Recent minor tweak. —Jan. 2, 2016

So after playing around with Filigree Angel since the deck started out life as the original pre-con, I've finally decided that it was too over-costed for the effect it provided (and certainly for the body that comes with the ETB) - there were scenarios where it put in work, but there was always a fairly substantial setup cost even just to gain a decent amount of life, let alone to make that lifegain relevant.

So in light of that, I've decided to swap it out for another artifact flyer that doesn't interact with lifegain, but does do something generally useful: Enigma Sphinxfoil.

Arcum Daggson with Ob Nixilis Unshackled would bring your opponent down and you get a big demon.

@BIGBADBOODOODADDY: While I find that quite amusing in concept, in actual practice trying to use Arcum Dagsson and Ob Nixilis, Unshackled as a killer combo doesn't really work, primarily because target player "may" search their library, they're not actually obligated to (almost every effect that allows opponents to search libraries is optional, there's only a few that don't specify "may").
