    I played this matchup once at fnm. Game 3 dude had me on the ropes with a wide board of some big angels but I ripped an untapped 5th land to play galvanic iteration into anger of the gods. It was disgusting
    The lore in that makes it even better

    Angel Tribal is already in Selesnya colors so i always wonder if the extra taplands to add blue are worth it. Here Livalla saved the game once so i guess it is, but are 3 Glasspool Mimics needed/not too many?

    • @azetsu648
      @azetsu648 2 роки тому

      Yeah, I play the Selesnya one and I always wonder the some. For me it looks not to be worth it going blue, I prefer cleaner mana base with more utility like Mutavault and also having the option to play Book. Instead of Linvala there is still Selfless Spirit (in SB)

      I’ve tried a grixis phoenix shell. 3 colors is too inconsistent. Blue red makes it flow better and you’re getting what you need faster. I was using lilliana x2 nicol bolas. Thought seize fatal pushes. But ran too many shock lands so by the time I could do anything I’ve shocked myself half to death.
