Fun fact: As of when I made this deck, Radiant, Serra Archangel has no decks on edhrec with her and Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist as the commanders.

Throw some equipments on Radiant, make flyers to protect her (Thopters, Birds, Angels, Insects, etc.), and hit face!

I wanted to build this deck (or at least run Radiant), so I thought about what I could do. Thopter voltron was my first idea I thought I could make work. That later turned into ALL THE FLYING THINGS! As time progressed, the deck became more focused on being able to answer threats, protect Radiant, and hate on things, just in case things start happening that we don't like. Ludevic is in so I can run Izzet. Ironically, the very thing I made her the Patron Angel of in the title is her biggest fear. Enjoy!

Any and all help is wanted! Feel free to copy and modify the deck as you see fit!

We're building this in paper, or at least, a version of it. I may update this as new sets come out.

Notes: Side board is for cards that I still need to unproxy and other cards I might add (using art that I like. If I get these cards, I'm probably going to get the cheapest version the store has). Maybe board is a list of cards that I really wanted to keep, but just could not for one reason or another. | Find a background image to use. The default background that tappedout uses is nice, but this is turning into MY deck, among my playgroup. The deck that people think of when they think of me. It deserves the background image treatment, here on tappedout. | Hushbringer can be swapped out for Strict Proctor. | Scrapping Swiftfoot Boots may have been a mistake, but she has pseudo-hexproof built in. | I think Curse of Verbosity is funny, but I don't know how good it is for this deck. |
