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 discussion for Angels are my life

I really like Sunblast Angel, love the art and flavor on that card. But I always have a hard time playing it. A bit manaheavy but maybe you could add Aegis Angel?

I like the idea you have with this deck, but there's a problem I forsee: Land.

You have 12 1CMC cards to play, but out of those 4 are spells, and the other 8 can be quickly overrun by a serious black or red aggro deck. You have to REALLY work to get stuff out quick, and with plenty of 'oomph' to spare. I'd suggest lowering the amount of Baneslayers from 4 to 2, because you don't need 4 and there's other critters that can assist you. Lightkeeper of Emeria is a very helpful midrange Angel, for attack as well as defense. Sunblast Angel is great, but it only takes out tapped creatures. Since you don't have any tapping mechanisms to maximize the effect, you'd have to get away with letting them attack en masse to deal any lasting damage. Instead, I'd switch one out for a Linvala, Keeper of Silence (though she's damn expensive in the monetary sense), or even some Shepherds of the Lost.

I have a bone to pick with your choice of spells as well. Timely Reinforcements is a great spell, don't get me wrong, but in here? Why no Safe Passage (for you, primarily), Dispatch would be effective as well, if you added more artifacts, granted.

Overall, I like where the deck idea is headed, and it should keep going that way. It just needs a little tweaking.

Yes land has been a problem in some of the games, but I somewhat fixed it with the addition of the artifact creature.
Safe passage is a good theme card, but timely is the purpose for those aggro red and black decks. I gain 6 and if they take my small guys out, then I have three more soldiers putting out for everyone.
Your idea of adding midranged angels is a good idea, but a number of your suggestions may not still be standard ^-^", but I will look into adding angels that make the mana curve better
Thanks for the comments :D

in your deck brave the elements is rotating out so is bane slayer, and M12 technically isn't legal and as soon as it is zendikar, worldwake, M11 and rise of the eldrazi are also falling out.

Very nice deck ! haha I think maybe you could try sunblast angels with 1x or even 2x quicksilver amulets, you can quick silver something in on thier turn before combat damage and destroy their attacking creatures no? Im not to fimiliar with the rules during the combat phase. but just an idea.
