Avacyn's Cathouse (help a girl out, please!)
Deck Help forum
Posted on June 7, 2012, 6:49 p.m. by Dollface
This is my second standard deck I want to play in local matches. Everyone was SO helpful last time when I posted Vampiric Proliferation! Thank you! I would appreciate ANY feedback, ideas for improvement, and constructive criticism.
Concept:This is Avacy's Cathouse! The Madame over her beautiful "angels" (Herald of War , Goldnight Redeemer , Angelic Overseer ) and virile male escorts (Riders of Gavony , Silverblade Paladin , Goldnight Commander , Timberland Guide , and that beastly Mayor of Avabruck Flip , Avacyn, Angel of Hope is one bad-ass lady if you mess with her "hoes!"
Mechanics:I used green to ramp up my mana and add counters to creatures, specifically Herald of War and Champion of Lambholt because the former helps me get out humans and angels cheaper and the latter because she prevents creatures with power less than hers from blocking ALL my creatures.
Specific Questions:How can this deck effectively deal with Sudden Disappearance , which is bad enough when I lose counters, but then it's followed by activating Sundial of the Infinite , which exiles my cards permanently?! Should I replace Cursebreak with Natural End ?
I've never built a sideboard before. Are there guidelines to follow as to building the best sideboard, or is it solely based in deck?
How many of each miracle cost card should I play with so I have a better chance of drawing it, but they don't clog up my hand with cards I can't afford until turn five?
THANK YOU FOR ANY FEEDBACK! :)

"impossible to beat."
Nonsense. There is no such thing. Even Caw-Blade is beatable. Especially Delver.

I tooled the deck based on feedback so far. I have to order some cards. Lots of people tell me to get rid of angels, but I want it to work with the human-angel synergy around Herald of War . I HAVE gotten Avacyn, Angel of Hope out by turn 6 or 7 as long as I'm fast enough to beat that Sudden Disappearance + Sundial of the Infinite combo.
I need help understanding meta and local meta, which everyone says to know before I play a standard tourney. Also, my friends said that most people will bring copies of tournament winning decks that are impossible to beat. I think you should be required to make an original deck, else the odds are unfair and no fun!
I get out enough mana to play Natural End over Naturalize , so wouldn't that be a better spell since I also gain 3 life?
Thanks for ongoing help and constructive criticism, ideas, and feedback! You rock!
