Against Mono-Black: Counters, Hexproof with Simic Charm(it's like you've countered a removal spell), setting back creatures with Kiora while sacrificing my own creatures for the Demon is nessesary... ...Overwhelming the opponent with Bounty, or score the win by Tromokratis, or AEtherling...Against aggro: Caryatid & Courser are great blockers + Kiora +sideboarding Jace & Essence Scatter...

...only to player...
Yup... ...I usually get more value out if it... ...I've tested the deck with Smiter before & it wasn't as good as the Healer... ...in some decks, Smiter is better off as a sideboard against Rakdos's Return, but here, I just have better sideboards.......
The difference is, when I have Archangel on board in late game & I draw a Centaur Healer, it can win me the match... ...it triggeres the Archangel immediately, so I don't have to wait a turn for that & it's crusial in many situations... ...also, the Healer becomes 4/4 when it enters, just like Smiter if I play it with Archangel already on board... ...tough in early game, Smiter is more relyable...
Not exactly... ...I've playtested this deck & it's not how it is... ...the Phoneix comes back again & again, Connections is there as well... ...2 out of 3 times when I draw him, I can attack/block with him in the game.......
You really put effort into helping others with ideas!.. Thanks! :)My 4 drops come down easily, however, when struck by Thoughtseize at the beggining + an early removal, it can be difficult to come back in before Mono-Black kicks my ass, but usually, it happened...If Mono-Blue "Hybranize" my mana dorks early, that 3/3 RockLubster token is enough to defend until I get my stuff out there...Besides, Courser & Fanatic are both great defenders, at least until I get rolling, even if they die, tough Courser usually won't die of blocking, except against Gruul, or Naya, sometimes Mono-Red... ...Fanatic is also an amazing early/mid-game agressor & 2 of it can easily end the game...I have 11 mana dorks, 3 of them is a nice 0/3 blocker with Hexproof(cmc2) & I also have Courser & Xenagos, Zarek + Evolution are also ramp cards, even Kiora at times... ...when I cast Xenagos, or Zarek on turn 3-5, 6 times out of 10 I can cast another planeswalker & 2 times out of the remeaning 3, I can still cast a Fanatic, or a Courser that turn...Clan Defiance is amazing against Mono-Blue, Mono-Black, Orzhov-aggro, Bant-Flash & useful against other types of decks as well... ...usually, it gets strong around turn-6-7, if I get Thoughtseized+removaled, than on turn 7-9, but I can hold out easily most of the time...Jace, Kiora & Courser togeather are amazing defenders, so fast aggro decks are usually not a problem & when I'm up against a control deck, they can't put me down before a huge Defiance, tough could they easily take out Borborygmos, if I couldn't kill them without attacking with him(usually I have 4-5 land in hand when I cast him & a Clan Defiance beforehand may set up the kill)...I wonder how your testing will go... ...when I put this togeather, I was also conserned about the lack of cheap removal, but this deck is like Bant decks they use today (only a couple of removal)... :)
Still not half a work about the actual deck... :)
Thanks!This isn't my FNM deck, I'm just experimenting a lot, because I want to create a new deck-type for standard, that'd dominate all, but this wasn't a serious attempt at that...My RUGWalkers deck however got the upper hand most of the time against every competative deck-type there is now in standard, when I playtested it... ...& all decks I put it up against are likely the best in their type... ...the deck is called Evolution Fanatic.......
It's bigger & it triggeres the Archangel as it enters the battlefield... :)
I'm not your buddy, buddy!
I've made a little change... ...check! ;)
untapping things is for mana most of the time & it can surely boost Clan Defiance & help me cast Borborygmos easily... ...Borborygmos usually ends the game after attacking once, sometimes no attack at all, only play him, discard 2-4 land & win, because if Defiance didn't end the game before that, it sure have weakened the opponent...Niv is also doing massive damage & also let me draw cards, but he needs at least 1 turn & that's too much sometimes... ...besides, dealing massive damage with Borborigmos doesn't cause me to use up my entyre turn, like with Niv...
You'll get no help by posting links without any thought on the deck in question... ...what you do is immature & is speaking of characterlessness... ...go, help yourself!......
Not a bad idea, but what could I possibly take out?
Pretty ill deck you have here... :)It really seems competative but a deck with a fine set of removal would crush it before you could score the win for sure... ...tough 1 or 2 Kalonian Hydra at late-game could turn it over...The compilation is logical, but the rhythm of the deck is off... ...better to make a mill deck Dimir & pack it all up with Devour Flesh & stuff :)Here is my mill deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/devour-library/
I'm being sick so I didn't go to FNM this week... :(Grats, mate! What deck have you used & what opposition have you ran into?.. :)
I've made a Bant Flesh deck where I do use it...
It's like that, because every creature with lifelink counts as seperate sources of life-gain & the "whenever" triggered ability of the Angel triggeres/source...
Are you high on fish?......
Indeed!;)This one is with tomato: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/evolution-fanatic/
