Deck Description

For this deck, you can win with several methods, Felidar win condition, Ajani's Pridemate getting super huge, cover the floor with tons of 4/4 flying angels and etc.

If you can survive past the first 3 turns, you should be winning the game. The only worry you will face is burn aggro red deck burning your life down before you can gain enough life.

which one carbonize(Carbonize deals 3 damage to target creature or player. If a creature was dealt damage by carbonize, that creature can't be regenerated this turn. If the creature would be put into a graveyard this turn, remove it from the game instead/ mana cost: 1 mountain 2 colorless) or Lightning bolt(Everyone knows what this)?

survival cache and baneslayer angel belong in this deck, im not a fan of either luminarch ascension or the empty throne. transcendent master is another card to look into, other than that you got a good deck going, everything i said is obviously my personal preference so if i came off a little rude i apologize :P

Haha no worries Spankus. :D The reason why I didn't put survival cache is due to the amount of life gain which is only 4. However, the main point of survival cache is to be able to draw 2 cards which is vital.

I did thought of putting survival cache but can't fit it in. As for walletslayer angel :p the cost of having 2 is high plus I think I have got enough big creatures to win the game.

Actually this deck winning condition revolves around Luminarch Ascension or Empty Throne. The lifegain is just to provide the life to tank damage. Ajani becoming huge is just a bonus. So in a nutshell, this deck can win with Felidar's win condition, Ajani's Pridemate becoming super big, Ajani Goldmare's super huge avatar token or tons of flying 4/4 angels from LA or ET.

i would definitely go with baneslayer or angelic arbiter over the deathless angel, i agree with survival cache, love luminarch not sigil, might as well put martial coup also, lone missionary over angels feather, and condemn or oust over journey to nowhere, just suggestions hope this helped and this might sound stupid but i love my deck with golden glow moth x4 and honor of the pure x4 and swinging with a 1/2 moth on turn 2 people hate that

Hey,
I really like your deck. I think there is nothing to suggest except changing the Deathless Angel for the Baneslayer one. The Baneslayer one requires less mana to play and it even has a lifelink. But Deathless angel is still an awesome card, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on this deck - Baneslayer Angel is really expensive.

I am trying to build an elf deck at the moment. Please, take a look at it, if you have some time, and post some suggestions: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=86354.

Thanks,
Tru
