Overview:
A Gisela, Blade of Goldnight damage doubling strategy that aims to amplify damage output while protecting its controller, featuring a mix of angels, damage-based effects, and combat-focused creatures.
Primer:
This deck operates on a damage multiplication strategy, using Gisela, Blade of Goldnight alongside other damage doublers like Dictate of the Twin Gods and Furnace of Rath to create explosive damage scenarios. The primary gameplan involves establishing damage multipliers and then leveraging them through either combat damage or direct damage effects.
The secondary strategy involves an angel tribal subtheme with powerful flying creatures like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Angel of Serenity, providing both offensive pressure and utility. The deck includes various protection pieces and removal options, though it relies heavily on its commander to maximize its damage potential. Ramp elements help cast the relatively expensive spells and creatures, while card draw options help maintain resources.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its high-cost commander and lacks sufficient early game plays. The mana base is quite basic and could benefit from more utility lands and color fixing. The deck is vulnerable to targeted removal and board wipes, particularly before establishing protection pieces. Card draw is limited, which can lead to running out of steam in longer games.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual to focused casual power level, with its primary strategy taking several turns to set up before becoming truly threatening. While it can create explosive turns with its damage doublers, the high mana costs and reliance on combat damage place it firmly in the casual category. It performs better than typical precon decks due to some powerful individual cards and a coherent strategy, but lacks the speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0) but would be stronger than most precons (4.0).
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
