I would say that Vault of the Archangel is not a good card for this deck as you really don't have a lot of creatures. If you were to add some token generating cards, then it might be worth it.

NinjaBunny01 - Spot on! I've made some small changes in my mana base. You're welcome to check it out. Some of the more expensive choices will be added eventually...some of them are pretty pricey.

I'm thinking about adding Sensei's Divining Top instead of Chalice of Life  Flip . Too much card draw perhaps?

Looking great. Here are my suggestions:

Lands:

-Evolving Wilds

-Caves of Koilos

-Underground River

-Adarkar Wastes

+Dromar's Cavern

+Vivid Creek

+Exotic Orchard

+Azorius Chancery or Orzhov Basilica

You should also try to add Chromatic Lantern to your list of artifacts if you can.

Replace Diabolic Tutor with Beseech the Queen . Add Enchanted Evening and Sphere of Safety if you can (people won't dare activate Nevinyrral's Disk or any other enchantment wipe while Enchanted Evening is down). Greater Auramancy would also work wonders here, especially with Enchanted Evening .

Drop Suture Priest and the soul sisters unless you have more ways of really capitalizing off of their triggers, such as Ajani's Chosen + Enchanted Evening + something to stop the infinite combo. They are great in Modern but don't tend to last long in EDH. It's a shame you can't run Mercy Killing in here because it's awesome to cast on your Ajani's Pridemate or on any large creature your opponent controls while Suture Priest is down. While we're on that topic, Ajani's Pridemate honestly doesn't do much unless you can make him unblockable or otherwise capitalize off his strength, as he is easily chumped by any 1/1 creature.

Chalice of Life  Flip works a lot better in conjunction with Unwinding Clock (as will your Sol Ring and any other artifacts that produce mana.)

As for what to take out, Test of Endurance is effective but ultimately not a very fun win condition. You won't have many people wanting to play a rematch against you if you win with that card. If you're going for straight-up, go-for-the-throat competitive, it's great, though. Same goes for Serra Ascendant and Felidar Sovereign . It all depends on whether you value competitiveness over having people want to play with you ever again, lol.

Again, great looking deck though.

nosoyyucateco - Hey buddy. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't completely agree with you regarding the lands. I really like my painlands :-) and Evolving Wilds is a good way to find that specific landtype you're missing.

I prefer Diabolic Tutor over Beseech the Queen because of the possible restrictions on the later. I'm currently in the market for Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor - I will strike when I find them at the right price. I really like your suggestions regarding enchantments. Awesome combos! I might actually consider buying a couple of the mentioned cards. Thumbs up!

I've considered dropping Suture Priest and The Soul Sisters. I will cut them eventually, when I find some decent replacements. They're just budget friendly and follow the decks' theme. Ajani's Pridemate is in the oversized sideboard - I don't play it.

I've also considered dropping Test of Endurance and Felidar Sovereign when playing in a casual environment. They're simply NOT fun. I do like Serra Ascendant however, and people don't seem to bitch over it...yet.

a card from m15 that is actually quite neat as a decent fireball like spell is Wall of Limbs it grows like ajani's pridemate, but it can activate and drain for a bucket of life in the late game, also it is a decent blocker against early game threats

Hi matrix1312 - That's actually a pretty fun card. Might consider it. Dont know which card to swap with though.

Hey man it looks like fun! My only question is that I don't think your allowed to have an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic both in your creatures and command zone. Other then that it looks super fun! Check out my Hydra Proliferate! some time and let me know what ya think

Haha Darkmagi1131 - you're absolutely right. However, I only own 1 copy. Stupid typo. But yeah it's super fun to play, with tons of possibilities. Oloro is just awesome.

Sure, I'll check it out!
