Deck discussion for In excelsis Deo

Serra Avenger is just sick. Nuff said.

I like the gambit in here for the card draw and its ability to fuel LA.

And i've never even heard of remote farm but i'm loving its 2/1 abiility =]

Remote Farm + Luminarch is basically an auto-win =]

I've gotten a turn 1 Farm ---> LA, turn 2 Tezz Gambit (lose life, but on my turn =P), turn 3 another Farm into Martyr of Sands for 15 life and a Serra Ascendant (which is a 6/6 lifelinker)

True. Now that I think of it, would making a land like that not come in tapped really be too good? I think the depletion thing would act as a good balance....

to be honest, i was kinda dissapointed by the inclusion of only 10 angels...
however, this does look like a good deck. hows about mirror entity? or is it all about flavor......
oh, and you wanted me to tell you how the ghave edh is going. well, i commented on your 150 celebration and gave the link, but i dont think you noticed... either that or you just are to busy looking at everyone elses. =P anyhow, here it is again:

idk if you were curious or not about the zendikar angels with the eye halo its because of shame basically because when the eldrazi first showed on zendikar the iona and the other angels failed to stop them and from then on they so were so ashamed they basically didnt want to see the dissapointed faces of the ppl of zendikar that they let down thats the basic jist of it

Was surprised you didn't know this, I knew this years ago from mythology stuff.
A seraph (or plural seraphim) is a 6-winged angel.

Eh, I figured it was, but then why are Archon's not just called Angels too?

Well, archons are leaders of something by definition, and magic puts them as a creature with wings that doesn't appear human, so I guess wizards wanted something with their own twist.

Biblical angels, Arabic angels, and some Byzantine mosaic angels traditionally had 6 wings and quite a few eyes. The seraphim from revelation are beyond description.... They're covered in eyes and are shaped like different animals with lots of wings, etc.
Archons is just a greek word for king, but Wizards wanted a cool creature type, so that was that. Anyway...

See, you'd think I'd know this with my various interests, but I just didn't. I do love what Wizards has done with Archons, and are one of the few "big" creature types I'd be upset to see lower cost versions of =]

Yeah, and they certainly fit that "epic" thing that white has in its slice of pie. They give of the same vibe as cards like WoG. It's great.
