MTG Salvation

Hi everyone, I'm making my first EDH deck and basically just need ideas for cards to help increase the synergy. Here is what I have so far:

Commander: Radiant, Archangel

So basically the premise of my deck is to generate a swarm of flying creatures that buff my general over the long game, and to later fall back on the more powerful angels.

Creatures:

• 1x Adarkar Valkyrie
  
• 1x Akroma, Angel of Wrath
  
• 1x Archon of Justice
  
• 1x Aven Mindcensor
  
• 1x Baneslayer Angel
  
• 1x Celestial Crusader
  
• 1x Commander Eesha
  
• 1x Emeria Angel
  
• 1x Luminous Angel
  
• 1x Magus of the Moat
  
• 1x Purity
  
• 1x Stonecloaker
  
• 1x Thopter Assembly
  
• 1x Twilight Shepherd
  
• 1x Weathered Wayfarer
  
• 1x Windborn Muse
  
• 1x Yosei, the Morning Star
  

Hopefully these choices are straightforward: all of these are either flying creatures with relevant abilities, flying token generators, or cards that disrupt my opponent/generate card advantage for me in some way.

Additional Token Generation:

• 1x Battle Screech
  
• 1x Elspeth, Knight-Errant
  
• 1x Elspeth Tirel
  
• 1x Luminarch Ascension
  
• 1x Sacred Mesa
  
• 1x Spectral Procession
  
• 1x Storm Herd
  

Buffs, Flying/Protection Enablers:

• 1x Concerted Effort
  
• 1x Marshal's Anthem
  
• 1x Serra Aviary

Mass Removal:

• 1x Austere Command
  
• 1x Day of Judgment
  
• 1x Hallowed Burial
  
• 1x Kirtar's Wrath
  

Spot Removal:

• 1x Condemn
  
• 1x Oblivion Ring
  
• 1x Path to Exile
  
• 1x Prison Term
  
• 1x Reciprocate
  
• 1x Swords to Plowshares
  

Artifact/Enchantment Hate:

• 1x Aura of Silence
  
• 1x Return to Dust
  

I'm still working on the mana base/card draw/ramp/additional disruption. Please provide any input you can. Thanks!

Sunblast Angel
Archon of Justice
Decree of Justice
¿Sun Titan?
Marshal's Anthem
True Conviction

Thanks for the input! I have Archon of Justice and Marshal's Anthem listed already, and I'm wondering if Sun Titan will be able to bring back enough relevant targets? True Conviction could be quite strong, does it have a large impact in games of EDH? Lastly, I've been back and forth on Decree of Justice... since the Cycling plus X cost of the card produces soldiers on the ground. I suppose it could still be quite good though.

Ill name a some that came to my mind

Reya Dawnbringer well, after wrath if she goes unchecked, well...
Voidstone Gargoyle shut down generals and any threat u fear... excelent...
Karmic Guide same with reya, she can give u a strong advantage...
Reveillark can bring u some of ur dudes back and also nice sinergy with Karmic
Iona, Shield of emeria almost shut down 1-2 colored decks... must have...
Blazing Archon allways loved this dude
Exalted Angel well, it can start gaining some life in turn 4 so not bad...
Blinding Angel if it hits, well, thats going to hurt...
Battlegrace Angel another solid creature...
Admonition Angel can remove anything that causes u trouble...
Angel of Salvation its not THAT good, but i really like the flash...
Spirit of the Hearth anther "control" card... really good...
Deathless Angel and Angelic Arbritrer are also quite good... same with Aven Riftwatcher, if u get something to sac creatures then, Aven+Reveiillar+Karmic = infinite life...
Eternal Dragon is a must.
Linvala keeper of silence is AMAZING and easy to cast...
Sunblast Angel can be unexpected...
Glory is another must i think
Glarecaster can protect u from almost everything...

now, leaving the creature department here are some other things to consider...

Quicksilver Amulet ha! Mass Calcify Eiganjo castle Temple of the falste god Emeria, the Sky Ruin Faith Fetters Ancient Tomb Gauntlet of Power Grim Monolith Worn Powerstone Thran Dynamo Sol Ring Darksteel Ignot

Miren, the Moaning Well + Emeria the sky ruin + Yosei, the Morning Sta 9 mana lock =)

if i remember something else ill post

hope it helps!

Thanks for the list! While I'm not in love with all the cards you listed, I will consider the creatures and non-creatures for sure.

Do you find Quicksilver Amulet to be pretty strong? It basically reads "Creatures you control have Flash and can't be countered", which seems good What is a good creature count to make a card like that worthwhile?

I'm also planning to use Planar Portal, have you had any experience with that one? Thanks again.

Here is a rough list I've been messing with. I'm trying to incorporate cards that are powerful and practical:



Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Just curious if anyone else has some feedback. I was wondering if cards like Mother of Runes are still viable (even though she isn't a flier and has limited utility here). Also, how effective are equipments like the swords (for buffing up my general)? I feel like the amount of space is a bit limited here, so swords would be better fit in a more Voltron-esque deck.

Other cards I've been considering, but am unsure about the power level of:

• Inheritance
  
• Mimic Vat
  
• Synod Sanctum
  
• Victory's Herald
  

Just not sure, so I'll probably have to test them out and read previous threads ^^
