Should add two Aurelia. If you have anything on the board at all I think you could win within that or the next turn. Looks like a lot of fun, might try building something similar to this.

I have considered Aurelia but we dont have any at the moment and Im ok with that. She would be great in some circumstances, but i really prefer {gisela, blade of goldnight}. It's probably because im not an aggressive player.

The only change Im seriously considering right now is {restoration angel} over {vampire nighthawk} in the board. This would give me more value out of {sin collector} and another 'haste' dude to board in against control.

I played a very similar deck to this, just without the reanimator aspect. I ran burn as most of the spells though, obviously to get to the midrange game....I think aggro poses the most serious threat, but  {Divine Reckoning} definitely gets you through that. A plus one from me, gonna re evaluate mine.

I think that is what i do. Resto has a better effect and more likeable board presence than nighthawk.

My main consideration is what do I name on {cavern of souls}. Game one is should always be "demon" however in game two it was supposed to "vampire" but "angel" pushes my {angel of serenity} through which is important.

I have also considered a second cavern in place of {vault of the archangel}. I almost got {rakdos charm}ed to death but that was the only time vault was relevant.

Yea vault is too slow imo. I say drop nighthawks for restos and drop vault for another cavern

With big creatures, including  {Avacyn, Angel of Hope}'s indestructibility effect,  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} and  {Griselbrand}'s lifelink ability, I think the {vault of archangel} should be replaced with a second {cavern of souls}, or maybe {slayers stronghold}.

The stronghold can be a devastating blow with any of the bombs you have!

-3 {vampire nighthawk}
+3 {restoration angel}
-1 {vault of the archangel}
+1 {cavern of souls}

Loving the changes. {Aurelia the war leader} is still on my mind as well as {war leader's helix}, but neither seem better than anything I have right now. The raw power of this deck is amazing. Im not used to playing a deck that doesnt really interact with my opponent. I am forced to win via sheer power and good faith in my draws and play sequence.

Great way to beat control btw. Obviously {sire of insanity} is good, but what really gets there is post board every nonland is game ending by itself. (Board out rites, faithless, etc. bring in creatures so every draw is live).
