Maybeboard


A deck utilizing Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Currently a work in progress, the maybeboard are the cards I will acquire.

Main strategy is to ramp hard and cast Avacyn, Angel of Hope as soon as possible. While a turn 3 commander cast is possible (I've done it more than a few times), it is much more likely that she is cast around turn 4/5. When she hits the board early, she is very difficult to deal with.

First equipment should usually be Sword of the Animist, this card simply wins games because it ramps on the attack trigger. After Avacyn, Angel of Hope is cast she needs to be protected. This can be done with Swiftfoot Boots or any of the Swords. Then you set up a draw engine last to ensure you do not run out of gas. Mask of Memory and Loreseeker's Stone are perfect for this.

The token strategy is mainly a defensive one just in case an opponent goes wide to get around Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Indestructible tokens are very scary to some people.

Because of all the ramp, I simply play through counterspells, exile and bounce. And it often frustrates my opponents. Also Avacyn, Angel of Hope acts as a lightning rod for these effects while I build my board. When my opponent has spent all resources trying to stop me I start swinging.

This deck works best as a politics deck. I usually set myself up as the person who will deal with the person at the table who is the biggest threat and get the rest of the table to rally behind me. Once I deal with the threat its a systematic beat down of the rest of the table. That being said, even as the arch enemy this deck thrives.

Win rate is surprisingly around 75% and 2nd place being about 20%. The other 5% is when another deck pulls off and infinite combo on turn 3.

As for power level, this deck is a solid 5-6 and can punch like a 7-8 if played well.

Please take a look at this deck and link to me all of your Avacyn, Angel of Hope decks. Feel free to ask questions, I will be happy to answer. Please give me a +1 upvote if you like what you see.
