peldriver why don't you just flip Archangel Avacyn  Flip to wipe the Tokens?

Declaration in Stone is difficult for Token decks, too.

it would be enough if you're holding it if it is below the deck I think to put a steering wheel in place more Knight of the White Orchid

First of all, love the deck. Secondly, I am curious to hear your opinion on possibly including Selfless Spirit in this deck. Judging by some play testing with it and your description, this deck seems to rely on one big creature getting through. Would adding in an early game flier that can protect your important creatures be useful? It seems that Languish and Grasp of Darkness are still prominent and white has alot of exile, but it would at least help against unfavorable combat, burn, and the rest of black removal.

Also, not to beat-a-dead-horse hear, but I concur with the running Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip over Nissa's Pilgrimage. You said it yourself that you are a deck with "some ramp". Baby Nissa still nets you a forest, but also is a 2/2 with great upside.

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor it's interesting that you spoke about Selfless Spirit as, after my first FNM with this tonight, I was going to add it to protect my Creatures.

There is so much removal in my local meta.

Nissa's Pilgrimage is also coming out, but that spot will be taken by Eerie Interlude.

My plan is now not to Ramp but to help my Creatures stick around. Then I will have a longer chance to get my Angels out.

I'm also going to add Make a Stand and put three more Angels in.

I'll see how that setup goes before making any more tweaks.

Thanks for your input.

It's good that you haven't gotten too down after a bad FNM.

Stay true the idea of this deck.

I've had so many that just need tweaking to reach their full potential.

Thanks for the kind words, Argeaux.

The games this deck won it was absolutely explosive.

Hopefully adjusting numbers of cards will let me see strong ones in my hand more frequently.

StuBi in a removal heavy meta some cards to consider that may be helpful in green

Evolutionary Leap can actually protect creatures from exile effects if you have ways to return them from the 'yard plus it nets you another creature in hand to keep up the pressure.

Den Protector gets you a card back from your graveyard or can provide a nice early beater especially when used with Always Watching or Stitcher's Graft early creatures won't be able to block it.

Seasons Past reloads your entire hand so you can throw everything back at your opponent and if you have a library shuffle effect it won't be stuck at the bottom, i'd recommend Thalia's Lancers to further increase value.

Good luck for your next FNM

Den Protector

Eldritch Evolution

Primal Druid

Evolutionary Leap

Seconding all of these recommendations. Druid into Gisela off evo combo to get Gisela and get a forest in play? Sac a Druid to leap get a forest and a new creature? Seems like a great engine for digging for that Brisela combo.

Man you can even get plains off Druid so it fixes for you. Damn!

Plus leap gives you a sac outlet for your avacyn selfless spirit combo. Jeeeeez

I have already set out a plan for this deck's next outing, so at this stage I'm not looking for more suggestions.

Thanks anyway.

DanLane just so that you realise, you don't need a "sac outlet" for Selfless Spirit.

It is its own sac outlet.

OK, after a LOT of testing I'm going back to my old formula of lots of removal, as well as lots of Creatures that must be dealt with.

Apart from Selfless Spirit, which has tested really well, allows Archangel Avacyn  Flip to flip really easily, provides a good early Creature, and offers a little bit of protection. Liliana, the Last Hope is problematic for it, though.

The deck seems to be testing better.

I'm not making any more changes to this deck until it has played another tournament.

Glad to hear that the deck is working the way you want it to! I piloted my mono white humans deck to 4th place at gameday last Sunday, but I feel it could be better, i.e. it needs more aggression. I decided to add red and drop some of the higher cmc cards out. I would definitely recommend running Repel the Abominable...it has saved my butt a few times and is worth the inclusion. Also, if going up against targeted removal, try Center Soul. Card is cheap, good sideboard tech and is still inin standard for a little while longer.

Thanks for the feedback, paulbmoore1980

I know about Center Soul but I tried a version of this deck with that and other protection spells such as Eerie Interlude, and it just didn't work.

Archangel Avacyn  Flip usually gives me enough protection at key points in the game.

You've sold me on Repel the Abominable. Putting that in now.

August 19, 2016 11:26 a.m.

Yeah, Repel put some work in for me. I had put it in my sideboard and boarded it in during the last round I played against B/G Elves. It was a swarm type deck and in my 2nd game my opponent had about 6 creatures out by turn 4. He swung with everyone and then cast Foul-Tongue Shriek to which I responded with Repel...saving me from taking about 15 damage. I still lost that match, but I would not have been able to put up decent fight without casting it cause I would have been dead.
