This looks pretty cool! I'm still pondering if I should build Mama Bear, especially because I already have Goreclaw. But then again, Duskana is basically the antithesis to her. We'll see.

Some cards I'd consider for this deck are these:

Welcoming Vampire. It's not a 2/2 itself, but draws additional cards. Seems good enough.

Wild Pair. It weirdly doesn't work here if you have anthem effects, but it's insane with a deck full of 2/2s.

Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald. Draws cards and makes quite a lot of 2/2s.

Hornet Queen. It's a 2/2, but it brings 6 flying, deathtouching power. Great for defense. And just imagine casting literally anything with a Wild Pair out to get this thing in addition.

Bane of Progress. 'Nuff said ;)

Thanks to Duskana caring about base P/T, Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma actually works quite well here. If you properly stack her trigger and Duskana's, your 2/2s will become 6/6 trampling forces of nature.

Dusk / Dawn is perfect for the deck. Boardwipe? Check. Big splashy value spell? Check!

Ayula's Influence would need quite a lot of land recursion to play it here, so that's a clear maybe.

Hey! Thanks for the recommendations Coward_Token! I know Delney doesn't double Merry or Welcoming Vampire's triggers but it still does synergize with almost two thirds of the creatures in the deck so I think its still worth it. I like the Monologue Tax, though Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff arguably does it better, still redundancy might not be a bad thing. I think Smuggler's Share is really interesting, but maybe too easy to play around the part that gives me the treasures? I love Revel in Riches, had it in and Admiral Beckett Brass deck a while back so it could definitely be a worthy inclusion. Not sure the rest do more than anything I already have but I'll do some testing and then decide. I really appreciate the suggestions!

JoltsOfEnergy on Can Dhelney make Welcoming Vampire …

Here's a question regarding Welcoming Vampire.

If I have a Delney, Streetwise Lookout, will Welcoming Vampire trigger an additional time when I play a creature with power 2 or less? It doesn't say Delney copies this ability, rather it triggers an additional time. And Welcoming Vampire says it triggers only once each turn. How does this interaction work?

I'd say Nightshade Harvester, Sunscorch Regent, and Luminarch Aspirant. If the harvester is a meta call for lots of ramp/landfall, I'd understand the inclusion though.

That starts to cut into your creature count so another change I would suggest is switching from your 1 time sorcery speed draw like Read the Bones, Night's Whisper, and Sign in Blood to things like Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip, Tymna the Weaver, and Welcoming Vampire.

Tocasia's Welcome and Plumb the Forbidden are good options here too but I would keep the creature count at around 25.

To help make sure everyone understands what's going on in the question, it's best to give links for the card's involved. For cards already in the Tapped Out database, you can just put double square brackets around the card's name: Welcoming Vampire. For cards not in the database yet, you can provide a link to another place that has them: https://scryfall.com/card/mkm/12/delney-streetwise-lookout

The Vampire's ability will just trigger once and Delney won't be able to make it trigger an additional time. It also won't trigger again later in the same turn if another small creature enters the battlefield. This is due to the following rule:

603.2d An ability may state that a triggered ability triggers additional times. In this case, rather than simply determining that such an ability has triggered, determine how many times it should trigger, then that ability triggers that many times. An effect that states that an ability triggers additional times doesn’t invoke itself repeatedly and doesn’t apply to other effects that affect how many times an ability triggers.

The important part here is "determine how many times it should trigger". Since Welcoming Vampire specifically says it only triggers once per turn, the additional triggers from Delney's ability won't be applied.

neo!Massacre Girl: Any good non-symmetrical burn creatures that can take advantage of this in mono-black? (Stuff like Plague Spitter will wear down your own stuff)

Kylox, Visionary Inventor: Very expensive at 7 MV, but seems fun. Works well with token-making spell cards. (Any good Ball Lightning-type token creators?)

Case of the Ransacked Lab: Finally a mono-blue noncreature Goblin Electromancer at this mana value! It turning into a quasi-Archmage Emeritus later on is just the cherry on the top. I like Cases in general too, being obviously very similar to Classes.

Dog Walker: disguise flavor feels kinda weird here

Delney, Streetwise Lookout: AFAIK e.g. Welcoming Vampire doesn't work with stuff like this. At least Esper Sentinel is still good. Also, neat Spark Double imitation with commanders like Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

IHATENAMES on Angelic Spiritual Soul Sisters

A few things.

1st off. I think a soul sisters deck and angel deck are not compatible. Soul sisters make and want as many lifegain triggers as possible. Maximizing cards like Voice of the Blessed . Angels i believe want to maintain x life above your starting life and gain in chunks of 5 for probably the best angel Resplendent Angel. These seem simular but that creates tough choices in deck design.

Book of Exalted Deeds with creature lands is a combo with Mutavault some decks just can't beat this.

I think you want the card draw off of Shelter but I personally think that card sux. You would likely be better with a green splash for just Collected Company or run a cheaper protection spell like Brave the Elements or a better card draw engine Welcoming Vampire perhaps.

Speaker of the Heavens is a suprise op card i have a angel deck on mtga for historic and it is a great agro card angels needed.

You are light in 1 key piece of any deck. Interaction.

March of Otherworldly Light is a favorite of mine.

Path to Exile could be decent

Dawn Charm niche counterspell/ protect a creature

Surge of Salvation protection vs opposing aggro

I'd suggest looking at another decks sideboard to help build a better one Check out decks like modern d&t or soul sister or angels and see what you want. But be sure to cover a few things.

Graveyard hate like Soul-Guide Lantern Something to fight control many different approachesCavern of Souls Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Artifact/enchantment hate Disenchant

And something for decks that you think you need more help with and expect to face. Perhaps a boardwipe for decks that go wide Doomskar or any other archetype/problem that needs fixing.

Reconnaissance is worth its weight in gold here. It allows you to attack with EVERYONE safely, deal combat damage in most situations, and have every one of those creatures untapped and ready to block/deter attacks by the end of combat. Creatures are considered attacking until the end of combat step ends so you can untap after damage for pseudo vigilance or even after first strike but before normal combat damage.

I would also recommend more card draw. Tocasia's Welcome, Welcoming Vampire, and Plumb the Forbidden are all great.

Scapegoat serves 2 functions here. First, it allows you to pseudo dodge wraths that tuck, exile, -X-X, etc. You'd much rather sac a token and eat a personal Evacuation rather than end up in topdeck mode. Second, it doubles as a finisher if you run Purphoros, God of the Forge.

Feel free to check out my list for more ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Edgar's Dega Vampires
