Angel control

[Griffith_se]

A while back someone suggested an Angel control deck. Here is the core of My idea. Use Blinding Angel, Moment of Silence, and Pacifism to deny your opponent attack's. Angel's Trumpet to do 1 damage for each creature that doesn't attack.

4 Blinding Angel
4 Moment of Silence
4 Pacifism
4 Angel's Trumpet

Other Angel's. Voice of... Angel's, and probably Radiant, Archangel's.

Belbes Portal, or Urza's Incubator, or both for getting Your Angels in play.

I assume I'm going to need protection from direct damage- Ivory Mask?

Do you see what I have in mind? Any idea's?

I would use incubator to drop the cost of some off em! Also, I would use radiant as a kill card.

Too bad Serra isnt in 6th...

 

[Seeker of Truth]

FoundationOfRancor:

Of course, Serra Avatar is an Angel...

Griffith_se:

Maybe Angelic Chorus would help? It's additional defense as you bring in more Angels, and it's in theme. Enlightened Tutor may also be useful, in order to get either Urza's Incubator or Angel's Trumpet into play to get your combo going.

 

[Griffith_se]

I don't think Serra Avatar is an Angel, is it?

 

[Spiderman]

Technically, no, it's of creature type Avatar. But if you were building off of Serra's name...

Speaking of which, is this a Standard deck? Otherwise you can maybe continue building off of Serra's name by using Serra's Aviary and Serra's Bestiary...

 

[Griffith_se]

Well... I planed on it being standard, but it doesn't have to be. I just build everything standard because it's easier for me. I only started playing when Urza's came out, thus I have mostly card's that would be standard format. I could use Glorious Anthem for Serra Aviary, and Arrest for Serra Beastiary.

So, Now you all know what a newbie I am.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

List of possible cards so far-
4 Blinding Angel
4 Moment of Silence
4 Pacifism
4 Angel's Trumpet

Voice of Law
Voice of Grace
Either sideboard the other Voice's or a mix.

Urza's Incubator
Glorious Anthem
Arrest
Enlightened Tutor

Maybe Crackdown as backup in-case my Blinding A./A. Trumpet doesn't go off.

Radiant, Archangel for beats.
Kismet maybe, for a soft lock time buyer.
Ivory Mask For Direct damage.

Wha-da-ya think?

I was the one that originally speculated about an Angel Deck.
Here's "Angel Control"

Creatures (18)

1 Radiant, Archangel
4 Avenging Angel
4 Seraph
2 Serra Angel
2 Voice of Grace
2 Voice of Law
2 Blinding Angel
1 Diplomatic Escort

Spells (24)

4 Flikering Ward
4 Urza's Incubator
4 Enlightened Tutor
2 Ivory Mask
2 Angelic Trumpet
4 Counterspells
4 Intervene

Land
12 Plain
6 Island

What do ya think?

 

[Cateran Overlord]

No, Serra's not in 6th, instead they have archangel. Don't forget the other voices:
Reason (UD)
Duty (UD)
Truth (NE)

I would go with the Incubator, it lets you get multiple cheap angels per turn. Consider Wrath/Catastrophe as all of your creatures have a high cc anyway. I don't think there are any other T2 angels right now, but in T1 and Ext you can find dozens of them.

 

[Griffith_se]

Sorry I couldn't Remeber Who it was that originally posted that.
Have you played that deck? how did it do? What deck type's gave you the most trouble?

Here's what I'm thinking of trying. It's a little different from Multani's, but not a whole lot.

Creature's 12
4 Blinding Angel
2 Radiant, Archangel
3 Voice of Grace
3 Voice of Law

Spell's 15
4 Moment of Silence
3 Pacifism
2 Arrest
3 Story Circle
3 Enlightened Tutor

Artifact's 11
4 Angel's Trumpet
4 Urza's Incubator
3 Jade Monolith

Land's 22
4 Remote Farm
4 Crystal Vien
2 Kor Haven
12 Plains

Sideboard will have the other Voices.

I think the Jade Monolith/Story Circle thing works, let me know if I'm wrong. Anyway this is My first draft.

Actually I don't even have all the cards to
make that deck.
Like I said, I was simply speculating.
Who knows, I might actually buy/build that deck.
