Karmic Guide

Creature — Angel Spirit

Flying, protection from black ((Remember the acronym debt.) This can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked or targeted by anything black. Anything black attached to this immediately falls off.)

Echo (At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)

When this enters, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

theNeroTurtle, I agree with clayperce. It seems to me that the changes you’ve been making already show the direction you’re heading in. What needs to keep being done is continuing to filter the Angels and solidify the manabase. The focus should be, above all, on that and on card draw.

Some other options to keep in mind going forward, considering what I mentioned and also the possibility of exploring different approaches (+1/+1 counters, tokens, and so on): Herald's Hornfoil, Vanquisher's Banner, Conjurer's Mantle, Patchwork Banner, Stoneforge Masterwork, Warrior's Resolve, Cathars' Crusade, Court of Grace, Teleportation Circle (with Inspiring Overseer or Karmic Guide), Together Forever, Cut a Deal, Split Up (just because it’s better than Guan Yu's 1,000-Li March), Sword of the Animist, Door of Destinies…

theNeroTurtle -
Thinking about this a little more, and wondering if there are any Angel-focused combos worth adding. Please take this as brainstorming though, not an actual suggestion, as I'm not sure if it would help or harm the deck! :-D

Unfortunately, the only "pure" Angel combo I know of is Giada, Font of Hope + Twilight Shepherd + an artifact-based sac' outlet (e.g., Phyrexian Altar or Blasting Station).

There are others, based around Karmic Guide, Restoration Angel, and Archangel of Thune, but I'm not sure any of those can be accomplished without pulling in other creature types :-/

Cheers!

Karmic Guide Spirited Companion Abuelo's Awakening Maybe Felidar Guardian Skyclave Apparition only has the downside trigger once. Might be other similar cards. Leonin Relic-Warder lets you bypass the downside with instant-speed blinks

SaberTech on How Are Black, White, and …

7 months ago

In terms of the flavour of each colours' mechanics:

Black doesn't care about the individuality or humanity of what it reanimates. The corpse is just a tool to use for the Black mage's goals. Black gets cheap reanimation effects because it doesn't care about bringing the person back to life, it just wants to get those bones moving. That's why a number of black's reanimation effects also make the creature a zombie when brought back from the graveyard or depict the creature being revived as a zombie in the artwork.

White's reanimation is framed either as the uplifting of the weak (characterized by generally limiting the reanimation target to things with a mana value of 2 or 3) or as some sort of grand miracle of revival that heals and gives a champion a second chance (See higher costed effects like Karmic Guide). It tries to convey a sense of faith that all will be well and people will endure.

Green generally returns cards back to the hand instead of the battlefield because it's framed more as a new member of a species taking the place of a dead one, like when a bear gets to take up the territory of another bear that has passed away. It's all about the cycle of nature continuing on. Even with cards like Reincarnation, the flavour is that one life was given up and a new one takes its place. Green doesn't care about a given individual, once a person's time is up then that's it. Their passing gives room for the growth of another.

Profet93 on Yosei Stasis

All good points. Here are some other cards to throw your way.

Karmic Guide - Nothing special but worth mentioning. Bonus points with skullclamp.

Smothering Tithe - White good stuff, which can get repetitive so I understand why it likely isn't included.

Loyal Retainers - Fun little guy, gets thalia as well for what it's worth. Probably not the best card but thought it might be something.

Academy Rector - Can get your 2, 6 mana enchantments, an effective blocker and easy to sac in this deck.

I really like how you built this staxy version.

Flarhoon13 on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Oops, I Did it Again

1 year ago

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Oops, I Did it Again won, Comboed off on my fifth attempt thru lots of disruption. Ian and Madison didn't team up, on their Ren and Stimpy, err, Rin and Seri, Inseparable and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic decks. Murderous Redcap entered at least 5 times and Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit about three before the combo finally stuck, with Karmic Guide out and then Renegade Reaper milled a Reveillark, starting a new combo that finally won the game.

SlangNTrees13 on Whippits (Jolly Balloon Man Token Primer)

1 year ago

Hey TitanWalls, I really like Threefold Thunderhulk. That's a lot of tokens coming in with a copy ability or untap or two to take advantage of our damage pingers. Ancient Gold Dragon has also caught my eye if I decide to slot in anymore high mana cost baddies. For now I had stayed away from going heavy token creation and focusing on our own balloon tokens, as do you feel the 7 mana is still worth it when we could be dropping the likes of Battle Angels of Tyr or Charismatic Conqueror for much less? You have got the wheels turning though here to shift our focus towards damage pingers with copiable token creators. I do like it very much. I run Boss's Chauffeur in my Jetmir deck to great effect and the lower 5 mana cost is appealing despite its other creature dependent conditionality. If I do move to the token route it would definitely make sense. Custodi Soulbinders Cool one, but don't want to have to pay that 3 mana activation cost. For Jackdaw Savior I had to read your comment and sat for a second and then went, "Does it copy the mana value? Have I ever known this?" and then realize yes, yes it does. So, Jackdaw I'm going to get in for sure, don't want to lose Sevinne's Reclamation as I want to be able to get any permanent, so Karmic Guide will most likely get the chop. You are right, edhrec is good at listing any Commander synergy cards. Thanks for the suggestions. See if I can't get a few token focused games going today as I'm happy to lose Felidar Guardian and Restoration Angel and move away from the blink focus I am thinking.

Predator_90 on Angels Modern

albanshqiptar not just etbs but even just angels like Archangel of Tithes with cool static abilities to surprise the opponent with aether vial. Also for card drawing like 2x veil of summer, 2x reprieve would be nice. Recursion from graveyard is useful aswell if you can't drow much, maybe a Karmic Guide or you can put in Dawn of Hope since you get many hp.
