Introduction
This is my take on modern Monument Soul Sisters. The synergy between the soul sisters, Archangel of Thune, and Oketra's Monument is strong that it is usually game ending when they get resolved unanswered. Pre-sideboard, the plan is to go all out on the aggro plan as fast as I can. If I have Oketra's Monument out by turn 3, I can usually have lethal by turn 5 if I have Archangel of Thune on turn 4 and at least three soul sisters on the battlefield uninterrupted.
Ideal Gameplay
- Turn 1: Plains into Soul Warden.
- Turn 2: Second Plains into Squadron Hawk (getting 3 more from library).
- Turn 3: Third Plains into Oketra's Monument. Attack with Squadron Hawk (damage = 1)
- Turn 4: Fourth Plains into Archangel of Thune which creates a warrior token and gives Squadron Hawk a +1/+1 counter off Soul Warden's lifegain trigger. Attack with Squadron Hawk (damage = 1 + 2 = 3).
- Turn 5: Fifth Plains into 2 Soul Warden (adds 5 +1/+1 counters) and 3 Squadron Hawk (adds 12 +1/+1 counters). This will put 17 +1/+1 counters on the team, giving the non-summoning sickness Squadron Hawk a total of 20 power exactly to deal lethal this turn.
Sideboarding
My sideboard is dedicated to combating this deck's combo weakness as it has a relatively great matchup against aggro/midrange/burn. Disenchant usually gets boarded in for decks that I suspect uses Ensnaring Bridge/Engineered Explosives. Detention Sphere is a good catch all for any other problematic non-land permanents. Leyline of Sanctity protects against discard and storm. Rest in Peace is great against storm too as well as a slew of other decks that uses the graveyard. Stony Silence comes in for affinity in addition to Disenchant and Detention Sphere as a fast affinity deck usually makes it hard for me to get back into the game.
Matchups Show
- Mistveil Plains + Squadron Hawk = Creates chump blockers all day
- Oketra's Monument + Whitemane Lion = Creates as many warrior tokens at instant speed for
- Archangel of Thune + any of the soul sisters = Permanent buffs to the team for each lifegain trigger
-
Archangel of Thune: It combos with an early Oketra's Monument to be able to come down by turn 4.
-
Oketra's Monument: Another token generation to fuel the life gain engine as well as making the more expensive creatures cheaper. Tokens generated also contributes to the Sky Hussar draw engine.
