Thanks DemonDragonJ, they are my favorite as well, it's always great meet another angel enthusiast.

Regarding your considerations:

For Deathbringer Liege, he is in a very crowded slot, the five mana spot have a lot sweet angels, if you put him next to Baneslayer Angel, he is strickly a better creature, but again... ANGELS. Also still hurts me take Witch of the Moors out, if a could fit her back in, i probaly will. But is something to consider, the removal built in is very intresting.

As for Thought Vessel and Reliquary Tower, i din't feel the need for expand my hand size, never really bothered me. Aside from the moment that i put in Necropotence for a little while, than i needed those cards kkk, but i moved to another deck.

As for Greed, i whanted to put it, in a early version of the deck, but i alredy own Arguel's Blood Fastfoil  Flip, so used insted, and it put a lot of work, that i decide to stick with it. When Black Market Connections realease, i make the change for that. I personaly believe that you can't have such think as "too much draw", so i don't know what i take it out for put Greed in, but i not shure if is that much better than Arguel's Blood Fastfoil  Flip.

As for Debt to the Deathless, i don't think is that much efficient, the way i see it, you have to sink in a lot mana to make count, the only way my deck can make that much mana is with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, so i don't know if is a good idea dedicated a slot for that card, with a small chance to make a splash.

As for your question regarding Fellwar Stone it never was a problem to me, it fix my mana somethimes, but most of the times i alredy have the lands to do that, it is in there mostly because of the limited amount of mana rocks that exists for only 2 mana, but if i feel the need, Thought Vessel is a solid replacement, as you suggested.

Sorry for the long ass response. Again, i appreciate the love for the deck, feel free to give more suggestions, flavor choices are welcome too.

Bubbling Muck - Ramp

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Helps ramp coffers + makes bubbling muck more powerful (albeit, symmetrical)

Do keep in mind contamination will shut down your coffers + stronghold. But it also shuts down opposing nykthos, cradle, etc...

Crypt of Agadeem - Ramp

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - Ramp

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician - Synergy

Actually, Quackisaurus I think you'd be underwhelmed by Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. And that's putting it lightly, because we also acknowledge that it shoots the deck in the foot by eating up a spot that could be used to make sure I reach Domain on turn 2. If you happen to have the card as a land in hand on your turn 1, cool.. but it'd be a Reach to make sure you use it in time and on time, consistently.

Quackisaurus I agree, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx seems pretty powerful.

Tribal Flames hits creature or player for damage if Domain active, which is the intent of the burn spell.

Hey legendofa, thanks for the upvote! I saw your Leyline of the Guildpact deck the other day (as you know) and thought the combo approach was quite crafty.

That card has been on my radar since it spoiled and I thought maybe something can be done based on devotion (Aspect of Hydra)? Imho green has some very solid leylines anyway (Leyline of Abundance, Leyline of Vitality) and with cards like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx that might be able to get outta hand quickly.

I'd appreciate your opinion on the idea, since I know you're a fellow theorycrafter. What do you think would be a reasonable shell? Can not make up my mind between enchantment tribal, or mana dork tribal or sth else entirely.

Cheers!

Hey many thanks! The Mutavault + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth package is definitely appealing and something I'd like to keep my eye on going forward, though I've opted out of using them at present due to mana consistency considerations with my 4x Castle Locthwain and 4x Bloodletter of Aclazotz, two absolute cornerstones of this build. (As far as I can tell from watching others play similar decks, you gain a lot of edges by more or less insuring that your mana only helps and virtually never hinders you--Mutavault, while very powerful, is also a recipe for occasional mana screw). Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is also (obviously) appealing if somewhat less competitive, but at this time I'm not even sure what I would do with the extra mana save for spending it occasionally on Tainted Adversary triggers!

I think you could add 1x or 2x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and have a bit of fun. Or, 1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and 2x or 3x Mutavault would be effective.

Cool deck! +1 from me!

Some thoughts:

  • Speaker of the Heavens feels pretty useful/mandatory here.

  • The Book of Exalted Deeds is pretty useless unless you have some way to abuse it (i.e putting it on a land). Steel Seraph also feels out-of-place and unhelpful here.

  • I’m not convinced that Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is helpful here, as it might trip-up your early turns more than it’ll help you late game - most your early turns require only white-pips, which it can’t help with. Late game i don’t see you needing mana anyway.

  • Even though I don’t think you want Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, i do think you need more lands. 20 is super low, and I would think this deck needs at least 23 to perform.

  • your deck is doing a lot at sorcery speed, you’re unlikely to be able to use Shelter in a way that isn’t clumsy - i’d just ditch it.
