Title: Empyrial Arcangel
Post by: Noblellama on July 21, 2015, 12:12:15 PM
How do I sneak some protection onto the {Empyrial Acrhangel}?

Either Indestructability or something?

I know she is shrouded but I want to make sure she stays safe long enough to get {Avacyn, Angel of Hope} out there to seal the deal ;)

{Palisade Giant} is much easier to work with.

Flickering an enchantment, or making it enter without casting, bypasses shroud as well.{Crown of the Ages} doesn't target the creature.

You can "cheat" enchantments onto the board attached to a creature with Shroud if brought in without casting it.  You'd just have to find an enchantment to give the relevant protection you need, then sneak it into play with something like {Zur the Enchanter} or {Sun Titan}.

That is so true, though technically not an answer ;)

Would  {Autumn-Tail, Kitsune Sage} or  {Enchantment Alteration} Or  {Simic Guildmage} Work

This is from Enchantment Alteration
8/1/2005   Only targets the Aura and not either of the things the Aura may be on.


{Eldrazi Monument}?

Add an {eon hub} and no downside!

That flavor text...I wonder, how does one not use minutes and hours?

Edit: now that I think about it, I do that all the time at work. I'm partially responsible for bringing about the end of time.
