Hey, I'm in the process of making a Liesa deck too and don't have any suggestions to add (more using it for myself at this point to just compile card ideas), but I did just want to point out that the Angel of Destiny and Blade of Selves combo won't work to kill the table, if that's your intent by having it in the wincon section. The myriad copies exile at the end of combat, so there won't be a trigger at the end step for them (I'm not even sure if there would be a trigger if they stuck around only because technically they were never actually declared as attackers, but that's a moot point since they exile at end of combat). You'll still gain a metric ton of life off of it though, so it's likely still worth an include, just not as a "finisher".

Thank you for the compliment. Glad you like the deck.
Plenty of sound advice and suggestions. I've made multiple changes based off of it.

Solid suggestion. Thank you. Gone ahead with adding it.
November 18, 2020 5:21 a.m.
Good catch. Thank you. Got all caught up in the excitement of those two cards I didn't fully do what I should have done, "Reading the Card, Explains the Card".

Sure! Happens to the best of us. Like I said though, you're still gaining a ton of life off of it (I think if your angels are unblocked and the only attackers on the field then you'll get like 36 life in one swing which is pretty decent), so it may still be worth including since the non-token one can almost definitely kill someone at that point.

KibaAlpha Course! really good deck. Had a lot of fun with it with friends :)
Also, you might wanna write a short primer that breaks down the deck in detail. Would be a cool read and could help players when they play this list. Cheers

Was gonna suggest Ob Nixilis, Unshackled but then I saw you already had him in here. Great minds think alike, I guess.

Wow Aurification is a really sweet card I've never heard of before. Like a more budget-friendly, colorshifted No Mercy. Nice.

I love the deck and I am a huge fan of control/stax and life gain. Super great build!

I've put together a quick little Primer. Thank you for suggesting I do one. Take a read let me know your thoughts if you dont mind. FYI I'm doing this at 3am so I know it requires some additions and touching up.

I've ended up removing Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. A good card but not enough value as I don't have ways to force my opponents to search.
Aurification is great against creatures that are indestructible and so much cheaper than No Mercy for anyone on a budget.

Thank you. Glad to see you really like the deck. Means a lot.

Thank you all for Upvoting this deck. Appreciate it.

Thanks. Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Not usually one to do Primers. Probably going to clean it up and add more detail.
You're welcome and thank you again for everything.

@KidAlpha
No problem! primer is really good for sure.
I would appreciate if you could check out and drop some thoughts on this list I made:

Feel free to delete this comment if you think it's scummy self-promo, and only check it out of you want to. Once again, nice deck

solid work, similar to my DLC deck (as in, nickle & dimes to death). 3 recomendations: Erebos, God of the Dead, Bloodchief Ascension and Oath of Kaya

PRIMER has been updated and improved. More PRIMER to come.

if you are removing all the "if you have such and such life total" wincons like some of the comments suggested you do because they are boring, shouldn't you take out Angel of Destiny too? Or do you feel it's enough of a challenge to connect with the angel to kill people off?

Hey! Great deck you got there. Really good synergy and I liked the control build. I would add hate cards like Aven Mindcensor, Vryn Wingmare, and some more pillow fort cards like Sphere of Safety and Norn's Annex. Just for the sake of being wholesome, I would cut Felidar Sovereign, it's really not a fun card and you already have interactive and fun wincons in the deck. Lot of enchantments in the deck, so Idyllic Tutor and Mesa Enchantress. Monarch can't be bad here with how taxing attacking you should be once you get set up, so Thorn of the Black Rose and other monarch cards seem pretty good here.
As for cuttables, Megrim seems like it won't be relevant very often, you don't have a good discard package. Angelic Accord won't be doing much for you, as a 4/4 every couple turn isn't exactly efficient. Night's Whisper and Thought Distortion are all good, but there are better cards that can net you more value. I would also cut a basic or two as you already have a solid amount of rocks. Cheers
