Polishing Up —Jan. 19, 2017
Card Draw is too low and Ramp is too high so maybe a little tweaking here and there:
Gaea's Blessing into Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
Primal Command into Righteous Aura
Growing Ranks into Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage
Gavony Township into Plains
Burnished Hart into Idyllic Tutor
Explosive Vegetation into Sylvan Library
Aside from balancing out ramp and card draw I've found about this amazing card while watching the Command Zone in Youtube about Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim deck tech.
Since shes another life gain commander some of her tech could be useful with my deck, and I've found out about one of the best lifegain defense cards out there: Righteous Aura
This card defends against Voltron and Infect, two of my decks weakness. I was seriously considering adding Melira, Sylvok Outcast to defend against infect but I have no way of tutoring her when I need her. So Righteous Aura was a Godsend and it fits my semi-enchantment theme.
For mill, I was using Gaea's Blessing and Primal Command as defense but since its not that common to find mill in my meta they're mostly dead draws. So finding the old Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre as mill defense was perfect.
Yeah, I've tried Archangel of Thune on my previews versions of this deck.
For one, Archangel of Thune's surprise value is very low, and a lot of people will see her coming and recognize her as a threat. What I'm trying to say is that I plan on putting out major threats all in one go, and I can't get that from Archangel of Thune.
Lastly when I was playing her, I had this weird obsessive compulsive nagging feeling that all my 4/4 angels are now 5/5 and the new ones that are gonna come in are just gonna be 4/4. Its weird but that annoys the heck out of me.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Archangel of Thune, but her ability no longer fits this deck.
