Nick Brogerg was selected as our winner of this giveaway. WHOOT! Don't worry there are plenty of giveaways in the future. Thank you to Lucky and Tawny for sponsoring this!
Honestly one of my favourite things about JumboCommander, the very reason I supported you on patron is that you are incredibly enthusiastic and excited about commander and the cards you showcase, it's fun and much more engaging then a lot of other channel. When you get excited about a card, combo or interaction I get excited too! Glad this channel exist as it quickly became my favourite channel about my favourite mtg format.
You have such cool deck ideas man. I'm working on an artifact token deck inspired by one of your videos from a few months back. I remember wishing there was enough cards to make an Investigate/Clue deck last year, and your idea of combining Clues and Treasures inspired me!
I'm really glad you like the deck techs; I just can't help but brew. I made a version of that artifact token deck ... It's really fun. Enjoy tinkering with the build there are a lot of cool ways to make it your own.
I can't wait to finish it, it definitely looks fun. I'm trying to lean into the jankyness and not worry too much about using the most efficient, staple-like cards. I've definitely borrowed some of the great ideas in your video, but you're right. I've already found a bunch of other cards I want to use that won't make me feel like a dirty plagiarizer!
I've been looking for ideas for a Brisela Commander deck since the cards where spoiled. This will probably be the template for my deck. Thank you for the ideas Jumbo Commander, and thanks for all the other content that you make as well.
This is an awesome deck idea that you won't see very often due to the nature of the actual commander being in the 99 (sort of). Super cool Angel deck. Well done.
Love this! I have been slowly working up an angel deck and never considered using Bruna as a commander before, this is a really fun idea. Great video as always Jumbo!
If the ultimate goal is to Meld Brisela, shouldn't tutors for Gisela be a bigger part of the Deck Tech? There are some artifact tutors that could go in this monowhite deck to make sure you get Gisela at some point.
Love this video dude. Deck Seems fun and you have inspired me to build this for our store's Commander League in March. Thanks for all the great videos.
Hark! The herald angels sing! Glory to our newborn....uhh....queen horror angel lady? Yeah that doesn't track that well. But this deck looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I always enjoy watching your deck techs because they get my inner deck brewer excited about new ideas I haven't really considered before. I'll definitely consider this for a mono white commander I would wish to build someday.
Oh yes. Meldmander is sweet. Also, as someone who loves flavor wins, I appreciate that you show nice flavor wins even if they are not optimal. Also I'm glad you mention that they are not optimal for people who prefer value over flavor. I obviously prefer flavor since I run minotaur tribal in modern.
Great video as always! I was thinking of an angel deck (mono white or Avacyn). I was always worried about the high CMC cost of angels. The mana ramp cards you mentioned are great. Keep the content coming!
I have been looking into making an angel commander deck with Kaalia as the commander, but I might just have to go with a Brisela build instead and save Kaalia for something more broken. This looks like a whole lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!!
@Jumbo Commander You really made me think about that armada of angels within theses spire like piles of cards I have divided into my vitrines! ;-) But still I might prefer multicolor reanimate angels. Even though, I will definitely try this out! cheers
Great video as always! While white does have to overcome draw and ramp, it at least does offer a one-sided (hopefully) board wipe like Mass Calcify. That’s still expensive, but you likely want it later in the game to clear a path for your angels. There’s also Crackdown to keep other dangerous creatures tapped down and out of your way.
I'm looking at building this deck as my next Commander, and I had a question about the Angel of Glory's Rise combo at 17:41 - specifically, its interaction with Banisher Priest. Since Banisher Priest exiles 'target creature an opponent controls', then how do you target AoGR using BP? Is there a rules addendum or clarification that I'm missing? :)
The angels are always just very good cards. I know for sure i'm going to use a few in my eventual Brago deck. I especially like that Subjugator Angel, tapping the whole board is an ability i just really enjoy.
I know you said Angel Tribal, but you gotta consider the glorious Void Winnower! Imagine Brisela's ability combined with Void Winnower out at the same time. Your opponents can only cast spells with cmc 5,7,9, and so on. That'd shut down SOOO many decks.
I actually have an angel tribal built with Captain Sisay. I built because I wanted to play Brisela, and I knew ramp and card draw would be easier with green. As always, love the videos and your take on these cards.
@JumboCommander Hey JC, how did the Bruna, the Fading Light come out since all the new angels that have been made? I would love to see what changes you now have made to this deck.
Looks good, thanks for the deck tech, always interesting to watch! I would have added quicksilver amulet for the bigger angles and sun Titan. 4 mana to get any creature in hand on the field seems pretty good to me.
Adding demons to the mix (making an angel and demons themed commander deck with a red, black, white wedge) introduces plenty of opportunity to move cards into your graveyard for resummoning later
My absolute favourite creature, and the focus of my first modern deck (and first deck in general.) WOO! Also, what's up with the flavour text on Sun-blast Angel?
Winding Canyons seens like it’d be a valuable include in this deck, means that all your angels with etb effects (tapping creatures, resurrecting creatures, the various mill combis can be enabled on the opponents turn). Also means you can flash in your commander and get a free rez on your opponents turn, meaning you can get 2 blockers for free on your opponents turn, two blockers + a combat trick/buff/removal, etc. Just makes your deck a little more flexible in spending it’s mana. Also means you can bait the over extension of your opponent and massively slow down their tempo with your ETBs.
Winding Canyons is one of my favorite cards. I cannot believe it isn't played more. It's ... I just can't tell you. It's on the reserved list too. How is that card not $20?
Honestly not sure, having half of a Prophet of Kruphix on a land is really solid, accessible to every deck, and means a lot of commanders with ETBs become a lot stronger cause they can be used on opponents turn. In all honesty, I usually make proxies for cards I don't have when I play EDH (can't afford to buy cards unfortunately), and I'm really surprised the card's price is that low. It's power level is really high, all things considered. Wish it could come off the reserve list, I'd love to see a card like that in Modern.
I'm building something similar to this, but I'm taking a angels and eldrazi focus. There are many of both types with abilities that cripple opponents. Linvala, Void Winnower, Iona, and so on make it hard for opponents to do things. If course, CMC is high, so including every board wipe is a must.
Nice list, I've been working on Karona, False God Angel Tribal, typically I tend to not want to do tribal because tribal themes can feel really limiting, but I gotta say it is actually really fun! Nothing like smacking face with a board of flying nasties~! (Also! I'd like to participate in the giveaway)
This is very cool. Mono white is a hard one, but at least you get access to a lot of defensive answers. On a side note, I'm an entomologist. What do you think are the odds of you entertaining an off-meta Insect Tribal with Xira Arien? I didn't want to just stick with Marirek as the commander and call it a day, and I love the idea of some early off color card drawing advantage. P.S. Thelonite Monk is an insect for our tribal purpose and such an overlooked and fun card.
I have an insect tribal edh deck, it's a blast to play and I've basically built it as Jund Insect-Aristocrats... Insectocrats! Token swarm, attrition, ashnods alter with dictate/grave pact effects, with a birthing pod chain and a little infect. Playing a Hornet queen + coat of arms is pretty sweet, and I've once managed to kill somebody with Bee sting (4 mana sorcery that deals 2 damage...) one of my favourite casual decks to play
I've learned that I apparently like flyers in my command decks, built dragons a couple years ago as my first edh deck and upgraded it recently. Been working on angels and now my playgroup is trying to put clipped wings into their decks that have green, haha.
i have an angel tribal, but it's Boros, with Gissela, Blade of Goldlight, and it's super fun. there isn't much with red, but the warstorm surge and mana barbs really makes it awesome.
i expect to see Urzas Incubator in this decklist :p and umbral mantle.. idk if this one was released yet tho.. and also toss in the Medallion ;) hell, might as well throw in all the tribal artifact and creatures for white! i will be subbing in all those for the more expensive cards in this decktech later today when i start a deck on MTGO... then ill have vampires, werewolves, goblins, saprolings, saprolings, and saprolings ;)
I actually run a bruna angel tribal deck, and it's super fun (if a bit under powered), I run. A few fun humans in the deck too. Odric master tactician and Thalia heretic cathar can help to disrupt your opponents and get your angels through blockers
I was going through my friend's collection one day and I found card called Emancipation Angel, a 3 CMC angel that bounces one of your permanents to your hand on ETB. It got me thinking of Karametra, God of Harvests and how having Karametra as the commander would enable you to ramp into all your expensive angels. With Karametra on board, you could for 1WW, cast E. Angel, rampant growth, bounce E. Angel back to your hand, and repeat. So, yeah, we now have a Karametra, angel tribal deck in our playgroup :)
You did a great job again with your Deckdeck, i really liked it. My 2 cents for Angel tribe deck: In my playgroup someone is playing a mono white Angel Tribe Deck with Avacyn, Angel of Hope as Commander, and it is really annoying anytime she hits the battlefield (espacilly with Worldslayer) and he runs a lot more mana acceleration then Gauntlet of Power and Manarocks. Extraplanar Lens and Caged Sun helping you paying the high casting cost. Mind's Eye is awesome for carddraw and Urza's Incubator can go a long way. And while we are at cards, I think, are missing in your Decklist: Luminarch Ascension is a go to in every Angel deck and Mass Mass Calcify can turn into a one sided boardwipe. It seems odd to me that you talk about shuting your Opponents down with Linvala but don't at least mention Iona. She is another insane Angel in Monowhite slow decks. I play an Angel tribe deck with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight as my commander, Boros seems to be made for a combat centric creature deck and most Angels reach their true potential in combat :)
Like the little combo of Angel of serenity with adakar valkarie and a sac outlet exile all there creatures in graveyards and on the battlefield then protect your graveyard by bouncing things back to your hand also have u considered Armageddon and ravages of war since if u have endless horizons out u pretty easily out run them with
These two cards still give me flashbacks. I went to a camp for a summer, which is how I got into magic, and there was this one kid who stole my entire book of good cards. I one hundred percent knew it was him, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Still pisses me off to this day.
Would u be able to write out a deck list or make a video on a deck list about it cause Im super keen to make the deck but not sure what else to fill it with
i made an angel trible deck long ago and to this day its one of my fave. now i have a few new card to add. but my comander is invinna for 3 basic rasons. 4 mana, art is pretty. she flies. yet her abialty is very impactful. but mislty it was the card art and the mana cost. mind you i have a few cards i could reconmend, if your inclind ot use them. magmus of the moat. Belbe's Portal. Urza's incubator. Extrplanar Lens (use snow cover lands with this card) planar portal cards that just lets you have what you want faster, or offer econamy and or stops folks from attacking you.
Dj, how would you update this deck with some of the newer cards from modern horizons and when it hits lgs', modern 20? I have a Bruna list but am having trouble getting it just right.
Jumbo Commander, Ive currently been working on a mono-white deck with Avacyn, Angel of Hope at the helm, and found your video critical in helping with decision making. My biggest concern is of course mana ramping, as you mentioned. You made an interesting point about how Angel tribal is about (usually) putting down big scary creatures, so the discount from cards like Emissary of War are too slow, as you're ramping from turn 5->7, which is less impactful then earlier ramp and even then youre still dropping one angel, two at best. In my Avacyn deck, I have included cards like Solemn Simulacrum and Burnished Hart to try and remedy this problem, I also have Urza's Incubator, which after watching your video saddens me since it might be too slow and possibly a waste of a couple dollars. How do you feel about these cards as someone who has more experience? This is the first commander deck I am building completely from scratch, so any advice would be appreciated on matters like this.
Burnished Heart and Solemn are GREAT includes! I think Urza's incubator is a solid card it is certainly not bad to have it in your deck. I think you should play your deck and see how it performs against other decks around you. You might not need a super fast deck. OR the table might realize your strategy and not focus on you right away. Commander is kinda self-regulating like that. Use politics to your advantage. "This is my clunky angel tribal deck.", "If you attack me I'll attack you back on turn 7 when I play my first angel" or "So you're focusing on the monowhite deck?!? Bruna is pretty well known as a broken commander right?" BUT most important, play what you have fun playing and I'll help you if your deck isn't working like you want it to.
Jumbo...you want a combo to just RAMP in mono white? Here is a combo just for you Sun Titan Evolving Wilds Ashnod's Altar Emaria Shepherd Basically this is what you need to do to combo it so perfectly Sacrifice Sun Titan to Altar, get 2 mana > Then Crack Evolving Wilds and get a plains > Emaria Shepherd triggers for the plains > Get back Sun Titan > Sun Titan Triggers > Get back Evolving Wilds > Repeat Basically this combo can get you ALL the plains in your deck into play
I have often thought about building sonething for Brisela. It's a bit anti-thematic though to have your glorious flight of Angels be commanded by an Eldrazi clusterfuck...^^
Entirely random but what if you decided to make a change to this and throw in one of the sigarda's as the commander instead and have bruna and gisela in it? Would you think thatd make it any better or worse or just overall more complicated to do?
Nick Brogerg was selected as our winner of this giveaway. WHOOT! Don't worry there are plenty of giveaways in the future. Thank you to Lucky and Tawny for sponsoring this!
DUUUUDE. I've been looking into angel tribal lately, and here you are! Right on time, man.
Honestly one of my favourite things about JumboCommander, the very reason I supported you on patron is that you are incredibly enthusiastic and excited about commander and the cards you showcase, it's fun and much more engaging then a lot of other channel. When you get excited about a card, combo or interaction I get excited too! Glad this channel exist as it quickly became my favourite channel about my favourite mtg format.
This comment has it all .. I got the feels now. Cheers
Jumbo Commander cheers to you too! Thanks again for making great videos.

A buddy of mine had showed interest in turning his 👼 deck into a commander. You have given me (or him) an awesome start to it.
Loved this deck, DJ. Mono white seems like a fun build around, and angels feel good to play. Cheers!
I've been looking for ideas for a Brisela Commander deck since the cards where spoiled. This will probably be the template for my deck. Thank you for the ideas Jumbo Commander, and thanks for all the other content that you make as well.
You're welcome! Cheers
This is an awesome deck idea that you won't see very often due to the nature of the actual commander being in the 99 (sort of). Super cool Angel deck. Well done.
Love this! I have been slowly working up an angel deck and never considered using Bruna as a commander before, this is a really fun idea.
Great video as always Jumbo!
My best friend is building an angel deck, so this video was a great place for ideas. Love them as always!
Now you need to build a demon deck so you can battle your best friend.
If the ultimate goal is to Meld Brisela, shouldn't tutors for Gisela be a bigger part of the Deck Tech? There are some artifact tutors that could go in this monowhite deck to make sure you get Gisela at some point.
For example?
As someone who loves Angels this deck tech made me very happy! Thank you Jumbo!
Love this video dude. Deck Seems fun and you have inspired me to build this for our store's Commander League in March. Thanks for all the great videos.

I have an Avacyn deck ... it's much more competitive than this build but angels are so majestic.
I´m not really on mono white but an army full of Angels seem really sweet. Great video as alwais
Great ideas here, DJ! Lot of great synergy, too! Keep up the kick ass work, good sir!
Thanks!
I waited so long for this, I love it!
I have been looking into making an angel commander deck with Kaalia as the commander, but I might just have to go with a Brisela build instead and save Kaalia for something more broken. This looks like a whole lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!!
@Jumbo Commander
You really made me think about that armada of angels within theses spire like piles of cards I have divided into my vitrines! ;-)
But still I might prefer multicolor reanimate angels.
Even though, I will definitely try this out!
cheers
This is awesome!!! I have been thinking of how to make an Angel Tribal deck and this gives so many ideas!!! Thank you!!!!
This is nice ! Love this deck tech ! Great work Jumbo !
Smashing and not turning sideways... Just great.
Great video as always! While white does have to overcome draw and ramp, it at least does offer a one-sided (hopefully) board wipe like Mass Calcify.

Spot on analysis
I'm looking at building this deck as my next Commander, and I had a question about the Angel of Glory's Rise combo at 17:41 - specifically, its interaction with Banisher Priest. Since Banisher Priest exiles 'target creature an opponent controls', then how do you target AoGR using BP? Is there a rules addendum or clarification that I'm missing? :)
Is it too late to say that banisher priest doesn't work?
I've watched all your videos and love your excitement about all your techs
Thanks for watching them all. I have a tendency to geek out about decks so we're talking about quite the time commitment there. Hats off to you sir!
Jumbo Commander you have inspired some of my decks, like my super group hug Sylvala. And was excited to get a response from you!
Love the way you make a mono white tribal actually seem really good
It is really good ... actually, it's just good, not even the best monowhite tribe .. I guess it's fine ... OK, LISTEN AT LEAST IT IS FLAVORFUL
;P
Love your content. Just finisheed building a Locust God Commander deck using a lot of your suggestions and it's being super fun!
Seems like a lot of fun because angels but maybe not the best deck. Good stuff as always.
Absolutely love angels, and Bruna in particular! (My first commander deck was a Light of Alabaster)
The angels are always just very good cards. I know for sure i'm going to use a few in my eventual Brago deck. I especially like that Subjugator Angel, tapping the whole board is an ability i just really enjoy.
My Brago deck loves Resolute Archangel because who doesn't love returning to 40 life after every combat phase :D
If you like Subjugator Angel, also put a Sunblast Angel to board wipe your opponents every turn. A friend of mine does that, ugh...
I know you said Angel Tribal, but you gotta consider the glorious Void Winnower!
Imagine Brisela's ability combined with Void Winnower out at the same time. Your opponents can only cast spells with cmc 5,7,9, and so on. That'd shut down SOOO many decks.
I'm gonna do this you magnificent bastard
Thats pretty cool
Wanted to see a brisela Deck for a long time, thanks for the inspiration
I actually have an angel tribal built with Captain Sisay. I built because I wanted to play Brisela, and I knew ramp and card draw would be easier with green. As always, love the videos and your take on these cards.
Sisay is a great commander for this strategy ... I bet she gets Brisesla pretty reliably.
@JumboCommander
Hey JC, how did the Bruna, the Fading Light come out since all the new angels that have been made? I would love to see what changes you now have made to this deck.
Angel of Glory's Rise and Bruna combo with: Ashes of the Fallen thematic (and missing).
The art for twilight shepard is incredible! Some of my fav ever id say
Actually i realized that i love the art for nearly all angels lol. Angle of the dire hour and sunblasr angel... Oh boy...
Always love the energy you have in these videos
I save my energy all up ... I'm super boring the rest of the week ... I do it all just for you guys
Looking at all the random Angel cards I've been hoarding over the years this deck looks like a good home for all of them!
great deck as always. Can't wait to see more mono-colored decks
I'm personally working on a monogreen deck, we will see how that goes :)
Props to making a somewhat playable mono white deck. Mono white is so hard to build. Great card selections to make it work!
Looks good, thanks for the deck tech, always interesting to watch! I would have added quicksilver amulet for the bigger angles and sun Titan. 4 mana to get any creature in hand on the field seems pretty good to me.
Keep up the great work, DJ!
Another awesome video. Thanks for the great Commander content!
Cool deck, your brews are really well thought.
18:09 PSA Angel of glory rise does combo with fiend hunter but not Banisher Priest.
Very nice, my man! I’m definitely going to make this deck!
Mono white is real tough but I think you pulled it off as well as you could have here. Nice job.
Adding demons to the mix (making an angel and demons themed commander deck with a red, black, white wedge) introduces plenty of opportunity to move cards into your graveyard for resummoning later
My absolute favourite creature, and the focus of my first modern deck (and first deck in general.) WOO!
Also, what's up with the flavour text on Sun-blast Angel?
Mirrodin lore ... not a big vorthos guy but the look of that angel is so Mirrodin and so epic!
I've had the same commander idea, but let go because of the ramping problems... Thanks for the tips !
Been wondering what to do with all my angels since they rotated out. Great video, thanks for the info!
Winding Canyons seens like it’d be a valuable include in this deck, means that all your angels with etb effects (tapping creatures, resurrecting creatures, the various mill combis can be enabled on the opponents turn). Also means you can flash in your commander and get a free rez on your opponents turn, meaning you can get 2 blockers for free on your opponents turn, two blockers + a combat trick/buff/removal, etc. Just makes your deck a little more flexible in spending it’s mana. Also means you can bait the over extension of your opponent and massively slow down their tempo with your ETBs.
Winding Canyons is one of my favorite cards. I cannot believe it isn't played more. It's ... I just can't tell you. It's on the reserved list too. How is that card not $20?
Honestly not sure, having half of a Prophet of Kruphix on a land is really solid, accessible to every deck, and means a lot of commanders with ETBs become a lot stronger cause they can be used on opponents turn. In all honesty, I usually make proxies for cards I don't have when I play EDH (can't afford to buy cards unfortunately), and I'm really surprised the card's price is that low. It's power level is really high, all things considered. Wish it could come off the reserve list, I'd love to see a card like that in Modern.
Very interesting deck, now I have some ideas on what you do with my From the Vault cards
I'm building something similar to this, but I'm taking a angels and eldrazi focus. There are many of both types with abilities that cripple opponents. Linvala, Void Winnower, Iona, and so on make it hard for opponents to do things. If course, CMC is high, so including every board wipe is a must.
Tribal stuff is my jam. Nice.
I’ve been wanting to build a deck like his for a while now, happy you did it for me :p
Another great video :D
Looking forward to more in the new year!
Nice list, I've been working on Karona, False God Angel Tribal, typically I tend to not want to do tribal because tribal themes can feel really limiting, but I gotta say it is actually really fun! Nothing like smacking face with a board of flying nasties~! (Also! I'd like to participate in the giveaway)
Finally a deck tech about Brisela :)
That endless horizon combo gave me a real chuckle. Would love to see the game where someone actually pulled that off. Cheers.
It is chuckle-worthy ... not game breaking.
This is very cool. Mono white is a hard one, but at least you get access to a lot of defensive answers.
On a side note, I'm an entomologist. What do you think are the odds of you entertaining an off-meta Insect Tribal with Xira Arien? I didn't want to just stick with Marirek as the commander and call it a day, and I love the idea of some early off color card drawing advantage.
P.S. Thelonite Monk is an insect for our tribal purpose and such an overlooked and fun card.
Josh T I love the idea of insect tribal!! Something I've been thinking about as well- needs Swarmyard of course.
I have an insect tribal edh deck, it's a blast to play and I've basically built it as Jund Insect-Aristocrats... Insectocrats!
Token swarm, attrition, ashnods alter with dictate/grave pact effects, with a birthing pod chain and a little infect. Playing a Hornet queen + coat of arms is pretty sweet, and I've once managed to kill somebody with Bee sting (4 mana sorcery that deals 2 damage...) one of my favourite casual decks to play
Hmm. If you ever get your deck listing on Tapped Out, post it and I'll check it out for sure! Sounds pretty solid!
Josh T When I get the time I'll write it up for sure and send you a link
Adam Szandrowski Appreciate it
Angel Tribal ftw! Been working on my own build and this has given me plenty of ideas.
I was working on this same deck! I just needed a way to fill it out, thank you(here is hoping to getting the commander lol)
I've learned that I apparently like flyers in my command decks, built dragons a couple years ago as my first edh deck and upgraded it recently. Been working on angels and now my playgroup is trying to put clipped wings into their decks that have green, haha.
Ive always wanted to build Angel tribal, now this tech gave me ideas so I may just build this
i have an angel tribal, but it's Boros, with Gissela, Blade of Goldlight, and it's super fun. there isn't much with red, but the warstorm surge and mana barbs really makes it awesome.
I think boros angels is really strong too. I tried a version with Archangel Avacyn that I enjoyed.
Great vid! Interesting take on an angels deck.
I started making a Brisela deck and cards like Cintanul Flute and Ring of 3 Wishes seem like good includes to tutor up the other half of Brisela.
i expect to see Urzas Incubator in this decklist :p and umbral mantle.. idk if this one was released yet tho.. and also toss in the Medallion ;) hell, might as well throw in all the tribal artifact and creatures for white! i will be subbing in all those for the more expensive cards in this decktech later today when i start a deck on MTGO... then ill have vampires, werewolves, goblins, saprolings, saprolings, and saprolings ;)
Cool video! Thanks for another sharing of nice deck idea!
I recently got into Magic and EDH and Bruna and Gisela would be great cards to have.
I was thinking of doing a 5 color angel deck, using sigarda, heron's grace w/ arcane adaptation combo
Ooh, cool idea! Do it!
This deck sounds like a ton of fun.
the meld cards were definitely what sold me on eldrich moon and put it up there as one of my fave sets, shame we only got a few.
Thanks for another fun deck tech!
I actually run a bruna angel tribal deck, and it's super fun (if a bit under powered), I run. A few fun humans in the deck too. Odric master tactician and Thalia heretic cathar can help to disrupt your opponents and get your angels through blockers
recently discovered your channel, man. love what you do, great work!
Looks like a fun deck, been meaning to make an Angel commander deck, got some good tips from this one :)
I was going through my friend's collection one day and I found card called Emancipation Angel, a 3 CMC angel that bounces one of your permanents to your hand on ETB. It got me thinking of Karametra, God of Harvests and how having Karametra as the commander would enable you to ramp into all your expensive angels. With Karametra on board, you could for 1WW, cast E. Angel, rampant growth, bounce E. Angel back to your hand, and repeat. So, yeah, we now have a Karametra, angel tribal deck in our playgroup :)
Hail Hydra But they're not angels 😲
Hail Hydra Angels need a god to serve ;)
Sigarda is a really solid angel that fits into that color too. Sounds awesome!
Please make a Ulrich of the Krallenhorde video. Happy new year!!! Love the videos.
I've never been a fan of mono-white, but this deck could potentially convert me to try it
You did a great job again with your Deckdeck, i really liked it.
My 2 cents for Angel tribe deck:
In my playgroup someone is playing a mono white Angel Tribe Deck with Avacyn, Angel of Hope as Commander, and it is really annoying anytime she hits the battlefield (espacilly with Worldslayer) and he runs a lot more mana acceleration then Gauntlet of Power and Manarocks. Extraplanar Lens and Caged Sun helping you paying the high casting cost. Mind's Eye is awesome for carddraw and Urza's Incubator can go a long way.
And while we are at cards, I think, are missing in your Decklist: Luminarch Ascension is a go to in every Angel deck and Mass Mass Calcify can turn into a one sided boardwipe. It seems odd to me that you talk about shuting your Opponents down with Linvala but don't at least mention Iona. She is another insane Angel in Monowhite slow decks.
I play an Angel tribe deck with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight as my commander, Boros seems to be made for a combat centric creature deck and most Angels reach their true potential in combat :)
Like the little combo of Angel of serenity with adakar valkarie and a sac outlet exile all there creatures in graveyards and on the battlefield then protect your graveyard by bouncing things back to your hand also have u considered Armageddon and ravages of war since if u have endless horizons out u pretty easily out run them with
These two cards still give me flashbacks. I went to a camp for a summer, which is how I got into magic, and there was this one kid who stole my entire book of good cards. I one hundred percent knew it was him, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Still pisses me off to this day.
Awesome deck! Love this tribe!
Whats the art/card in the background at 3:22
Would u be able to write out a deck list or make a video on a deck list about it cause Im super keen to make the deck but not sure what else to fill it with
i made an angel trible deck long ago and to this day its one of my fave. now i have a few new card to add. but my comander is invinna for 3 basic rasons. 4 mana, art is pretty. she flies. yet her abialty is very impactful. but mislty it was the card art and the mana cost.
mind you i have a few cards i could reconmend, if your inclind ot use them.
magmus of the moat.
Belbe's Portal.
Urza's incubator.
Extrplanar Lens (use snow cover lands with this card)
planar portal
cards that just lets you have what you want faster, or offer econamy and or stops folks from attacking you.
This seems like the perfect kind of deck for a casual group of edh players!!!
Dj, how would you update this deck with some of the newer cards from modern horizons and when it hits lgs', modern 20? I have a Bruna list but am having trouble getting it just right.
Thankyou for your video, I'm playing a malfegor deck and I want todo know if you could brew a competitive deck around him
Jumbo Commander, Ive currently been working on a mono-white deck with Avacyn, Angel of Hope at the helm, and found your video critical in helping with decision making. My biggest concern is of course mana ramping, as you mentioned. You made an interesting point about how Angel tribal is about (usually) putting down big scary creatures, so the discount from cards like Emissary of War are too slow, as you're ramping from turn 5->7, which is less impactful then earlier ramp and even then youre still dropping one angel, two at best. In my Avacyn deck, I have included cards like Solemn Simulacrum and Burnished Hart to try and remedy this problem, I also have Urza's Incubator, which after watching your video saddens me since it might be too slow and possibly a waste of a couple dollars. How do you feel about these cards as someone who has more experience? This is the first commander deck I am building completely from scratch, so any advice would be appreciated on matters like this.
Burnished Heart and Solemn are GREAT includes! I think Urza's incubator is a solid card it is certainly not bad to have it in your deck. I think you should play your deck and see how it performs against other decks around you. You might not need a super fast deck. OR the table might realize your strategy and not focus on you right away. Commander is kinda self-regulating like that. Use politics to your advantage. "This is my clunky angel tribal deck.", "If you attack me I'll attack you back on turn 7 when I play my first angel" or "So you're focusing on the monowhite deck?!? Bruna is pretty well known as a broken commander right?"
BUT most important, play what you have fun playing and I'll help you if your deck isn't working like you want it to.
Jumbo...you want a combo to just RAMP in mono white? Here is a combo just for you
Sun Titan
Evolving Wilds
Ashnod's Altar
Emaria Shepherd
Basically this is what you need to do to combo it so perfectly
Sacrifice Sun Titan to Altar, get 2 mana
> Then Crack Evolving Wilds and get a plains
> Emaria Shepherd triggers for the plains > Get back Sun Titan
> Sun Titan Triggers > Get back Evolving Wilds > Repeat
Basically this combo can get you ALL the plains in your deck into play
That is a deck you can pull off with mono white. A hard task but done beautifully.
I have often thought about building sonething for Brisela. It's a bit anti-thematic though to have your glorious flight of Angels be commanded by an Eldrazi clusterfuck...^^
John Smith Could be the Flight of Nightmares
Try piece of mind, it is a good way for white to put cards into the yard. Love the video!
Entirely random but what if you decided to make a change to this and throw in one of the sigarda's as the commander instead and have bruna and gisela in it? Would you think thatd make it any better or worse or just overall more complicated to do?
