Fixed that up so people know what you're talking about for every card, in-case they don't.
I don't really know what to add, I'm a beginner :x

Thanks for the help Legos, I apparently fail at autocard...would love your input.

Stop buying cards until we have finalized your deck.


How many cards is your deck currently?

What is your Budget? Do you have any Format or Legality restrictions? 


I'll list some cards I would run as a playset, and explain why:

4 Wall Of Omens

Many of your Angels are costly, and won't hit the field until late in the game. This creature will help you survive until then - and it draws you cards. It also functions well alongside Emancipation Angel .

4 Ajani's PrideMate

You need a win condition, and this card benefits from all your LifeGain.

4 Journey To Nowhere
4 Oblivion Ring  

 Many of your Angels are costly, and won't hit the field until late in the game. These cards will help you deal with threats until your Angels arrive. You can also reset their targets with  Emancipation Angel .

4 Sejiri Steppe

Most of your Angels (thankfully) have Evasion, but it's still important to protect them (and enable finishing strikes). It also functions well alongside Emancipation Angel .

4 GlimmerPost

GlimmerPost is cute and it gains you life. It also functions well alongside Emancipation Angel .


LifeGain purely for the sake of gaining life is basically useless - it needs to be accomplishing something, like winning via Ajani's PrideMate or Felidar Sovereign . Your current deck needs to do something with the Life its gaining.


I was suprised by the various synergies surrounding   Emancipation Angel and I thought I would spitball the kinda deck I would build, if you wanted a deck with an emphasis on Angels and Life. Although, quite frankly, focussing on one of those things rather than both would likely make your deck stronger.

Spoiler: Show

2 Seraph Sanctuary
4 GlimmerPost
4 Sejiri Steppe
14 Plains

4 Soul Warden
4 Wall Of Omens
4 Ajani's PrideMate
1 SilverBlade Paladin
4  Emancipation Angel
4 BaneSlayer Angel
2 Felidar Sovereign
1 ArchAngel

4 Mind Stone
4 Journey To Nowhere
4 Oblivion Ring  
1 Angelic Destiny  

I also incorporated a handful of the cards you listed as having purchased.

This is something of a Soul Sisters deck - an archetype I strongly encourage you to investigate.

I am mostly going to play casually, sometimes going into a local shop for a tourney.

I actually picked up a Felidar Sovereign for the end game ability

I knew my weakest aspect of said hypothetical deck was the lower end creatures.  I have been using some Gideon's Lawkeeper and Cathedral Sanctifier ...I know they aren't ideal but I like their effects.

I really like the Wall you recomended and the Cat.

I have Oblivion Rings ready to deploy, and I think the Land I selected work best for what I'm trying to do.
