Sunblast Angel doesn't work with Brago unless you're running mass vigilance.

Holy hell, I dont know how I missed that XDHow about Palinchron instead?

Though, what if I bounce everything with when Brago hits and have Sunblast angel come down before anything else?

In fact, thinking about it, youll have to explain to me how that doesnt work, because the stuff I wouldnt bounve will untap on my upkeep before Brago hits, I can bounce brago himself, and nothing that gets bounced enters tapped.

Everything comes down at the same time and you stack the triggers how you want afterward. However, everything will be untapped and survive, BUT all equipments fall off Brago, if Brago has shroud he can't be bounced, and since all the permanents come in at the same time if you bounce all your creatures then any auras you bounce as well will be left in exile because they need a permanent in play they can attach to as they come in to play (Not entirely sure about that one, might warrent some further rule digging, but I'm of the opinion that auras are a bit weak when paired with Brago anyway, except maybe Gift of Immortality .).

Holy fuck run-on sentences.

Also I'm giving you a +1 simply for the name change. Now somebody needs to make a sea monster deck and call it Undertow.

Ok, I can see where you might be of that opinion, then. However, I think with the alternative ways to get the angel bouncing, gale powder mage, venser, dead-eye, etc., and having the option there should I need it more than having brago alive for a turn is reason enough to at least merir inclusion in initial testing. And of course if it fails my expectations from there on, I always have Palinchron to turn back to.

Thank you for the plus 1, I figured it might get some attention XD

Once I have the time to sit and work on the description I'll have to add even more of the vigor's flavor to it.

Hmmm....coming in after attacks does hurt it, though.

I'll just have to test it out and see where it goes.

Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant seems a bit underpowered for this deck. I'd go a little bit more aggressive and use maybe Rishadan Footpad and Rishadan Brigand .

Adding some more rocks like Gilded Lotus and Thran Dynamo might do you a lot of good especially if you have Future Sight .

Also, no Lavinia of the Tenth and Spine of Ish Sah ?

Here's my Brago deck Brago Shows Some Nasty!. Its built for multiplayer games but I think you might find some interesting cards in it that you can use.

It doesn't work that well with Brago, but Weathered Wayfarer is a great mana fixer in white and has horse... looking... thing, for flavor.

Yeah, I'm playing with the sisters and I think I've got their replacements lined up already, most likely Fiend Hunter and Lavinia of the Tenth .

I own a Future Sight , but I like it more in lower CMC decks like Melek, Izzet Paragon .

For mana rocks, I'll likely swap out Basalt Monolith with Sol Ring , but outside of that the acceleration I tend to get going doesn't leave me feeling at a loss for resources. If that changes with the deck, I've got a Gilded Lotus laying around that I can put in. I suppose Weathered Wayfarer sits in this boat now as well, for the moment.

I won't deny that Spine of Ish Sah is good, but I feel like experimenting will afford me something I enjoy more that it for that CMC range. If not, of course, I can always replace Scourge of Fleets later

A couple more mana rocks might be good. Since you can untap them with Brago, they can allow you to play things, ETB triggers, hit with Brago, ETB triggers, play more things, ETB triggers. It's a good time and helps when your Stax are out.

Also a couple more ETB creatures could work out well.

Karmic Guide lets you reuse old creatures. Of course, you get those creature's ETB effects as well.

Riftwing Cloudskate is pretty great since you can bounce lands as well as their problem permanents.

Sakashima the Impostor lets you copy creatures and get ETB triggers, plus she can be a second Brago if needed. Double ETB triggers means double fun.

Sphinx of Uthuun is expensive, but a free Fact or Fiction every turn is always nice.

Out of curiousity, what would you cut for each and why?

Well, there aren't specific cards I would cut for each. However, I do have some cards that aren't entirely on theme.

Empress Galina is really hated and will normally eat removal before you get anything out of her.

Phyrexian Revoker just doesn't do a lot. Also it would likely be better to simply use Pithing Needle so it can't be killed as easily.

Leyline of Anticipation is something you will never want to cast for 4 mana, not super relevant.

Redirect isn't super useful normally. I wouldn't bother with it.

Elspeth Tirel makes 1/1s, and that's it. If you really want tokens, try running Blade Splicer, Wing Splicer, and Master Splicer instead.

Has Strionic Resonator been brought up? It at a minimum copies the flicker effect of Brago. However with mana rocks making 2 mana you have a infinite loop of etbs.

Mistmeadow Witch is a good blink option.

Some land suggestions. Adarkar Wastes, Command Tower

You can use off color fetches to make sure you get the shock out.

Talisman of Progress, Azorius Signet

Capsize is also a great option for here. With infinite mana it returns all permanents including lands. It is also a good eot bounce.

I recommend Altar of the Brood. Very worthwhile and is a GG with the infinite combo. Jace's Mindseeker is also really good. Cloudform, its counterpart Lightform, and Act of Authority are all super broken with Brago. I run him as my main deck, but more geared towards making him really broken like with Oblivion Ring and its clones permanent exile combo. +1 from me. (: Check mine out? :O
