Smokestack works wonders, when you also have a Crucible of Worlds in play. The deck is a rather standard Stax-deck, which tries to overwhelm the opponent with permanents containing some kind of tax-effects, to hinder him playing his game. In short: I think we need a bit more, safe kill conditions than this sample decklist presents. But, of course, we must remember, that the Factory could come back via Crucible of Worlds – another great card, which we unfortunately don’t have access to. It is a bit light, and we probably can’t afford to go so light. Apart from the misers Mishra’s Factory, it only has three Exalted Angels as kill. This deck leans heavily on Chalice of the Void and Trinisphere to control the stack and Ghostly Prison and Moat to control the board. But also cards like Trinisphere, Ghostly Prison and Suppression Field. The Chalice was followed by other pieces of the prison, namely premodern all-stars like Tangle Wire and Smokestack. It simply won games against a major part of the field playing blue cantrips or red goblins. It protected our Angel from the omnipresent Swords to Plowshares (or, when unmorphed, Lightning Bolt). The most important Stax component in the Legacy deck was Chalice of the Void. I want to build Angel Stax in Premodern! What did AngelStax look like? The closest thing has been White Weenie and monobrown Stax. I haven’t seen anything like Angel Stax in Premodern. But the Angel gave it an edge in some matchups, or, at least, a rather fast way of ending the game.
This was a rather classic take on the Stax archetype with all the flaws and strengths that come with this type of deck. Armageddon together with Crucible of Worlds make opponents cry and Ghostly Prison keep critters at bay. Uh! Do I love those Exalted Angels! Did I mention that?įast mana in the form of Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors and Mox Diamonds speeds the game plan up.
You can find the lists and some discussion on the archetype here.Ī monowhite deck built around stax-components and Exalted Angel. I love the Angel! Just look at it! Beauty and power combined in the best possible way (even though my photo skills are very lacking) But in my view, it has always been a great deck. Back in the early days of Legacy, a quite fantastic deck emerged at one point – the AngelStax.
