Thank you for checking my deck! Constructive criticism, thoughts, suggestions and +1, are greatly appreciated, especially thoughts on this deck. Thank you!
Chavest lifegain removal deck. I've never done a three color deck before. during the Theros Spoilers I got really excited about making a crazy one. This seems to be what I'm going to stick with, at least until tomorrow night.
I have been updating this deck, after a lot of play testing, this deck has turned into a hate deck by accident. I'm going to play this on Friday and see how it fairs, in the play testing I've been doing its handled itself really well.
Archangel of Thune - she flys, has lifelink, when ever I gain life, i get +1/1 for each instance of lifegain.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa - Again lifelink, mainly for his second ability, giving him flying and a 10/10 if conditions are met ends the game in most cases.
Desecration Demon - he's a 6/6 4 drop. nice. with Elspeth, Sun's Champion's +1 tap, i can sacrafice the 1/1 soldier created making him a 7/7 on next turn, or he can be used to scare the opponent into tapping him for me.
Lifebane Zombie - intimidate. I also get a free peak at opponents hand :).
Soldier of the Pantheon - 1 drop 2/1, with all the multi-color spells running around now I'll gain 1 life for it.
Vizkopa Guildmage - second ability, more so for later int he game after Archangel of Thune and Elspeth, Sun's Champion have been dropped. could be an end game, maybe.
Anger of the Gods - 3 damage to each creature, if it dies, it's exiled.
Dreadbore / Hero's Downfall - for getting rid of a big creature, or planeswalker.
Magma Jet - deal two damage to target creature or player and scry 2.
Lightning Strike - 3 damage to target creature or player.
Thoughtseize - since I'm gaining life, I'm okay with losing 2 life to remove a potential deadly card.
Path of Bravery - has been one of my favorite cards. mainly, second ability - gaining life equal to the number of attacking creatures, again, Elspeth, Sun's Champion.
Whip of Erebos - lifelink for everyone. (as fas as my understanding goes, correct me if I am wrong, this lifelink double stacks on creatures already with lifelink. if not, let me know, I've played it like this at last FNM, no one said anything, I was told yes it does.. TBH doesn't entirely sound right to me, but again no one questioned it.)
Blood Crypt
and Godless Shrine - shocklands, love them, worth it, quick. since added to mana pool I can gain mana quicker of different types.
nykthos, shrin to nyx - this card is under rated, pay 2, choose a color and I add to my mana pool an amount of mana equal to my devotion to it. pay two mana for 5 mana. fair trade off. cast big quick.
Temple of Silence and Temple of Triumph - a scry land. though its a turn late for mana, i get to scry. helps with speed.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion - for building creatures quickly, though 1/1 could be built fast, with the focus on lifegain in the deck it helps. Also, her -3 and -7 are really amazing.
