Crystal Barricade, Myrel, Shield of Argive, High Noon, and Final Showdown are all pretty new, and {W}{U} and {U}{R}{W} have prominent Standard control decks. {W} and {U} would have an identity crisis if defensive strategies were reduced too much.

I don't think it's as much de-emphasizing defensive strategies as reducing stalemates. Between tournament time restrictions and the subjective "fun" factor, there's several reasons to avoid a board state where nothing happens. Going off High Noon, they're also including ways to break a deadlock within the cards that set the deadlock--Rule of Law that breaks its own parity. It should be possible to at least outline a dynamic prison deck at this point, something that keeps the board state advancing while still playing like a traditional hard control deck.

The game's not really here to model real-world military tactics. It's an entertainment product, so entertainment comes first. And as someone who likes control and prison effects, it's kind of a hard sell when the gameplay goes into stasis for more than a turn.

Thanks :) I tried running both Grand Abolisher and Voice of Victory, but my meta is such that one felt enough. I haven't tried Myrel, Shield of Argive as she's bit outside of my budget, but she would probably work real well.

Awesome combination of aggro and control, I really like what you've got going here. Have you considered either Voice of Victory and/or Myrel, Shield of Argive at any point? They offer some additional token creation, even though Adeline pumps out plenty on her own, and gives a bit of redundancy with the Grand Abolisher type of protection.

If you wanted to include either of them, I think you could cut a land or two, or some other piece of redundancy that you feel safe dipping on by one.

As an opponent, Myrel, Shield of Argive looks more suspicious, like you have combo's to protect. People might show aggression towards you more, because of that. If you don't actually have combo's to protect, I personally wouldn't want the additional aggression towards me because of it. I think that card makes you look more threatening than an Angel of Jubilation would. I'd rather play the anthem and accidentally annoy very specific opponents than look threatening in ways I'm not. But if you have a lot of soldiers in your deck otherwise, the attack trigger might become a reason to play Myrel.

Have a reason to include cards in your deck for supporting your strategy. That's almost always a better way to build your deck than discussing which card is individually more powerful. The cards need to perform well with the rest of your deck, make sure they fit. And looking scary without a plan to actually be scary is a foolish way to lose.

DreadKhan, plakjekaas, do you believe that Myrel, Shield of Argive would be a good replacement for Angel of Jubilation?

wallisface, Bookrook, would you consider Myrel, Shield of Argive a worthy replacement for Angel of Jubilation? Angels are some of my favorite creatures in the game, but Myrel has a more lenient mana cost, and her ability is likely to be relevant more frequently than is that of the angel, so I believe that she is a worthy replacement for the angel.

I don't agree with sylvannos, the Brotherhood Regalia allows you to attack with Myrel, Shield of Argive without the risk of losing her, which is arguably the most important part of the deck. I suggest adding more cards that allow you to do that such as Gustcloak Savior, Reconnaissance, Gideon Blackblade, Tegan Jovanka, and Loyal Unicorn.

Heyo, Fellow Mono-W Voltron Enjoyer here. I think this list would work well with Myrel, Shield of Argive. Not only is she a Factory on Swing, love her Grand Abolisher static ability. Have fun and Voltron-on my guy!
