Sylvan Caryatid is also a good mana rock blocker but not human :(

Yeah I see that... I like the Hexproof though.

I need a mana dork that produces more mana though, that's why Harabaz Druid is in there, if I have two of them out they both produce two mana. I need this in order to get out big creatures like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Angelic Overseer out quickly and also to deal with Increasing Devotion's franking insane flashback cost.

Ah, Somberwald Sage. I'm a big fan of that card, she actually used to be in here. I ended up having to axe her since I couldn't use her mana to cast and flashback Increasing Devotion.

She is also a much much bigger bolt target.

May 13, 2015 8:06 p.m.

Also true, people loved to just murder her with their Doom Blades and Lightning Bolts and Path to Exiles.

I can't help but think that Gavony Township belongs in here. Also, if you go with the Sanctuary's, Archangel of Thune would be the better 5 drop. Hell, even without it, she is probably the better choice. You could also consider the Jedi Fiendslayer Paladin for a sideboard option against burn and rdw.

I have three Gavony Townships in my Mainboard...

Really? Better than the monstrous Angelic Overseer?

Also, what about Banisher Priest instead of the Oblivion Rings? It does have a better flavor feel and boosts your champion.

May 13, 2015 8:53 p.m.

Oblivion Ring exiles a premenant, Banisher Priest is only for creatures.

Also Fiend Hunter is more flavorful.

Whoops, missed that. But think about it for a second. She is out if Bolt range. Each time she attacks, All of your creatures get bigger including her as well as gaining a decent life differential. For each time a creature enters with your sisters there, your creatures get bigger. Your dorks become threats, and if you did do the sanctuary, and miracle in the angels, that life you gained, gives each creature that many counters as well.

May 13, 2015 8:58 p.m.

You make a good point. I'll consider it. I'm all up for cards that make my Token Army a threat.

Definitely consider the angel of thune. Beware; she's kinda pricey money wise.

Archangel of Thune for the lazy.

May 13, 2015 10:14 p.m.

I can see that... very unfortunate.

Probably another long-term aquistion.

I didn't link it because it has been mentioned in the previous conversation and is in his maybe board.

Scrolling up is for the too lazy (me), so I'm going to put it again one more time:

Archangel of Thune

May 13, 2015 10:15 p.m.

Screw it. I'm going to Mainboard her, the Archangel of Thune is just to sexy to resist.

Angelic Overseer had a good run, I'll miss her.

Nef says... #18

Apparently looking at the maybeboard is for the lazy too xD

...Archangel of Thune... ;)

May 13, 2015 10:21 p.m.

Ah a hahaha :P

Holy Day so I get the sweet, sweet suggest karma.

May 18, 2015 8:36 a.m.

There you go, I'm trying to figure out what to remove.

Champion of Lambholt? Only thing I see wrong with it is double green, but I think that's fine here.

May 28, 2015 2:43 p.m.

I love Champion of Lambholt, I'd like to include say... two of her in this deck but I can't find the space for.

I used to have some but I cut her for Odric, Master Tactician.

I like to hear people's opinions, what would you recommend to cut for her?

May 28, 2015 3:02 p.m.

JDMCRIB says... #24

I might say 1 Odric, Master Tactician and 1 Archangel of Thune. Odric is legendary and his ability isn't always relevant (vs control, or in an empty board), and Archangel is a bit on the expensive side of the curve to be running 3 in a more aggro-oriented deck like this.

May 28, 2015 9:18 p.m.

True, two Archangel of Thunes would probably be better, I thought about cutting one a while ago.

As for Odric, Master Tactician, he's also there as pseudo-removal, I'm afraid if I cut one it would make removing creatures harder.

I'd probably rather have a full playset of Intangible Virtues than a one-off of Odric, Master Tactician... eh I dunno. I suck at making decisions :P
