Eh, edits for consistency and focus. As much as I didn't want to, I removed Gisela, Blade of Goldnight . As a one-of, I didnt see her much, and whn I did I almost never had the opportunity to actually cast her. I have Sublime Archangel in here to give me a better alternate win con. I considered Hellrider instead, but he would have caused me to attack a little akwardly, where Sublime Archangel would allow me to attack with one large creature, and if it did get removed, I would still have all my other creatures to tap down for Burn at the Stake . Tell me what you think.

Thanks man! I've been having really volatile playtesting with this deck and I'm really hoping the changes will help make it more consistent.

You can probably cut 2x Curse of Bloodletting for 1 more Plains and Vault of the Archangel .

Yep, I was thinking that would be the next thing to go. As appealing as the multipliers are, they are probably just win-more, and unfortunately, you have to be winning to win-more lol. Thanks!

No problem! I like the deck a lot. Keep it up! I would like to see a Green/Red/white version utilizing Parallel Lives .

My god! Why has that idea not crossed my mind already?! Time to update the Naya version of this deck lol.

mind you wil not useful to sideboard comment but you name Sever the Bloodline but the also is Mutilate . also Cower in Fear (not played much but still).

Nevermore is a good suggestion for the sideboard. And you are right, all of those spells would be particularly dangerous to this deck. I'm trying to keep as much variance to the tokens as possible to minimize the impact of Sever the Bloodline game 1. As for Mutilate , there's not much of an answer I can have for that besides siding in Nevermore game 2 if it gets to be a problem. Thanks!

Have you considered Hellrider ? He'd fit in nicely with your deck considering how many tokens you can produce. I wonder about the Goldnight Redeemer while life gain is nice, it's not going to win you the game you know? I'd swap her out for the Hellrider
November 17, 2012 3:03 p.m.
evil_monkey says... #15
It's true she won't win me the game, but she does stall in a horrendous fashion depending on how many tokens I have out. It may be an idea, however, to side it and MB Hellrider . Will do some playtesting and will get back with some findings.
November 17, 2012 3:21 p.m.
I'm going to second the suggestion. There's much better things you can be doing for 6 mana. 1 more gets you up to Gisela, Blade of Goldnight who can stabilize way better than some health and just doubled the power of your board. She also doubles your Burn at the Stake .
Also, you're kind of generating a ton of tokens and then hopping, with no means to dig, for 7 cards in the whole deck. Sublime Archangel or Burn at the Stake I feel like you could be more proactive with your army. Intangible Virtue and/or Rally the Peasants would give you more means of winning.
Actually, wow. Think about Intangible Virtue for a moment. Swing with your army and then Burn at the Stake . That would be devastating in the right board state.

Alright, I added Intangible Virtue (again lol) because it won't do anything but help. I'm not sure what to remove for Hellrider but my initial thought is Midnight Haunting as it may be overkill to have it and Lingering Souls outside of a Favorable Winds deck. Thoughts?

So what do you do against Terminus and Detention Sphere ?
December 11, 2012 11:55 p.m.
evil_monkey says... #19
Nevermore generally helps in those matchups and I run a high variance in tokens to counteract the kind of damage Detention Sohere and sever the bloodline do to my board state.
December 12, 2012 12:22 a.m.
To be honest... i would replace the Sublime Archangel with the Hellrider . Don't get me wrong....she is freaking amazing....but for her power to shine you have to swing with one creature...which can be stopped by anything showing how you have no trample. I get the flying but all they have to do is have a 1/1 flyer or reacher and your stumped for that turn. Hellrider can kill before they even block, and they are the same mana, just red instead of white.

Like the other guys said, I think you should add 4x Hellrider . Take out the Sublime Archangel for it.

Changes have been made, tell me what you guys think!

if you are running 8 black mana sources just for the vault and Lingering Souls you should add Sorin, Lord of Innistrad he looks really nice in this deck and all of his abillities are relevant

Thanks for the suggestion! I have made changes and I am really starting to love the build of the deck. The curve looks great, the average CMC looks good, and the gameplay feels focused and capable. I will be doing some testing when I have time and I will have updates soon. Thanks everyone!
