Exalted

by jferman on 28 April 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (19 cards)


Sorceries (2)


Artifacts (1)


Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

the main (best/likely) combo is stoic angel with rafiq of the many and/or finest hour/angelic benediction. getting even just stoic angel with one of those two cards has a good chance of winning you the game though.

if for some reason you don't get a stoic angel (with four in the deck you should technically get at least one a game) either aven squire, or whispersilk cloak attached to one of the other creatures can pick up the slack.

asceticism keeps your creatures safe although it is more of a sideboard card.

finest hour can be substituted for angelic benediction based on preference
giltspire avenger can be substituted for rafiq of the many based on preference (and vice versa, although there should always be at least 2 of rafiq in the deck at a time just to make sure you have a good chance of getting one. and giltspire avenger is a really nice defensive card that also helps you on offense with exalted)
one stoic angel can be substituted for jenara, asura of war if it is preferred

qasali pridemage is very useful in taking out any annoyances in the form of artifacts or enchantments (it can even be used to destroy artifact creatures).

best case scenario:
turn 1: Noble Hierarch
turn 2: Giltspire Avenger, Qasali Pridemage, Ethercaste Knight, or Aven Squire
turn 3: Rafiq of the Many
turn 4: Finest Hour. Attack with Rafiq for 34 total damage
turn 5: something with exalted, attack with Rafiq for 42 total damage

average game (this happens about half to 2/3 of the time):
turn 1: Birds of Paradise
turn 2: something with exalted
turn 3: Stoic Angel
turn 4: Rafiq of the Many, attack with Stoic Angel for 10 total damage
turn 5: Finest Hour (attack with Stoic Angel for 30 total damage), or something else with exalted (attack with Stoic Angel for 12 total damage)...either way you opponent is toast at this point.

Deck discussion for Exalted

I dont really play unstandard decks but i'll throw my 2 cents in anyway. More split lands will make it easier for you to pay for all of these multi-colored creatures (glacial fortress and sunpetal grove). I would also replace the llanowar elves with Birds of Paradise. The fact that they create a mana of any color will help you out a lot, and they're still a 1 mana drop which is great. I would also drop the Asceticism and run 4 mana leaks, then bring the Into the Roil's down to 2. But thats just because I love mana leaks. I hope i helped

Also I notice that you're running 65 cards mainboard. I personally try to never go over 60. this ensures that you'll see all the cards you need more often. Since you're running the 4 birds AND the fertile grounds, I think 25 mana is a little unnecessary. You can cut it back to 22 lands and you should still be good. You dont want your hand to get cluttered with lands when you need answers

you should try putting spheres of the sun into your deck for mana. and if you use something with proliferate along side it like contagion clasp or steady progress, then it's pretty much drawing limitless mana. i use this strategy in my decks

I agree that the sphere of the suns would help, but the clasp doesnt seem to fit into this deck since the only thing it could target would be the sphere. However if you do want to add the clasp, i think it would be fun to stick an Ajani Goldmane in here since you can proliferate the counters that he gives other creatures. But again this isnt necessary for the deck. Its just a fun trick to do

Something else that you may want to look at is Noble Hierarch. It's a wonderful mana fixer for decks like this, and, get this, it comes with Exalted as well.
