Description

Standard Black-White angels deck (I don't claim this idea, I first saw it from Hoogland). Resplendent Angelimage, Seraph of the Scalesimage, and Lyra Dawnbringerimage are the core of your strat. Then I also have 2 Shalai, Voice of Plentyimage as she can eat some decks alive and is still vaguely annoying in the event she doesn't win tremendous value.

Tithe Takerimage messes up counter spells and is 2 blockers vs. aggro while Adanto Vanguardimage can sometimes ran away with a game all on it's own vs. control decks that don't mainboard Moment of Cravingimage and in any event you are glad to see it eat exile removal. Currently trying 4 Seekers' Squireimage for the consistency granted by the explore trigger, and honestly having to pass priority on mtga constantly with adanto is frustrating, especially against combo/control decks.

 

Currently running a large removal suite of Mortifyimages, Consecrate // Consumeimages, Vraska's Contemptimages, and some Cry of the Carnariumimages. These are to be fine tuned as the meta settles and to be taken out/replaced/tuned in the side board. Note that Consecrate // Consumeimage is an incredible card, as it is amazing vs. Carnage Tyrantimage, almost always eats the most threatening thing on the board, isn't too bad vs. aggro decks as even if it only kills a 3/X it is worth the life gain (and is equivalent to contempt when eating a 2/X), and in the event you face off against those dreaded creatureless control decks you can cycle it (and usually pretty quickly as it can eat cantrips and Chemister's Insightimages from their graveyard!) Furthermore, the ability to exhile The Eldest Rebornimage targets (namely teferi) as well as Arclight Phoeniximage/Rekindling Phoeniximage from the graveyard is also a worthwhile ability!

Memorial to Follyimage helps to pad threat density and give us something to do with extra mana/dead cards in hand.

 

As with any midrange deck, the biggest inconsistentency is sometimes you can draw the wrong half the deck. Somtimes you draw Adanto Vanguardimage into an intensive course on the History of Benaliaimage vs. control and beat them to death... other times you draw a hand of removal you can't use and just watch them durdle and draw cards till kingdom come. Generally vs. aggro if we draw Lyra Dawnbringerimage or Shalai, Voice of Plentyimage and some incidental life gain via Consecrate // Consumeimage/Vraska's Contemptimage we're fine, but otherwise we can get burned out. The sideboard helps by letting you replace removal with hand hate vs. control and less efficient removal with the excellent but possibly risky-to-maindeck Moment of Cravingimage vs. aggro.

 

Maybeboard shows possible inclusions and their probable number, either in the maindeck or sideboard. Tocatli Honor Guardimage beats up on explore decks real hard and doesn't bother us if we board out Seekers' Squireimage, Orzhov Enforcerimage might be great for a slower more controlly variant, Plaguecrafterimage efficiently eats no-creature teferis, while Profane Procession // Tomb of the Dusk Roseimage/The Eldest Rebornimage could make a more grindy variant, and lastly if Hadana's Climb // Winged Temple of Orazcaimage/Hydroid Krasisimage counters-matter decks become a thing Suncleanserimage might be an interesting two drop, as it blocks like a champ and eats counters (while outright killing a krasis).
