, Reveal X white cards from your hand, Sacrifice Martyr of Sands: You gain three times X life.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused where the scam is here? Angels are cool but I expected some solitude ephemerate action, Restoration Angel or something along those lines, given the title. Also I would recommend if you want to be a 4x Martyr of Sands deck, try out the card Abiding Grace for truly massive amounts of lifegain by recurring your martyrs and other 1 drops every turn. Kami of False Hope is another classic mono white martyr card usually run in conjunction with these.

Wrath of God over Day of Judgment, regen not super relevant rn but theres shit like hardened scales with Welding Jar

no Martyr of Sands? you already have 4 squadron hawk

Abiding Grace is great, gives you inevitability and a mid late CA grinding engine

The One Ring is always good but even better if youre a lifegain deck, unfortunately a single copy costs half as much as your entire deck

Theres a better ajanis pridemate now, Voice of the Blessed

1-2 Emeria, the Sky Ruin also good

Hi! I love lifegain aswell, specially the soul sisters..

In here i think that Martyr of Sands could be a real beast!!

And every deck with The Book of Exalted Deeds needs a Mutavault and a Faceless Haven in my opinion! A land is bit harder to remove than a normal angel.. =)

Yeah, for people unrestricted by era there are much better cards available, but depending on how restrictive your card pool is it's a reasonable include in some decks. Obviously it's up to you if you want to use it, I don't play any of the 'banned for insensitivity' cards personally, I prefer to not use cards that might bother people, but I don't have a playgroup and don't want to have to explain something that has that much baggage during pre-game.

Depending on how many of your creatures ended up being Soldiers their is Field Marshal in Coldsnap, not especially cheap though. If you really want some life gain you might like Martyr of Sands.

How sold are you on 24 Plains? I could very well be wrong, but it seems like you'll end up with quite a few during longer games, how often do you win before turn 6 or 7 with this deck? TBH I don't think you're far off, but I'd try to shave down to 23 or 22 and see if it runs more smoothly late game.

One thing that could work well with Squadron Hawk is Martyr of Sands. The extra hawks in hand will provide a bigger life boost, and Martyr decks typically do very well if they can stall out the game long enough, which a horde of 1/1 flyers should be able to help with.

All right Squee_Spirit_Guide. It's time for the build-around challenge! When I crafted the list for Balaam__ I hand selected things I believed would interest them.

And without further ado, I introduce the "Martyr or Magus" challenge? Will you pick...

Martyr?

Magus?

So do these creatures intrigue you? We have plenty of options for building possibilities, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on other ideas if this falls short.

Icbrgr on What is the "best" way …

lol yup legendofa you did apparently have the fog itch awhile back and I commented on that thread too lol. The Solitary Confinement route really seems unique/fun/risky to build around (I love it)... and Martyr of Sands just seems genius wallisface THE CONCEPT OF That build looks neat!

I think I agree with nbarry223 with taking a liking to the scepter/spell route...the utility of spells like Blessed Respite/Dawn Charm have a lot of appeal to me... but i could just be having a case of "the grass is greener on the other side" going on because I own all to 1-2mv/cmc spells i could want for Isochron Scepter but tempted by the new hotness that Abiding Grace offers but im not exactly sure if its "better" or not.

A few notes

Mono white lifegain payoffs are limitedly effective unless you go with Aetherflux Reservoir they require combat.

Cards to look at. I didn't look into budget tbh. But a few could maybe fit.

Martyr of Sands tons of life t1/2

On Thin Ice if you go to snow lands and play this.

Serra Ascendant 1 mana 66

Mikaeus, the Lunarch xx creature also buffs the team.

Containment Priest spicy sideboard card

Righteous Valkyrie lifegain payoff

Voice of the Blessed lifegain payoff
