This is one of the first times in Redemption history that mono angels is a legitimate deck (for the most part), so I just wanted to take a census of how many ppl plan to use mono or mostly angels decks, or at least how common do you think they will be?  Thanks

I personally think that Job/angels and JobECs/demons will be pretty popular.

Ahem...a mono-Silver* deck won T2 2P last year...






*Okay, okay, it had Daniel (promo) and Joshua (CoW) but otherwise mono-Silver...

Silver white with Three Nails that can recur Child of Great wisdom and play it pre-block will be virtually unstoppable.

Are pharisees and sadducees that popular this year?
Or did you mean a child is born? 

I meant Child of Great Wisdom, thus the need to play it pre-block. High Priest Ananias is one of the best anti-angel cards in the game.

that's why I said for the most part.  there have been stand-out decks over the years but its never been a big part of the meta

Oh yeah, good point. That is a bit tricky to pull off though...

I'm sorry but what is child of great wisdom?

I'm considering multiple versions: 12 Gate Angels, Angel/Martyr's and mono-Angels.

I think we will see more angels than ever before, but I would be surprised to see a mono-silver deck make it to top cut. Silver just isn't fast enough. I definitely think there will be some very good decks that splash silver; Silver/Purple, BOM/Silver, Silver/white.

With the new Micael, servant angel, FLC, fifth seal, angelic guidance, and gabriel, i think angels are good. they certainly aren't as fast as throne, (i think it's probably impossible to make a deck faster than throne) but they have plenty of speed i think. 

  I don't doubt there will be something faster next year (although that is a little scary to think about) but right now, i don't think there is anything.
