightmare for your opponents (assuming you play commander in 4-player pods). It would be amazing on Angel of Destiny, Archangel of Thune, Exemplar of Light, Righteous Valkyrie and Serra's Emissary to name but a few.

As for more conventional ideas, how about Sunblast Angel? She's a really nasty surprise when opponents' attacked the previous turn (another fun target for Blade of Selves, btw). Adarkar Valkyrie is also excellent; she can attack and still prevent something from dying afterwards. Even better, she can steal an opposing creature while saving it from death! Angelic Arbiter is also great; opponents either can't attack or can't cast spells; brutal.

Yeah, Troll and Yargle were just there when I was first putting it together. For the first day I was mostly looking at things that had a big difference in their P/T, and then looking at the abilities of the creatures before I finally came across Belligerent Brontodon. That was when I started focusing on Toughness specifically

The day I uploaded this deck was the day I had my first actual game with it, and I planned on buying some singles at the store it was hosted at. Unfortunately they didn't have anywhere near as many as I wanted, so it was a good thing that I brought Yargle and Troll as a backup

I'll definitely look into my Return to Zendikar collection in case I missed Angel of Destiny, though looking at its abilities, I don't see how I could have, Either way, I think I'll be adding it to the list along with most of your suggestions

Okay, so the creatures that assign damage based on your creatures' toughness that are in the Maybeboard are a good start.

I'm of the firm belief every deck should have at least one Alternate Win Card. May I suggest any combination of Angel of Destiny and Triskaidekaphobia? With the latter you can add in Tree of Perdition for a win combo.

Speaking of trees have you considered Tree of Redemption? If you add that with Huatli, the Sun's Heart you have a life gain boost if you can find a way to blink her.

Honestly, Unless you plan to add any combination of Inversion Behemoth and Transmutation to your deck, I don't see the point of having cards such as Loathsome Troll and Yargle.

Finally, I would recommend Crenellated Wall, Crystal Barricade, Felothar the Steadfast and Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa. Though in the case of the last one you'll have to reconsider some of the deck as you'll need creatures with power 2 or less.

I hope these help. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

I'm of the mindset that every deck should have at least one graveyard hate card unless your deck depends on graveyard interactions. Calamity's Wake and Scavenger Grounds are your best bets, though if you want to reuse SC, I would recommend adding Abraded Bluffs and other deserts.

In addition to graveyard hate, a deck should have a board wipe and an alternate win card to break stalemates. The board wipes I recommend are any combination of Bonfire of the Damned and Doomskar. The Alternate win cards I recommend are any combination of Angel of Destiny, Approach of the Second Sun and Felidar Sovereign. I would pick AotSS because not only is it a sorcery that feeds into Electrostatic Field and Guttersnipe, but if you target Mirrorwing Dragon or Zada with an instant or sorcery that allows you to draw a card, it copies onto each other creature you control— allowing you to get to it faster.

You also need a little more enchantment and artifact hate. Revoke Existence is my preferred card, but I'd also consider adding any combination of Rip Apart and Wear / Tear

A few more cards from your maybeboard I'd consider are Aurelia's Fury, Loran's Escape and Pinnacle Monk//Mystic Peak. Any other new instants and sorceries that target creatures should be able to draw you a card. Especially if you choose AofSS.

That's pretty much everything. I hope this h los. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Hey Andromedus! Thank you so much for your messages. I have been following the different versions of your deck with great interest. Please keep me updated on how it performs in real life!

As for my deck, I have two specific conditions I would like to stick to: 1. I want to keep the core combo of Shaman en-Kor + Daru Spiritualist + Starlit Sanctum + Angel of Destiny — a sort of cleric life-gain build. 2. I would like to keep it monowhite and tribal.

Within those two conditions, I would be extremely grateful for any further suggestions or recommendations you (or anyone else) might have. I recently tweaked it a bit…

Since you have the Huatli, Sun's Heart/Tree of Redemption combo, have you considered any combination of Felidar Guardian, Angel of Destiny and Test of Endurance? It's always good to have an Alt-Win card in your deck in the event you can't defeat your opponents through combat. I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

Since Extort is your main objective here, you may want to consider Pontiff of Blight. This will give all of your creatures Extort.

Considering your lack of board wipes I would definitely consider adding Merciless Eviction.

Protection spells including, but not limited to, Angelic Intervention, Faith's Shield and Sejiri Shelter  ^Flip have the advantage of protecting you from board wipes that damage rather than destroy, exile or reduce your creatures' toughness.

May I suggest Gerrard's Verdict? This could set your opponent back a little. Other discard cards I would suggest include, but not be limited to, Divest, Inquisition of Kozilek and Vicious Rumors.

My suggestion is to aim for cheaper control spells such as the protection and discard spells I mentioned(definitely keep Soul Tithe) and lean more into the Extort ability. Leave mana expensive spell slots only for board wipes. Then use cards such as Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose to cause more harm to your opponents.

Also, you can't go wrong with Graveyard hate. Cards such as Bojuka Bog and Lion Sash should be must adds.

Also, after doing all these changes if you find yourself with extra space, add in an Alternate Win Card for in case the game stalls . My Suggestions would be any combination of Angel of Destiny or Felidar Sovereign—both of which can feed into Pontiff of Blight.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Hey Basshunter, thanks for the sugestions.

I had Faceless Haven in the deck, at some point, to pair with The Book of Exalted Deeds, but my playgroup dosen't have any land destruction at all, (not because we are against, is just that nobody runs any "broken" land, so we never feel the need, the "meta" kind shaped tha way), so it became an automatically win, since nobody could interact with it. I usually stray away from that "win in the spot" type a thing, nothing against, is just dosen't fell that much earned, in comparison to beat the living shit of someone with angels, reason cut Angel of Destiny from the deck, as well.

Thanks for the input, if you have more fell free to give.
