Angel Deck

Zakerius

As in 20 plains, 20 spells, 18 Angels and 2 suntail hawks just to have more then one cheat creature as my cheapest angel is Haunted Angel at 3 converted mana.

I love the deck, but i'd love to know what some pro's think.:D

in all honesty you'd probably get slaughtered by someone with a well built currently competitive type2 deck, but the deck should be fine for casual play. But i could very well be wrong as i don't know what cards you're using and seeing as you're using non standard cards (cards from before onslaught) you could actually have a very good deck there Post a full decklist if you want a proper assessment

just played with the deck a bit there and basically, it's much too slow. Unless you draw a suntail hawk or your one haunted angel there's basically nothing you can do for the first four turns, which gives your opponent plenty of time to kill you. You need some cheaper blockers in there to keep your opponent busy while you build up enough mana to play your big angels.

Usualy (this is against goodish to moderate players so far) i manage to survive at maybe like 18 or like 15 health (usualy thanks to spells)
Im hesitant to put in anything but angels. Every Angel card I have is in there. If ya look at angels like Glimering Angel(2/2, flying, blue mana:G.A. cant be target of spells or abilities this turn, cost of 4 converted mana) you'll see that there are some pointless crap Angels in there.

Its more a for show deck, but i will tare down my 5 other white decks to fix it soon, if i will be playing people with the smarts

sionnach

i'd like to see you survive till round 5 with 15 health against my ravager deck

hmm, i see that deck having speed problems also, youd want a goodly lot of creatures with converted mana cost three or less. also, id htink personally that 20 land mightnt be enough to support such a heavy deck, and would suggest increasing the land up to 24 minimum, which is the usual amount for a T1 deck with big creatures

Ivan

You really should consider adding some blue, even if its only a splash.

Iridescent Angel is a great card. Guiding spirit is worth putting in and you could add some counterspells or card draw. Riptide replicater is another playable card as is Coat of arms.

But why the angel theme? There isnt really a whole lot out there to take advantage of it.

Maybe he just likes angels? Hell i started on goblins because I thought they were funneh...

MatthewVII

methinks that angels cant cut the mustard, the only REALLY good angels are Exalted Angel and Pristine Angel and maybe Serra Angel, but since theyre in T2 anyway, and since a T2 deck that uses white control (wraths of god, eternal dragons) are the dominant white decks, these angels wont see play in a deck of their own

Ivan

Actually he brings up an interesting question.

Since you cant really play anything untill 4 mana why not add some things that will help you stay alive untill then.

A) Where are the Sword to plowshares.
Balance would fit in quite nicely too.
C) Wrath of god is a must have.
D) Any life gain card would fit quite nicely but I especially like Pulse of the Fields.

Funky

splooooooooooge

Yeah the deck is a tad too slow, even for casual which is a few turns slower (depending on group) I'd suggest adding exalted angels (can come out on turn 3 and attack on turn 4), wing shards(in keeping with the angel theme) and maybe replace the sacred nectars with renewed faith
Looks like a fun casual deck and certaibly more popular than my much maligned clock of omens/static orb/tanglewire deck which was been causing furrowed brows since 5th Dawn was released

Sorry it took me an age to reply ive been dead, heh

I do LOVE angels, just because I love that I can survive long enough to play an Archangel with something like heros resolve and just kill the enemy really. But saying this I dont play the best of players. Id be 2nd best in our group, an elf deck and a standard blue deck being the bane of my existance, wash out is one of the biggest pains in the ass EVER.
I have a great combo for wrath of god but you's probably already know, Dominaria's Judgement and Wrath Of God, I only ever play one when I have the land to play them both and of course have 'em both.
I have other decks I love other then my Angels, but they are my favorite by far.
