Sustaining Spirit

Creature — Angel Spirit

Cumulative upkeep (1)(White) (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)

Damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.

Pus Kami and Sustaining Spirit seem a little situational sure you'll get soulshift for the first one and removal at the same time if facing anything with black in it it can be a problem. Whereas the second card can protect you, the bigger problem is the constant upkeep you have to pay for. Have you tested out Kami of False Hope or Selfless Spirit?

DemonDragonJ There is Sustaining Spirit without flying, but true under the normal design plan, angels do naturally have flying. I only suggested to shove the flying into the white activation to lower her power, remove the all-present life gain to not make her a nightmare for burn. White's slice of the color pie for repeatable activated abilities are pretty much reduced to: Grant life, stats or keywords (white loves to hoard keywords).

You could increase her CMC to better match her powers. However I stand by my previous statement that her green ability to grant hexproof should at the very least say "another target creature..." or have it cost .

I am building Tayam as more of an all in combo deck, I can find a million sac outlets and creatures that etb with tokens tor counters to feed Tayam but I'm having a bit of trouble finding a high enough density of things that make infinite mana, so I was wondering if you know of any pieces that are a little less obvious than devoted druid, altars, priest of gix and thornbite staff. Also, I was thinking that Sustaining Spirit and Command Beacon would be good in the deck. And Dripping-Tongue Zubera as an addition to hallowed spiritkeeper and caller of the claw, if anyone wanted a third of that style of effect.
I also agree with Kthululu about Wishclaw Talisman or maybe even Maralen of the Mornsong. As for the discard discussion, I have a Mind Slash as a useful sac outlet even though it cost a mana to activate because it can weaken. Lastly I like Gideon of the Trials but it is a bit cute.

I personally really like Geralf's Messenger. Also thanks for this, I had not thought of using Celestial Convergence, Sustaining Spirit and Lost Auramancers to combo with Solemnity. I'll have to add those to my own Ayli deck.

Hi all, I'm doing some finishing touches on my Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim deck Ayli reflects, Boon or Wound? and I'm curious if I have forgotten any good combos with the new Solemnity?

I have the following in the deck so far: Dark Depths, Lost Auramancers , Phyrexian Unlife, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Celestial Convergence.

Also two cumulative upkeep cards: Glacial Chasm and Sustaining Spirit .

I know I could possibly add Puppeteer Clique but it's only great depending on opponents deck so I'm mulling it over. Are there any cards I may have missed in orzhov that would also work with Solemnity here? Thanks!

I love your inclusion of Delaying Shield, Lich, and Sustaining Spirit, those are cards I'm also interested in trying out but have not found any room in my deck to put them in my own Selenia implementation. Is this deck still current?
