Angelic

Radiant, Serra Archangel card art. Not in the deck but cool.

Some Magic decks construct themselves . . . at least, that's the way it seems. Sometimes Wizards releases a series of cards in standard that scream "build a deck out of me." In the current standard, the Angels tribe is made to shine. Here's the decklist I've been running:

4 Youthful Valkyrie (KHM) 382

4 Starnheim Aspirant (KHM) 380

4 Righteous Valkyrie (KHM) 24

4 Inspiring Overseer (SNC) 18

4 Giada, Font of Hope (SNC) 14

2 Valkyrie Harbinger (KHM) 374

4 Starnheim Unleashed (KHM) 33

2 Elspeth Resplendent (SNC) 11

2 Doomskar (KHM) 9

3 Beaming Defiance (STX) 9

2 Fateful Absence (MID) 18

2 Borrowed Time (MID) 6

23 Plains (JMP) 40

Kaldheim released five impressive angel spells. Streets of New Capenna added three more, forming the core of the deck:

I round it out with four removal or protection spells. Though I've played it only four times so far, a 75% win rate is quite nice.
