Not much gaming happening this week due to life events and stuff. Do you want to hear about the diarrhea bug sweeping our dogs at the moment? It has hit Strider particularly badly due to his age I think. But he has started to improve, which I’m relieved about. It means I didn’t get to see Deadpool 2 last night, but Strider comes first every time. So I’m going to fall back on the the ad hoc series I started in the last post as a content filler to at least let you know I’m still alive.

I got Archangel of Tithes the same time as I did the previous card Silverclad Ferocidons. As long suffering readers will remember (that’s assuming you read my MtG ramblings) I’m slowly getting together the cards for an Angel Tribal Commander deck. I can’t remember how I stumbled across this card, but the 4 CMC cost of the card was rather attractive. I liked the abilities as well. Taxing opponents for attacking or blocking me I like. It means they need to leave mana open to do either, and thus potentially slowing them down. If I can give Archangel of Tithes vigilance as well it basically locks things down totally. Being 3/5 means it can’t be lightning bolted away easily. I think for this to not make the Angel deck the cards are going to have to be pretty special.
