Hmm ... what if I found different art for every angel in the deck?

Thank's for the link!

Never mind, this is fixed.

There, I will use Recumbent Bliss and Disenchant instead of Oblivion Ring and Pacifism.

Hmm ... time to add multiple artworks for the angels!

Man ... That's even better than detain! Into my lifegain angel deck!

Man ... I really like Guardian of Akros ... he's defender to boot!

Now THIS is a deck! I like it!

Keep them at bay with defenders, then nail them with wurms!

Witchbane Orb is a needed sideboard against red burn.

Hmmm .... seems like a neat, funky control deck. Only thing ... you really need a B-W-U tri-land.

I don't like control. It's fun, but annoying. However, this deck lacks punch.

The main problem I see is that you have 4 one drops in the whole deck. And few reliable ways of getting cards into the graveyard. Mill: Hedron Crab, Lasav, Consuming Aberration, Tome Scour or Deathtouch are really needed.

Hmm ... Seriously, no proliferate? That is a shame =).

I would bring blue. Vedalken Aritificer or Engineer would be very useful. Then ... bring proliferate. 2-3 spells. That should speed this deck up nicely. Some counterspells like force spike might be a good fit, too.

I kinda want to give you the honor of making a defender deck ...

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT COMMENT.

Yup..

Alternatively, you could run Aurelia and Sublime Archangel. Heck, maybe even Gisela.

Alright Puschkin, here comes the Optimizer.

You want to have as many freaking creatures with undying as possible. Trust me.

Alternatively, you could use persist with whisperspine.

Then ... bring all the screwy counter advantage you can fit into your deck. Zameck Guildmage, Doubling Season, Thrummingbird

NikkiPhoenixRising, don't you dare run crazy blue. Yet. It's really hard to understand the stack - even experienced players get confused.

That being said ... this deck is amazing.

That ... was zippy!

Anyway, here a breakdown of the defender deck:

Offensive: Angelic and Vent Sentinel.

Defense: Hehehe, really? There's no way this could get MORE expensive. I might add that 3 CMC exalted Defender.

So ... the instants, sorceries, artifacts, and enchantments. Those are what you want to dump mana into.

So let's think ... mana ramp is green, so green defenders are a good choice. Then you can pump into Colossus of Akros, or even Entreat the angels.

Then ... exalted would be nice, if you choose Colossus of Akros. If Entreat the Angels is preferable, Brave the Elements, Fortify, and Entreat the Angels are good. I will go with Colossus, since I have made 4 angels decks and want to liven things up. Also, Entreat the Angels is much cheaper.

Take 3 more Reliquary Towers.

Library of Leng is practically an auto-include here. You need 4 of them.

Hmm ... how bout a fight with a defensive deck?
