Simple really. Just get a Sigil of the Empty Throne into play, overload the board with enchantments and let the angels do your dirty work for ya. :twisted:

Land Tax (preferably dropped on turn 1) makes sure you get to 5 mana quickly and Enlightened Tutor helps getting you the Sigil of the Empty Throne.
The planeswalkers help by giving life and a few token critters to block with.
Go easy on the Enchantress's Presence as usually, 1 is enough, 2 leaves you with a handfull and 3... Well, 3 is just overdoing it. Oh, and 4? Don't even try that!
The only reason there is 4 in this deck is too make sure you get one.
And yes, there are 8 moxes in there. So if you suffer from Multimox-o-phobia you may have a problem with this deck. :wink:

I would have prefered to keep this deck a single color, but since Mesa Enchantress is not yet part of the card pool, I had to use Enchantress's Presence.
Oh, well. At least the Enchantress's Presence is an enchantment so it gives me an angel when the Sigil is in play.

Now then, go claim that throne!

WHOOPS! Forgot to add the deck file. Sorry.
Here it is now.

Nice

I just added Mesa Enchantress.

By the way, if you're going green already anyway, Concordant Crossroads would fit in very well (cheap, makes you draw cards, and gives your angel tokens haste!).

*notes we made a few decks like this as soon as the cards became available.*

Mmm... Concordant Crossroads is a good idea, I will try that. Thanks.

I gotta say that this deck needs a little work. I tried playing it and having the AI play it several times over. Just about each time, I beat it because it took way too long to get creatures out and the creatures were stomping the snot out of the opponent.

Here's the deck I used against it the most...a simple blue-white sliver deck.
