Stall with Fog Bank, Angelic Wall, Supreme Verdict and Terminus til you draw Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, Vraska the Unseen, or Entreat the Angels. If you're still alive, you win.

Originally, my only sources of black, red, and green were Chromatic Lantern and Vessel of Endless Rest, but I added Sunpetal Grove and Drowned Catacomb just in case. Suggestions are appreciated in regards to land distribution, as I'm still in the process of tweaking it.

Faith's Shield is amazing, since it affects permanents, not just creatures. It can save a Chromatic Lantern's life, as well as wasting the opponent's time and resources when they try to target or swing on my planeswalkers.

At first glance it may seem a bit lacking in win conditions, with Entreat the Angels, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, and Vraska the Unseen only at 2 each in the deck, but after a lot of testing, it actually works out quite well. Drawing too many of these high-cost high-impact cards early could kill the flow of the deck, and there is plenty of draw, acceleration, and stalling to get to your win conditions and end the game. As for what cards to use as win conditions, I'm open to suggestions. I really enjoy casting Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, but if his -9 goes off, my deck lacks the offensive capability (unless I've got angels out) to follow up, which usually ends with me destroying my own permanents for +3 to continually -9 the opponent to death, which is still a win, but there could be better ways to go about it. Vraska the Unseen works very well. I usually clear the board with Terminus or Supreme Verdict right before dropping her assassins onto the field, making them tricky to deal with.

The sideboard is pretty tentative, I'd love suggestions there, too.

I appreciate all feedback.
