Sad Changes —June 19, 2017

It is with a heavy heart that I must remove my Sword of Light and Shadowfoil for a regular, non-foily Sword of Kaldra. At least for the moment ;)

I really like Sram's Expertise in my Jor Kadeen deck, the tokens are nice, but the free sword is the best part.

Have you found any of the damage doublers to be worth running? Things like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, Furnace of Rath, Dictate of the Twin Gods, etc. Seems like Avacyn getting to deal more damage on flip would be pretty sweet.

PhotogenicParasympathetic: I used to run several of them. The issue that I found was that they weren't worth the mana cost - I'd often die before I could use them, or they'd take the mana slot of my commander. My favorites are currently Overblaze and Insult / Injury, because they're efficient in terms of mana-to-effect-ratio.

A lot of slower, more midrange Avacyn decks use Gisela, Blade of Goldnight as the top of their curve. It doesn't work here but it's handy in many builds.

I'm curious as to why you aren't running Mistveil Plains to combo with Sunforger.

mmcxii: In a fast aggro deck, I didn't find it worth the cost of coming in tapped. I might adjust that in the future, but I don't have a slot to add Tithe, nor do I have the mana to "recycle" spells effectively. Still, I'll definitely consider it! :)

If you like the deck you're welcome to leave a +1 ;)

Daedalus19876: Sure I went ahead and left you a +1 lol. If you wouldn't mind giving my own Flip Avacyn list a once-over if you've got a minute I'd sure appreciate it. I'm going for a more controlling approach aimed at gaining maximum value out of both sides of her. I feel I may need to find a few spots to make some cuts for a small voltron package to help close games out, as looking at my list I feel while I have a lot of fun things to do I could probably use a clearer and/ or quicker path to victory. Thanks!
