The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

Updated and with the help of Mercedes I have dropped the deck down to 60 cards. After playing it a few times the deck runs a lot smoother. I am still taking suggestions for improvement though so feel free to throw ideas out to me.

Deck discussion for Angel Feathers

Watch out, rambling recommendations ahead. If you want this to be Angel-focused, you'll want to drop the highest mana-intensive creature that isn't an angel, to start. Vengeful Archon is mean, but you really shouldn't need him. :)

After that, next to go is some of your artifacts. While it's true that you need a way to speed things up, I think you over-compensated a bit. You don't need any color fixing, so stuff that produces mana of any color you likely won't need. Especially since you said in your forum post that now you keep getting mana producers and no creatures. However, if you can get another Semblance Anvil or two, those would benefit you a lot. For equipment, Infiltration Lens and Sylvok Lifestaff might be better for your early game.

- Darksteel Pendant, Paradise Plume, Prismatic Lens, Quicksilver Amulet (maybe), Darksteel Plate, Whispersilk Cloak (maybe)

I'm not sure about the Gold Myr and Pilgrim's Eyes. On one hand, you need the mana. On the other, they're clogging the deck a bit. I'd run the Eyes and drop the Myr, if I had to choose, because of the deck thinning aspect and the fact that fetching a land is better than having just a vulnerable creature. Plus, the more flying creatures you have to play with Archon of Redemption, the better.

True Conviction and Celestial Mantle seem really expensive one-of's. Your curve is already high because of the angels themselves, so, personally, I'd drop those two.

With all that, you should be able to cut at least 3 land. That's a total of 15 cards off the list, if you cut it all and didn't add anything back in. After that, really, you're going to have to make your own choices. :/ While all of those angels are amazing, they're also expensive, so you might have to narrow it down to just half a dozen you really like and cut the rest.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice! I have been running it like you said with just a few tweaks as to what I prefer. I did get rid of the Archon and found a new place for him. Also cut down on the mana producers and stuck to Piligrims eyes only. It flows smoother now by far. I did keep the True Conviction and Celestial Mantle though, combined with Whisper Silk can change the game for me. Ill update it after the games I play tonight to reflect the changes. Thanks again Mercedes.
