When I dug my collection out of my parents' basement a number of years ago and got back into the game, the only legendary creature I had was Atalya, Samite Master. As an homage, I'm trying my hand at a mono-white EDH build, mostly Angels, with a heavy splash of white trickery and redirection. Though it is a lifegain-ish deck, I'm purposefully leaving out Felidar Sovereign, Test of Endurance, etc.; that seems like a boring and crappy way to win. I would welcome other white trickery/redirection card suggestions, though. Thanks in advance!
Nice interactions:
- Eight-and-a-Half-Tails + Pentarch Paladin
