Why did I Buy That Card? #4 Entreat the Angels


The thing about Commander, unless your group is hyper competitive you get to play the more costly cards that usually in other formats you don’t get to cast or play with. So this minimum of 3 but more likely 5 CMC Sorcery is totally playable.

I saw this card in a folder at my FLGS, and thought “mmmm, this might be nice in my Angel deck”. The plan isn’t to go wide with the Angel deck but being able to put a handful of 4/4 Angel tokens out to buy me time is a handy trick to have up my sleeve.

Worst case with this card I’m paying the X X and 3 white, which isn’t the end of the world especially in the mid to late game. Ideally I’m casting it for the miracle cost and getting 3 or more of the tokens out. To help with this I may put Sensei’s Divining Top in the deck. The managing the top 3 cards of the deck and controlling the order means I’m more likely to meet that miracle condition.

So there we have it another piece in the work in progress Angel Tribal Commander deck.
