Exquisite Archangel

Creature — Angel

Flying

If you would lose the game, instead exile Equisite Archangel and your life total becomes equal to your starting life total.

Epicurus on Card creation challenge

Necrosis24 That's a very random prompt. I would think that the card would have to also have some way of exchanging life totals built into it, because otherwise there wouldn't be a whole lot of support for the requisite triggered ability. Are there even any cards out there that exchange life totals? Probably are, or you wouldn't have issued the challenge. But the fact that I can't name one means that they'd have to be fairly rare. Is it alright if I tweak the challenge a little?


Nature's Atonement

Enchantment

Whenever a player's life total changes, if that change wasn't the result of gaining life, losing life or taking damage, that player mills 10 cards and discards their hand

Whenever your life total would become zero or less, it becomes 10 instead. Then, sacrifice Nature's Atonement.


This would also trigger on cards like Tree of Perdition, Arbiter of Knollridge, Exquisite Archangel, Sorin Markov and so on.

I hope that satisfied the challenge. If someone has a better way of handling this, then please redo. Otherwise, wildcard.

Hey, well done on a budget. Nice Aurelia, the Warleader :)

Phyrexian Reclamation can be a repeatable source of recursion for Kaalia or any other creature, even at instant speed. Let Kaalia die, put her into your graveyard not the Command Zone; recur her to your hand which bypasses Commander tax. Dragon Tempest is a source of haste for Kaalia and any flying creature you cast or reanimate. It has the bonus of being able to do damage if the creature is a Dragon.

Dragon Mage pairs well with Emeria Shepherd . Mage discards the permanents that you then reanimate with Shepherd and Mage refills your hand to keep doing it. Nahiri, the Harbinger can be reanimated by Shepherd and her -8 in two turns can tutor for any creature or artifact including Shepherd. -8 Nahiri, tutor for Shepherd, play a Plains and reanimate Nahiri. Nahiri has other uses besides her -8 she can be repeatable discard/draw for reanimation or even repeatable removal that exiles.

Rakdos, Lord of Riots is a Demon who can reduce the casting cost of all other Angels/Demons/Dragons. If he or other creatures are attacking and doing combat damage to opponents then he's ramp to cast high CMC creatures which helps if Kaalia is disrupted. Arcane Signet is a staple mana rock in Commander. Orzhov Signet and Rakdos Signet is more two drop ramp.


Some changes to consider, with suggestions of cuts close to or equal in price:

My advice is cut the majority of the equipment theme for more ramp since ramp is going to help more to cast Kaalia and high CMC creatures. Phage the Untouchable and Sigarda's Aid are two expensive price cards for your budget that aren't doing much in your deck. You can't cheat Phage onto the battlefield with Kaalia or reanimation which makes it pretty useless. Aid is a good card, but not taking enough advantage of equipment and I don't think you need to since the most important equipment you want to play Greaves/Boots are low mana cost to cast and equip.

If interested I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.

A few cards that haven’t been mentioned yet, and that are relatively budget: Nine Lives Forbidden Crypt Immortal Coil Nefarious Lich Abyssal Persecutor works as a great insurance policy when it’s in the other side of the battlefield, as well as protecting yourself and stopping the opponent from using “win the game” cards. Soul Echo is pretty nice, it only requires a gift effect. Transcendence is similar, but can’t be cast when you’re above 19 life. Stunning Reversal can help save you if you can’t give one of your self-harm spells to your opponent. It’s also a great way to save yourself. Exquisite Archangel works similarly. Demonic Pact Curse of Vengeance gives you a nice boost when you eliminate a player. Shauku, Endbringer is a slower self-harm, which can be used on your side too. If you want, you can also use a Pacifism effect on it and give it to an opponent.

Duplicity is a great card for more co-op builds.

TypicalTimmy: To be clear, Exquisite Archangel and similar effects are just replacement effects, not delayed triggers. A delayed trigger is a triggered ability that gets set up by some other resolving spell or ability using the words "when", "whenever", or "at" to wait for a certain event and trigger at some point in the future. A triggered ability that triggers "when you would lose the game" wouldn't be able to stop you from losing because the game would execute the SBA right before the trigger is actually put onto the stack.

Normally I wouldn't pick at such a small detail but the answer to this question is all about the fine details of the rules. I just wanted to be sure the point didn't get confused.

What about Exquisite Archangel? She combos well with Aetherflux Resevoir, which you always seem to draw.

Also, Cinder Giant.

Love to see another Angel EDH deck made here on tapped out. I am also working on an EDH Angel Tribal Deck Angels Brought The Apocalypse. It's defiantly on the competitive side but noticed we share a lot of cards already. Also depending on what you mean by making them cheap, here's my recommendation list.

Cheap Angels to add maybe: Angel of Finality , Exquisite Archangel , Serra's Guardian , Sephara, Sky's Blade , Reya Dawnbringer , Resolute Archangel , Deathless Angel , and Twilight Shepherd .

Expensive Angels you could add: Akroma, Angel of Wrath , Angel of the Dire Hour , Baneslayer Angel , Archangel of Tithes , Karmic Guide , and Platinum Angel .

Looking at your deck already I definitely recommend adding Deathless Angel , Baneslayer Angel , Sephara, Sky's Blade , and Serra's Guardian .

Lastly, if this deck is already made, Shalai, Voice of Plenty cannot be in your mono white deck because there is green in its color identity. Even though green is not in its casting cost it has green in its ability. That's why Golos, Tireless Pilgrim is considered a five color commander even though he is still colorless.
