The Plan:

Resplendent Angel into Shalai, Voice of Plenty or Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice into Lyra Dawnbringer is nigh-unstoppable.

I am just trying to find the right shell to make this work.

Attempt #1: White Knights.

Attempt #2: Boros Flyers.

Attempt #3: Vampires!

Attempt #4: Lifegain.

What is the deck missing? What is the sideboard missing? Love to hear your thoughts!

So, after 3 FNM runs with it, the meta shifted and I discovered an unfortunate fact about Boros Angels.

Golgari absolutely trashes it.

Every card in their deck counters the whole strategy of this deck. It is rough. In maybe 40 games, I have only beat Golgari once. I mean 1 game, not even the whole match. Even against janky homebrew Golgari, they just always have answers for the big angels, and their big explorers are too big for the vampires to get through.

So I am changing the build!

-4 Adanto Vanguard, -3 Bishop's Soldier, -3 Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle, -4 Integrity / Intervention, -1 Response / Resurgence, -1 Shalai, Voice of Plenty

+4 Fountain of Renewal, +3 Dawn of Hope, +2 Settle the Wreckage, +4 Diamond Mare, +4 Ajani's Pridemate, +2Deafening Clarion

Also made numerous tweaks to the sideboard.

The idea is to build a lifegain combo shell with a lot more sweeper removal, then curve the top end out with Angel threats. This gives the deck way more gas when everything gets killed, and even the 2 drops can grow into game-ending threats.

Testing it this week at FNM. I'll let you know!
