This is a list I'm working on to play with in my playgroup. You'll notice a lot of exile effect permanents, this is specifically for one of my friends who plays an angel prison deck starring Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and her best friend(at least in his deck) Iona, Shield of Emeria. We normally play pretty slow, casual decks so when he starts getting his big hitters out it's really tough to deal with.

For some reason when I saw Sigarda's Aid printed, it got me to thinking about Iroas, God of Victory, and I wanted to put together a list. This is one of the first instances of my Iroas, God of Voltron deck, this is also my first time using Tapped Out.

So I got to play the previous list in a 6 way FFA. Unfortunately I started out mana screwed but that ended up working out as my buddy with Avacyn, Angel of Hope was drawing a ton of hate with a turn 1 6/6 flier. I ended up drawing into enough mana to do some shenanigans including hitting a Rhys the Redeemed player for 20 commander damage with Iroas, God of Victory *list* equipped Godsend and an active Blood Mist on the field, after a boardwipe. Killed him with a follow-up swing with Iroas, God of Victory *list* the next turn after another board wipe. I was able to play Archetype of Agression and Celestial Crusader out on my next turn for Devotion and Trample to make sure any little tokens he was making wouldn't cut it.

I decided to make a few cuts to better the list in MY playstyle. The Taj-Nar Swordsmith I found to be a little heavy in the hand and I never really wanted to play him whenever he showed up. I cut him for a Kitesail as I found that I wanted another way to give Iroas, God of Victory *list* +1 power and another evasion keyword.

I was gifted some mana rocks and lands so I decided to rip out a Plains for an Opal Palace, yet another way to give Iroas, God of Victory *list* some counters on ETB. I also found that Cathars' Crusade was super heavy in my hand as I'm not looking to play too long or play tons of creatures in one turn. I feel like getting Iroas, God of Victory *list* up to devotion and swinging in with him is more than sufficient to end a game quickly. The things I really want to see in my hand would be creatures/enchantments/artifacts that will give me Devotion but also a buff to his power/toughness or extra Keywords, such as Vigilance. I ended up ripping out Cathars' Crusade for a Boros Signet, which should help with the mana issues I had and the loss of a Plains to an Opal Palace.

Overall, I had a ton of fun playing this list when I had the mana. I felt extremely powerful and even had my Avacyn, Angel of Hope friend on his heels for a few more turns. Unfortunately I misplayed two or three times in a row, forgetting about Avacyn, Angel of Hope being on the board, but Arrested. I ended up losing, but had I thought out the plays better I would have taken him down I think.
