Liesa sees through the lies of Avacyn! Angels and Demons can work together! The Shroud of Dusk brings angels and demons together to the battlefield, with some support from the clerics that worship them.

Synergies are found mostly in angels and life gain/drain. The demons leverage that extra life to draw cards, punish your opponents, and win victory for Liesa.

This is a fairly casual flavor-focused deck, but it can hang around and do a lot of fun things with just one or two big creatures resolved. There are no tutors for the purpose of keeping it casual. The overall strategy is to ramp early, control the board with removal and wraths, and then unleash your united holy and unholy host.

The first infinite combo in the deck is Exquisite Blood + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose which is a classic combo that I hope is self-explanatory.

The other infinite combo involves Bishop of Wings + Divine Visitation and Ashnod's Altar When an Angel sacrificed, Bishop triggers to create a spirit, but with Visitation on the field, it creates an Angel instead, allowing for infinite sacrifice. This grants you both infinite mana and infinite life gain from Bishop's other ability, with payoff cards like Exsanguinate using the mana, Vito using the life to drain, and Rampage of the Valkyries for an infinite edict effect.

Aside from those combos, the other win conditions are a massive Angelic Army from Starnheim Unleashed or burying your opponents in card advantage courtesy of Vilis, Broker of Blood .

Please suggest any angels, demons, or clerics you think would be good additions!
