I don't think Maelstrom Archangel is going to give you this focused, fair, midrange feel you're talking about. I was literally mad when they gave the Junk shard the name Abzhan lol, cuz those were my colors) Feels more focused and fair (admittedly I’m a midrange player at heart. Maelstrom Archangel is summoning creatures. The game has changed a lot since you used to play btw, being annoyed about netdecking is now a very vocal, very small minority of people. Used to be the best mono blue commander, has lost his spotlight to ] a bit. I was literally mad when they gave the Junk shard the name Abzhan lol, cuz those were my colors) I guess the original Kalia is similar but I don’t care to be constrained to baneslayers bane tribal and I don’t like that she’s what 2/3? Cascade is hitting at random and it’s indescriminate. I guess for “real commanders” Maelstrom Wanderer is superficially Similar to Maelstrom archangel but I don’t like it’s high cost and it feels generic to me. I had never heard of most of these cards but Jorah seemed extremely powerful. His other deck felt the same but was Jorah the Redeemer. He was using blue obviously but no counter spells. Any idea what his commander might have been? Notably a weakness I saw there was it was tapped out style of play. I can’t remember his commander but I say by turn 4 he was time stretching off of the one Teferi and putting enough counters on them on his extra turns that he went infinite, and he had about 15-20 walkers in play. I had forgotten his name but knew him from back when I played a decade ago, I knew he’s a good player, and I didn’t think he would net deck, so I’m like alright what he going to do here. I played my first IRL commander game in like a decade. It’s easy to tutor up a creature and even recur it but I don’t think it’s easy to pull one back of exile. Notably I don’t think these other cards count as casting the spell wheras the Archangel does, with with piper etc you only get the enters play triggers mot the when cast triggers as you do off the Angel. Mayael, Summoning Trap, then quicksilver amulet, elvish piper, etc. I know there are similarly themed cards, some of which were just in Shards or Zen. Tier 3 deck, among the most fun I had.įailing a non legendary commander house rule which I doubt many would play especially competitively what tricks could you use to “pseudo-commander” it for lack of a better term. But I pulled off the swing numerous times. This card stood out to me as one that supremely rewarded you if you could hit all you colors and it’s balanced because although it’s evasive and out of range of reds Instant burn and some of blacks “Terror”-like “non black” kill spells it’s relatively easy to dispatch especially in that format where Maelstrom Pulse, Oblivion Ring, Terminate, and Path to Exile not to mention Basilisk colored pingers were rampant. I don’t want to say the card got me back into magic but I bought a collection of almost complete sets of the entire Shards block and always loved the themes of multicolor and the direction they took it in in shards. In Shards of Alara block / Zendiakar block I would bring standard decks to FNM builT around it knowing I would lose just because if how fun it was scrambling for WUBRG, and tapping my blood thorn taunter to go at it with the Angel, then casting Emrakul Aeons Torn and Iona / Sphinx of the steel wind for free. Otherwise, the deck's strategy is pretty straightforward - hit opponents with big angels, which can gain haste due to cards like ] or which I can tutor for with ] or ].Is there a format that uses non legendary commanders, because this card always felt legendary?Ĭrazily people use to like playing standard lol. ] is there to help filter mana since most of the deck is white or white/red. The mana base might be a bit odd, because those are all the fetchlands I have. Cards like ] still fit in, because Emrakul has appeared as an angel in the lore, though she isn't an angel as a creature type. Some off theme inclusions are ] because he's just a great value card in the format. I'm looking for advice on whether there are some key 5c cards that I'm missing that I should be playing? As well as any cards that would just work really well in the deck. I've recently been building a ] angel tribal deck since my playgroup has let me use her as a commander.
