Angelic Realm
Posted by admin | Filed under Deck Ideas Direct From The Creation Mill, Events, General Mtg Chat
When I first was presented this idea I was reluncent to agree, Angelic Realm vs Hell’s Dominion. I was told that I would be playing the part of the Angels. Im sure you all can understand my initial hesitation. But i took it on and I built a deck that I’m quite proud off. Here is the deck list:
Land:
4 x Glacial Fortress
3 x Seachrome Coast
4 x Moorland Haunt
8 x Island
8 x Plains
Creatures:
4 x Doomed Traveler
2 x Grand Abolisher
4 x Fiend Hunter
2 x Sunblast Angel
Spells:
4 x Oblivion Ring
4 x Angelic Destiny
4 x Saving Grasp
Planeswalker:
3 x Gideon Jura
SideBoard:
4 x Celestial Purge
4 x Revoke Existence
3 x Mana Leak
I took me a little while but in play testing this deck I have fallen in love with this for several reasons. firstly Im not a huge fan of Angel in gerneral lore or otherwise. I find them to be slighty anoying. But the angels in this deck make it quite fun to play with, cause I know they are always going to help me out in some way. My biggest love is Angelic Destiny. It has to be one of the best ways to bring that end game closer. Angels make for an interesting limiter and it really focused me to figure out what exactly would work.
I came apon my next step in the journey, exile. This was one of the most important factors I could come up with just so that I could get my Angels out, slow him down, or just stop him. And the combos I have for exiling stuff gives me a tremendous amount of options ( last i counted the most possible exile i could possibly do was i believe 24 things XD ). My favorite combo, I have seen so far, has got to be the turn 5 kill with Angelic Destiny and a Geist of Saint Traft. It practically unstoppable.
For a little flavor in my head, I like to think of this as the final battle between heaven and hell, and in my opinion, this deck is going to test the forces of the underworld and regin vicotrious. After building this deck I looked online and saw that it was actually close to the W/U human decks that are floating about in standard. I’m feeling pretty confident that my deck will come out on top or at least give Danny a run for his money. Either way its going to be fun game to play and watch, I hope everyone enjoys.
