Deck Description

Just got interested in Commander, so naturally all the pre-set decks from Wizards are sold out in my area (and high $$ online).

So, I'm starting from scratch with a decent pool of cards from Core 2012 forward and I'm looking for advice.

Advice on what cards to get is appreciated, but I am also looking for tips on deck-building in EDH in general (size/quantity of creatures, removal, etc.).

Commander is Gisela, and I tried to have all my creatures and spells be as multi-purpose as possible.

Lastly, I'm trying to get an idea of just how hard I'll be owned at a local gaming shop running this deck, and whether it's possible to be at all competitive on a budget (a lot of the EDH decks I've seen on here are $500-800, not an option for me).

I am considering getting a few more cards like Kaalia and Basandra, Battle Seraph, or possibly getting ahold of a Political Puppets deck and splicing in some of the red/white/colorless cards from that set.

Anyway, any feedback will be much appreciated!

Deck discussion for 1st EDH - Angel/Humans

i find that commander decks dont have to be extremely expensive to be good competitively and most of the really expensive ones you see are ramped up from out of print land that sells for around 100 bucks a piece ive seen an edh deck valued that was at 1800 dollars and it was practically the same as my dragon edh except for the land. the main thing about edh though is to focus on a scheme of some sort that revolves around your commander. with gisela id honestly think about doing a little more with instant/ sorceries considering she doubles your damage output you could finish someone off with a couple of strong instants. you might wanna think about looking back at other sets on a site where you can order cards and see what else would work nicely. also for an angel EDH kind of deck you might wanna take a look at the heavenly inferno commander deck. it has some really nice stuff in it and the three commanders it comes with are amazing i love kalya of the vast

I'd love to get Heavenly Inferno, unfortunately every place I've looked at is out of stock.

I gravitate towards creatures but you're right, burn spells would work as well.

Thanks for the reply!
