No sideboard found.

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

Mostly Direct Damage with some Damage Resilience. I haven't played in a few years, I blew the dust off my cards the other day and started building. This deck hasn't been play tested very much and I'm sure it has a lot of flaws, but its a work in progress. It has won 2/3 games and got me to 76 life against a thallid-saproling deck.

Deck discussion for Angels' Fortune

I wasn't trying to build an expensive deck. Some decks are just built that way :)

Yes, this needs some work. You said you can bear some constructive criticism, so here we go:

* Sunlace:
There is no point in playing something like this if you run red. But I wouldn't add yet another burner either, I would use either Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile to be able to handle creatures with regeneration, indestructible, persist/undying and so on which are very common these days.

* Lava Spike:
Why Lava Spike if you could run more Lightning Helix for example?

* Blessed Reversal:
Should be upgraded to Congregate.

* Proper Burial:
I don't see this doing much with just 9 creatures, 4 of which have a toughness of 1 and none of them being able to come back from the grave.

* Martyrs's Curse:
FINALLY somebody recognizing how powerful this is, especially in multiplayer! However, again, you run only 9 creatures and none of them has recusion. Maybe consider Squee?

* Shower of Sparks:
Doesn't do much. The deck has no card draw, so why go that low in the mana- and power curve? Try Grapeshot instead, it has much more potential. And keep in mind that the opponent's spells count towards storm, too.

* Angel's Grace:
I like this card but I don't think this is a deck that needs it. Consider Platinum Angel instead. Much more expensive of course but you need more creatures anyway and is it is right now, Angel's Grace will either be sitting in your hand unused to just prolong the game one more turn when you are in trouble.

* Serra Angel:
Unfortunately, she is pretty much outdated ... you said this deck is going to be expensive, try Baneslayer Angel instead :)

* Sunglasses of Urza:
As the deck is you don't need those.

* You don't need those dual lands other than Plateau. Did you just add them to show off? Even Taiga and Savannah aren't needed since all colured mana of Privileged Position can be paid in white mana.

* There is no artifact or enchantment removal at all. Since this is a burn deck at heart, I recommend Orim's Thunder. Strongly.

* Chaos Charm:
Should be upgraded to Boros Charm.

* Other cards to consider (mostly newer ones):
- Boros Fury Shield (SO good!)
- Divine Reflection
- Aurelia's Fury
- Spitemare/Boros Reckoner (you can cut some Jade Monoliths if you include these)
- Chandra Ablaze
