This looks positively scary; nice job! Out of curiosity: why didn't you include Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots? Giving your voltron hexproof seems kinda logical. I see you've included Giver of Runes but not Mother of Runes; might be worth considering as your battlecruisers (including anti-venom) are your main mechanisms for winning with this deck so they need plenty of protection and a bit of redundancy doesn't hurt. Something similar could be said about Grand Abolisher and Myrel, Shield of Argive.

One more thing that's really noticeable: your deck doesn't have anything for dealing with opposing enchantments or artifacts. You could consider cards like Disenchant, Generous Gift, Heliod's Intervention and Return to Dust.

Hi theLegendred. I've played Avacyn for some time. Opponents I faced would keep counterspells and/or removal in reserve specifically for Avacyn's appearance (yup, she's considered that much of a threat). I found the following cards to deal with this:

• Aegis of the Gods/Metropolis Reformer: hexproof for yourself, which prevents opponents from targeting you with abilities/spells, amongst which are spells that force you to sacrifice your own creatures (which is one of the ways in which your opponents can still get rid of Avacyn, eventhough she's indestructible).
• Chimil, the Inner Sun: bit of an expensive piece of kit, but it's been pulling its weight regardless. Avacyn doesn't need to worry about counterspells no more and the value brought forth by the discovery ability is absolutely awesome in a battlecruiser deck.
• Defense Grid: makes countering spells a lot more expensive.
• Eight-and-a-Half-Tails/Giver of Runes/Mother of Runes: helps in case you don't have stuff like Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots on the field yet to equip to your most valuable creatures.
• Silence: cast this before casting Avacyn. Of course, this spell can still be countered, but that means one less counterspell held in reserve.

Wouldn't say it's necessary to include all of these, but including some will make a difference for sure. Good luck with the deck.

Those are good reasons not to include her, I was worried she might be too slow. My initial thinking was that, with Starfield Shepherd you are basically paying 3 mana for a 1 mana creature, and Haliya is probably better than grabbing a soul sister. What I didn't think about is that you can grab any of the other creatures you might be missing, like Ocelot Pride, Speaker of the Heavens, or Giver of Runes, so there is a lot of utility (as well as 2 creature etb triggers for the sisters).

• I gave the edge to Giver of Runes for having an additional toughness, and can also protect from colorless, which is a bit niche.

• I addressed this in the Draw & Tutor part of my primer:

"Imperial Recruiter - An excellent option for this deck, especially given the potential for repeat uses. Recruiter of the Guard could be another supplemental option to Imperial Recruiter. She would be able to tutor up 18/34 creatures, with some overlap with the 22/34 that Imperial Recruiter can tutor."

I gave the edge to Imperial Recruiter since it can grab options like Professional Face-Breaker, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Preston, the Vanisher, and Burakos, Party Leader.

• Hall of Heliod's Generosity is more so a contingency in case I recur any of my enchantments. It's niche, but I like it.

• I run Vault of the Archangel in my Mardu/Orzhov aggro decks, espcially if they have the Treasure support in the mid-game to threaten or actually use the activation. It's worked for me before.

so cool! I think that Giver of Runes might be a good addition to the main list. also Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose instead of Marauding Blight-Priest. overall I think it's working up to something great! definitely upvote worthy!
