Blue_Flame on Angel deck v3.9.9?

4 days ago

I think this deck is awesome. Cool too see Ajani's Mantra find a home somewhere.

I think you could cut Thalia's Lancers in the board and replace them with some other cards:

Just for the spice you should put Phyrexian Unlife in your sideboard (it combos with Solemnity if you didn't know) for people who won't be expecting it and don't side in enchantment removal.

Also Stony Silence is a must in your sideboard, especially with all the artifact BS going on in Modern right now.

Font of Agonies is great synergy with Vona, Vilis, Hatred, Silent Clearing: 1B kill any creature is pretty awesome. I see you great recursion with Sun Titan + Hall of Heliod's Generosity . Might I suggest Greed like abilities also.

I see you have Thalia's Lancers in the maybe board. Let me convince you! It tutors for any Legendary (I count 14) and is also a Knight!

Ever consider Thalia's Lancers ?

Demarge on Aurelia's Angelic crusade

yeah linvala is pretty decent at stopping up some strategies. The skirmisher might be a better early cut than one of the akroma though.

Now Oketra's Monument is kind of good for mana ramp (these monuments proc their ability off any creature cast, not just the ones it discounts) and you can run cards like Kor Skyfisher or Whitemane Lion to abuse it and go wide on tokens, it gets extra weird when someone I suggest this to also has Divine Visitation (1 mana make an angel when the synergy is built). There is also Hazoret's Monument , while the discount pretty much only hits your commander having a loot engine can help out your minor reanimator strategy and smooth out your draws somewhat closer to that of blue. (it also works to turn land tax's land draws into non lands)

Oh yeah Thalia's Lancers is also a pretty decent tutor.

I'm ending up removing the golgari and selesnya guildgates in place of an Overgrown Tomb and a Radiant Fountain . I also removed Scepter of Dominance , Creeping Renaissance , Gaze of Granite , Brought Back , Aggressive Mammoth , Goring Ceratops , Thalia's Lancers , and Adarkar Valkyrie . I put in Thrive , Bramblesnap , Banehound , Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter , Sunblade Elf , Leafkin Druid , Birds of Paradise , Courser of Kruphix and District Guide . What do you think IMMG?

I would cut these cards for more Tutors, Clones, Draws, Counters and Mana Rocks. You are aiming to be a combo deck, but has a few value cards in there that doesn't really fit the idea or simply go in an opposing direction.

As a combo deck, you need to be able to dig your library for the combo pieces and answers. Creature Clones with Felidar offer another way of comboing with Knight and Altar that doesn't need Aminatou, while also being generally useful.

Call for Unity -> Doesn't help your game plan
Future Sight -> 5 mana is a lot, UUU is a lot and you can't abuse this
Scheming Symmetry -> if anyone answers your tutored card, you just gave a free tutor to an opponent
Rite of Replication -> Clone tokens can't combo with Felidar
Finale of Revelation -> Sorcery, you probably won't be paying x=10+
Akroma's Vengeance -> 6 mana for a wipe with no extra is too much, even more so considering you like your mana rocks.
Ashiok, Dream Render -> not having flash hurts this a LOT, while also making you a target for the rest of the table.
Tidehollow Sculler -> discard isn't that great on multiplayer and can't be abused by your usual flickers
Thalia's Lancers -> Too slow for a tutor, few impactful targets
Sphinx of Uthuun -> Flickering this is nice, high CMC isn't
Oona, Queen of the Fae -> Not very useful unless you have infinite mana, which you won't be having most of the time
Cavalier of Gales -> UUU is heavy, payoff is OK
Agent of Treachery -> high CMC
Reliquary Tower -> You don't really need this effect

Eldrazi Displacer -> You have 5 cards that generate Colorless and little ways of tutoring them, will be useless in quite a few matches. Of those 5, 4 are lands, so your chance of comboing with Peregrine Drake are even lower. The card is really strong, I wouldn't cut him, but I would adjust your manabase to have more Colorless sources. The panoramas for example are nice ways of having Colorless sources while still being able to fetch your colored lands.

It might not be a good idea, but it is an epic one. I don’t know if the full playset of each Brisela angel is necessary, though. Think of all the other angels you could fit in those slots! OG Avacyn, Baneslayer Angel , Entreat the Angels ... the list just keeps going! My advice: go on Gatherer and just list all the stupidly powerful angels on offer.

Also, Thalia's Lancers . Most of the big, splashy angels are legendary.

The most fun deck I own is the Legendary tribal Saskia the Unyielding . Honestly, decks that start as a stipulation are the best. For example, Saskia contains only legendary creatures (minus Thalia's Lancers ):

The Legend of Saskia

There are a lot of legendary-matters spells as well to reinforce the theme and there are enough legendary lands to make legendary lands as well.

The deck is aggressive and every creature serves a purpose - assembling a board state that is scary takes 2-3 creatures.
