"When things become too much for Avacyn and her army, she will destroy the very ground beneath her enemy's feet, denying them of a very important resource."

SomaCruz, the only card I have in here that can tutor for equipment is Stoneforge Mystic , but with Conjurer's Closet I can abuse ETB effects at the end of every one if my end steps. I'll check out your suggestion! Thanks for the update!

VesuvanDoppelbanger, Avacyn is an obsession of mine! Thank you for the upvote!

zapyourtumor, you like?

It's a straightforward deck, something even a nooby player like me could play. It's just that I don't really like Avacyn -- it's an overpowered card, but someone I used to play magic against was also sort of a beginner like me, but spent a significant amount of money on overpowered cards. My friends and I quickly got tired of seeing his Avacyn hit the board (say hello to my Stasis Snare byotch), and we basically pissed ourselves everytime he tapped for 4 mana because of Jace, the Mind Sculptor .

zapyourtumor, Avacyn is over powered, I will admit. But she's pretty hard to cast, especially because as soon as she hits the board, she gets countered. I'm sure the people play with regularly are kind of getting tired of her, but I feel I am in the final stages of refining this deck and I only get to play MAYBE once a week. As soon as I'm happy with this deck, I will start to work on another one, and I have some ideas I'm already doing around with. But yes, it does have a very straightforward strategy.

Try Lyra Dawnbringer . It might fit in your deck.

elan_morin_tedronai, I was actually wanting to put her in my deck when I first started building this deck, but she was pretty expensive back then and I was on a pretty tight budget. I just so happen to have about $200 worth of store credit hitting my account on card kingdom in a few days. I might just have to see about picking up a foil copy. Thanks for reminding me about her!

TCGplayer is consistently at least 15% cheaper though...

zapyourtumor, this is only the second time I've buylisted anything. The first time was with tcgplayer a few weeks after Ultimate Masters came out. So far, card kingdom has the one up on customer service. And they give an extra 30% bonus if you trade your buylist in for store credit. I will say that tcgplayer always has just about every printing/editions you could ever want of any given card.

I am a simple man. I see Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Worldslayer I like the deck. This is everything that a mono-white deck wants to be.

Junk_Heap, thank you good sir! I'm striving to have the #1 Avacyn, Angel of Hope deck on T/O. A lot of time, money, and thought has gone into this deck, and I feel like it's almost at a point where the decklist won't be changed for the foreseeable future.

Swinging with Worldslayer on Avacyn usually makes at least one person scoop. And that's what this deck was built to do.

Avacyn is why I have Stasis Snare and Banishing Light in my deck. :/

Hey, sorry it took me a while to browse through your deck. First things first, I don't know your meta or your budget; my card suggestions are just that, suggestions.

Hour of Revelation - Pretty much a 3 cost complete board wipe, artifacts, enchantments, everything. I'd swap this for Winds of Rath

Command Beacon - Definitely needed since Avacyn will be removed multiple times per game.

I've doubled my mana at times with Gauntlet of Power on the field.

Your build looks like hell to play against otherwise, very solid.

Thanks for those recommendations ZombieCat! I didn't even know those cards existed. Those are all very powerful and I look forward to putting some proxies in my deck and testing them out!

hkhssweiss, now that Iona, Shield of Emeria is banned, do you think you could come up with a few suggestions for a replacement? I'm literally in the middle of building Teysa Karlov , and staying busy with work is also killing me.

SomaCruz, I randomly bought a WotS booster today, and I actually pulled the Newer Karn. I guess that's what's going in!
