When this guy got spoiled I immediately knew I’d be building him, cool to see a starting point so soon
I love him, but I'm sad he isn't Mardu because a lot of great blood token cards are red 😢
I’m glad he’s not only because I don’t have an Orzhov commander but I have a Mardu commander, so he fits perfect
I absolutely love it. Im gonna build him with liliannas contract and sub griselbrand for shilgengar
A fun card would be Clavileño, first of the blessed. He makes your vampires into demons that make token demons when they die, so you get your angel to become a vampire then a demon. Just a fun idea
Unfortunately doesn't work unless you can also remove the finality counters, as they prevent death triggers.
The background card Agent of the Iron Throne would be great in this! Triggers for each creature and blood you sac!
I love him so much, I built a angel deck and might built a graveyard deck also with less focus on angels besides a few
His art is so good
Thoughts on mana ramp or cost reducers with the high cost angels? Urzas Incubator comes to mind. Mana rocks of course. Anything else?
Inspiring statuary to tap your blood tokens to pay for creatures, or Krark clan ironworks to sac bloods for 2 mana each!
Don't forget about Hex Parasite for the finality counters then some notable angels:
Reya Dawnbreaker
Adarker Valkyrie
For that recursion.
Isn't it possible to make this deck more performing? adding cards like abolisher or the one ring or other mana accelerators?
I don't know if there are any good artifacts in the 99 but Transmutation Font allows you to T, Sacrifice 3 Blood tokens: tutor up an artifact and put it on the battlefield. Good for finding Hex Parasite.
It can help you find Maskwood Nexus, turning all your creatures into Angels.
Not exactly, you need to sacrifice 3 tokens with different names so 3 blood tokens wouldn't work. But transmutation font also makes Clues and Foods. So it can still work as you intended except you'd have to wait two turns for it to have effect. And that's probably too slow in most decks. If your purpose is bringing out Maskwood Nexus then tutoring for it with Enlightened Tutor or any of the black tutors and then casting it for its cost is faster and the same total mana expenditure as Transmutation Font would be.
How does he work in the command zone?
You said it’s a sac outlet in the command zone but I get what you mean lol
@parasite2earth446 oh yeah meant that as you have access to a sac outlet with your commander haha
So, he turns them into vampire, and then I think one of the LCI turns vampires into demons. That's where I immediately want to go with this deck. To tell the angels fall from grace, into becoming a plague of the land, and rising up through the ranks and becoming an upper ranking demon. Will it be strong? Idk, probably a little but nothing too strong. Will I love it? You betcha! New age Vorthos.
Krark clan ironworks
OP keeps saying you can use the ability from the command zone. Can someone fact check this? Or help clarify what they mean?
Sac outlet in the command zone, meaning you have access to a sac outlet. Never said his ability can be used in the command zone
Want to build this just off the artwork alone.
Seriously, its amazing!
Same. And I just built Carmen for this reason. Considering this guy instead of her. But reanimating big dumb creatures isn’t my thing so need to find weird value and synergy plays to be motivated to do so.
