kirbysan on [Primer] Helming the Host of Heaven *Update*

5 months ago

Guerric

Buddies cancelled so I played 3 pub games instead:

Opponents: Esix, Fractal Bloom, Captain N'ghathrod, Sigarda, Host of Herons

Starting hand: Emeria, The Sky Ruin, Plains, Plains, Path to Exile, Angelic Page, Archangel of Tithes, Sanctuary Warden

As we played through the game it became clear that Esix was the big threat. The board was wiped twice, once with N'ghathrod's Hex and a second time with Sigarda's Day of Judgment. Archangel of Tithes helped get a few early attacks in against Esix as they usually tapped out to play some bigger spells.

I was able to keep Esix in check a few times by using Path to Exile on their commander when they were about to pop off. I also used Oblation again on Esix when they cast a Pest Infestation destroying my Crucible of Worlds and Vanquisher's Banner but netting 12 pests. Finally, I had a Kabira Takedown  Flip but only 2 creatures on the field so it couldn't deal with anything on Esix's board so I used it on Sigarda's Soul Warden.

At the final turn I had Sanctuary Warden equipped to Sword of Feast and Famine, Righteous Valkyrie and Angelic Field Marshal. In my hand I had Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Emeria Shepherd, Sword of Hearth and Home and a Seraph Sanctuary. Giada had been removed 3 times this game so she cost 8. Esix was at 6 but also had a Sublime Epiphany with open mana and a Craterhoof Behemoth in hand with 19 creatures, mostly 1/1 tokens on board.

As I'm writing this I realized I had the answer but didn't realize it at the time. If I had casted Sword of Hearth and Home Esix would have countered it and bounced my Sanctuary Warden forcing it out of their hand. I could then equip the Sword of Feast and Famine to another angel and swung for lethal since they had no flying blockers. I could have also moved to equip Sword of Feast and Famine to another angel which they could've countered once, but I had open mana to do it again. Despite losing this round let's count it as a win due to my misplay.

Opponents: Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, Captain N'ghathrod, Sigarda, Host of Herons

Starting hand: Windswept Heath, Sol Ring, Pearl Medallion, Angel of Vitality, Mangara, the Diplomat, Soul Warden

Perhaps this was a risky hand to keep but with the Sol Ring and Pearl Medallion I could literally play everything in my hand if not disrupted so I kept it.

Kraum also kept a risky hand but it paid off for them in the short term. They cast a Show and Tell which let me only drop Angel of Vitality but they dropped an Omniscience and proceeded to play out their hand giving themselves an immense board state on turn 3.

Kraum made a serious misplay here as they used a Cyclonic Rift on my Sol Ring and a bounce spell that returned all creatures with power less than 5. This was supposed to wipe the board but Angel of Vitality was a 5/5. They followed this up with a Wheel of Misfortune paying 35 life expecting us to bet high life totals so they wouldn't get the wheel. Unfortunately for them we bid pretty low numbers and Kraum took the full 35. With no flying blockers on board they were dead next turn.

With Kraum out of the game and a fresh 7 card hand I ended up dominating the board. Some nice synergies were using Sword of Hearth and Home on Sanctuary Warden to 2 cards a turn, one for ETB, one for swinging. Bishop of Wings with Resplendent Angel and Angelic Accord gave me double angels on my end steps. Finally, having Emeria, The Sky Ruin and 7 plains let me fill my boardstate quickly. While the game took longer I never hit another board wipe and closed it out with 64 life.

Opponents: Kykar, Wind's Fury, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice & Sigarda, Host of Herons

Starting Hand: Flooded Strand, Path of Ancestry, Soul Warden, Luminarch Ascension, Pyre of Heroes, Folk Hero, Angelic Curator

I was excited about this hand because it had 2 new cards that hadn't come up in the last couple games I played so I wanted to test it out. While it should have curved out pretty nicely, having only Folk Hero as the draw card with a single angel should've been a warning sign. My early board state included Giada, Font of Hope, Soul Warden and Luminarch Ascension. As predicted, Luminarch Ascension was able to get 3 counters on it after a single turn.

However I was hit by a board wipe early on and had to decide whether to use Luminarch's ability or recast Giada. I foolishly recast Giada only to have her removed again with Skysovereign, Consul Flagship. When Sigarda went to blow up Luminarch I produced 3 4/4 angels with 6 mana to give me some blockers. I had also drawn into The Ozolith but it was only able to add 1 counter on it.

For the rest of the game Kykar solely targeted me with their growing vehicle board state. Since Giada now cost 6 and Skysovereign was pinging for 3 every turn I couldn't waste the mana to recast her which turned off Folk Hero. I cast Angelic Curator just for a blocker since it would be hugely advantageous against vehicles but it was promptly removed with Dispatch by Kykar. I was also able to draw into a Mask of Memory but was stalled out since Kykar had Spirit token blockers, Atraxa had their commander and Sigarda also had their commander. I was the first to be knocked out and this was a definite loss. I did cast Pyre of Heroes but didn't draw into any angels until late game so it had no effect.

Archangel of Tithes is actually pretty great but probably more effective as a late game play when board states are bigger. Battlecruiser decks will typically tap out to get the edge and will not hold up mana for tax effects which will help in getting damage through.

Luminarch Ascension is a great card but also a lightning rod. In the third game it presented a threat early on and if Giada hadn't been removed twice so early it could've helped end the game. Not getting those +1/+1 counters on the angels hurt my game plan quite a lot.

The Ozolith saw play but had little impact. Again, if Giada hadn't been removed early I could've dumped all those counters onto it and preserved threats.

Pyre of Heroes also saw play but had little impact. The overall flow of the game meant I was essentially stuck. Eye of Vecna would've been more impactful here but since Kykar had such an oppressive board state I would need to play much bigger threats to make a difference.

While Giada may not always be necessary to our gameplan, not having her and being unable to cast her slows us up so much that opponents can just out ramp or out threaten us pretty quickly. Dodging an entire table's board wipes and single target removals is pretty tough and makes me consider Lightning Greaves or Swiftfoot Boots again.

With so few creatures, do you find yourself wanting blockers more often? Perhaps the Burnished Hart could leave in favor of Kykar, Wind's Fury? Most of your spells would get you a spirit, which could also be used for mana in turn, if you didn't need it to block.

Quickspell on Does this infinite combo with …

I'm pretty sure this works but I just want to make sure I don't overlook anything.

  1. I have Kykar, Wind's Fury and Displacer Kitten on the battlefield.

  2. I cast a cantrip like Needle Drop, let it resolve (using or ignoring the optional Kitten trigger) and create one spirit with Kykar.

  3. I cast another cantrip like Ancestral Anger, let it resolve (using or ignoring the optional Kitten trigger) and create one spirit with Kykar.

  4. I sac those two spirits for and add to play Ardent Elementalist and bring back to hand one of those cantrips, say Needle Drop.

  5. I recast Needle Drop triggering Kykar to create a spirit, Kitten to flicker the Elementalist, and that to bring back Ancestral Anger from my graveyard to hand.

  6. let everything resolve and have Needle Drop go to my graveyard.

  7. Using the spirit created in step 4, I recast Ancestral Anger to repeat steps 4 & 5, creating a loop.

This should allow me to draw my deck (and actually, by repeatedly casting Needle Drop kill at least one opponent who was dealt damage this turn).

It doesn't matter whether I use a sorcery cantrip or an instant, because it always has to resolve and go to the graveyard in order to recurr the other. (Obviously instants allow me to do this on my opponents turn.)

Is this correct?

And do you have any recommendations on how to optimize this?

I have Kykar, Wind's Fury and Mentor of the Meek on the battlefield. I cast a noncreature spell, triggering Kykar to creature a spirit token. Can I sacrifice that particular token to pay for Mentor?

Looks like a solid, balanced design to me. I'd allow it.

On the subject of p/t, I've never really noticed anything like what y'all are talking about. I mean, not like a direct, mathematical correlation between p/t and MV. Not that I think you're incorrect, just that I've never noticed it. Having said that, I think that it's important to consider number of abilities and how powerful those abilities are.

In this case, a token producer that can very quickly fill the board, coupled with a burn machine, at 5MV, is very suitably placed at 3 power. Anything higher than that, in my opinion, should merit a higher cost.

Now, if it had Islandhome instead of islandwalk, that would be different. In that case, 5/4 or even 6/5 would be appropriate. However, considering its abilities, a high power like that is superfluous, for the reasons that TypicalTimmy already stated. This is not a CMDRDMG kinda dude.

Too bad it isn't Jeskai colors, though. I'd love to see Kykar, Wind's Fury and Mirror Entity in here, hahaha. But it definitely makes more sense the way you have it.

I like the concept of this deck! is my personal favorite colour combo, I like outside the box game plans, and goading is just funny!

About the commander, there is a website called "Card Conjure" that allows you to make custom cards, as long as you already have an image (Card Conjure lets you write rules text and add frames. You will need to either upload an image, or copy a URL). I did not make Card Conjure, nor am I a professional proxy/alter artist, I just like things that look pretty, and I use Card Conjure whenever I don't like a frame, or art, but you can make your own cards on it. You could (if you wanted) make the commander for this deck then make it an alter for either Kykar, Wind's Fury (for a 4 mana Jeskai colour Legend) or Lotus Path Djinn (for a 4 mana 2/3), then add the alter as your commander. If that sounds like a lot, I'm willing to volunteer to do it in my spare time (I'm a student) if you gave me a general idea about what she looks like, and if you gave me a name. If you want to do it yourself, feel free to, as well. The link to Card Conjure is this: https://cardconjurer.com/creator/.

Do you mind if I copy this deck idea? It seems interesting!
