👊🏻😇 Punched by an Angel! by user3815099

Deck overview

This mono-white deck focuses on an aggressive Angel tribal strategy led by Giada, Font of Hope. Giada sits in the command zone as an accessible two-mana accelerator that also grows every subsequent Angel with scaling +1/+1 counters. The deck curves efficiently into potent flying threats like Righteous Valkyrie, Resplendent Angel, Archangel of Thune, and Lyra Dawnbringer, quickly compiling overwhelming aerial combat power and massive lifegain buffers. While primarily an aggro-midrange combat deck, it incorporates potent defensive layers and asymmetric disruption. Free and low-cost protection spells such as Flawless Maneuver, Flare of Fortitude, and Teferi's Protection shield the board against sweepers. Meanwhile, hatebears like Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Angel of Jubilation suppress opponent strategies. The deck steadily eliminates the table around Turn 7 through evasive combat damage, occasionally accelerated by lethal finishers like Akroma's Will or unlosable board states via The Book of Exalted Deeds on Mutavault.
