Hi im daniel ive bein getting into magic threw the games on the xbox ive gotten a few friends into now i want more magic so ive bein looking into the tradeing cards ive bought me a starter deck and ive come to fall in love with angels so i have three decks i want to make on is a red white angel, white angel, and a black angel deck before i countunie with this i suck at spelling so im really sorry if you cant understand sometimes


ok so the red white deck i wanna look for cards that will keep the field clean while i eaither have soliders or goblins attack with the odd angel for later in the game want help decideing what kinda spells and what to use angels and if i should go soilders or goblins  i love the feeling of divine justice with angels thats why i pick them over everthing else so help with that will be greatly aprcatied


the white deck i want to have a angels that have low manna cost with horde of soliders to back it up and stronger angels for later if any of you guys have played the new expansion on the xbox with the aura servants deck i was thinking of puting in Sigil of the Empty Throne enchanment that puts a 4/4 angel on the filed when an aura is cast id like help with find auras to stop my enemy from attacking and spells and angels to boost my soldiers 


with the black and white deck i want it to be devasting with angels as the main force the black to destroy and keep my enemy from even haveing a chance at puting a monster down i had one angel in mind i was think angel of despair 5/5 destroys target permnant when entering the field maybe have black cards that discard my oppents hands

Try the casual decks area of the forums. Also a good way to search up cards by color, cost, name, type or whatever is gatherer.

gatherer.wizards.com if you want to try it out.

The biggest things about a deck for a new player is balancing the card selections

sigil of the empty throne is a fine card when used correctly, however, it is extremely difficult to get the #'s right for a new player between

creatures
auras
lands
other

and also to balance the mana cost of these spells. The thing to keep in mind with that card is that you can use pacifism types of cards to trigger your enchanntment. Aura's by nature are terrible cards because the opponent can automatically 2 for 1 you with a removal spell. So be really picky about which auras you choose. elephant guide types of auras are one way to help improve your chances of getting usefulness out of your aura. rancor has some built in ability to make it better than most auras not to mention that it's very efficient (2 power and trample for 1 mana) while other auras tend not to be quite as efficient.

Angels as a whole are somewhat difficult to build around as a tribe because most of them cost 4 or more mana. I like the idea of a soldier angel deck and those tend to work pretty well because it helps your mana curve out to have small efficient creatures. The next set to be released (gatecrash) will have a R/W angels and soldiers theme to it so look for that in a few months.
Don't be too smart to have fun
