How to center a deck around Maelstrom Archangel?
Deck Help forum

I would like to make a deck that is centered around Maelstrom Archangel .
Can you think about a effective way to use this card?
And I would like to do this without Ravnika duals and still be effective. How could I do this?

i would use the vial also with cards like Thrummingbird and other things that allow you to proliferate to speed it up

maybe a Trinket Mage thrown in to assure your AEther Vial is in hand. so overall i think a U/G deck should work nicely, with mana ramping, control, and proliferation. sorry about the seperate posts, more ideas kept coming after i posted the first one.

Pillar of the Paruns , City of Brass , Ancient Ziggurat , Forbidden Orchard , and Reflecting Pool are all lands that produce any color of mana, with the ladder two being on the expensive side of things. Also, a land like Crystal Quarry combined with mana rocks like Thran Dynamo and the Urza Tron lands can give you exactly the right mana to cast the Archangel. (This is all assuming this is a casual deck)
AEther Vial , as suggested above, is also an option that works quite well.

Ok. These are some good ideas. Thanks a lot. I can't afford AEther Vial right now but the rest seems good. I will post a deck including the ideas mentioned in this thread.
Can you think about some things worth cheating in with her except eldrazis? I already have an eldrazi deck. And I would need somthing to utilize the mana in if I don't get my Maelstrom Archangel .

Maybe not only creatures but some high cmc enchantments/artifacts as well....

AEther Vial just seems bad in a deck like that. Turn six is the soonest you'll get the angel out. By then you could just ramp into her. I think that slot would be better served with something like Birds of Paradise .

make a mostly green deck with mana ramp. Things such as Birds of Paradise , Mana Bloom , Darksteel Ingot , Sphere of the Suns ,....or i think the best way would be to play a control deck, and use AEther Vial to drop the angel onto the field, and from there on drop your other fatties while she is out.
