How are you going to get Avacyn out without any ramp?

You know, people keep asking me that, but of all the test games I've done, I'm 10 out of 12. Ramp isn't a problem at all for me so far and I've been able to play avacyn whenever I get her.

Is there something I should do to enhance ramp or should I let it be if I'm not having problems/enjoying it?

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised. I mostly play standard (started modern yesterday online) and games often don't reach 8 turns, and getting to 8 land would probably take even longer. If you want to ramp, you have 2 ways to go: splash green, or go artifact. For green, you would want to sub in some green land (even though you'll never need more than 1 forest, you want to have that forest turn 1 if possible). Then add in some mana dorks and some cards that put land in the field. Some cards from current standard that do this: Birds of Paradise  Avacyn's Pilgrim  Somberwald Sage  Rampant Growth  Farseek  For artifacts, you will want to include: Pristine Talisman  Solumn Simulacrum  Mox Opal  Which is not much of a selection - I have a white artifact angel ramp in modern, but it makes use of several cards not in extended. You can combine approaches, of course. The problem with this, however, is that Emeria will become a lot harder to use. On a side note, if you can get Avacyn our, you can get True Conviction  out, and it will win games for you. Similarly, if you can get some Cavern of Souls or something that lets you generate other colours of mana, you can get the other angels that everyone loves: Sigarda, Host of Herons  and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight  .

Hmm, ill have to look into that. Also, when I get back to the house, ill post my current build I said was doing good. I didn'tremember to update the thread, but I removed a couple things I didn't news and it worked a lot better. I'll post the new deck late tonight after NM. I'll look into the ramps though. Thanks.

I run a nearly identical deck - I posted it in this thread here community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758...Maybe some of the content there would help you out! I changed it a bit since the time of that post, like adding another Angelic Destiny, but it is essentially the same.
