It's just a low-cost critter, there's no banking going on.  The idea is to get as many creatures in play to take advantage of Goldnight Redeemer and Battle Hymn. Do token creatures count for those? I was pretty sure they did, but Now I'm not...

Tested a few hands and it plays alright so far. Lots of critters, plenty of lifegiving, handful of gotcha's. Not tourney or anything, just for fun.

I've been toying with the idea of making a commander deck out of this, since I've got Gisela...

Iffy cards:
All dupes
Tormentor's Trident
Angel's Tomb
Otherworld Atlas
Cloudshift

Thoughts?

[Heavenly Wrath]

Heavenly Wrath 77 cards, 18 sideboard 2 {Seraph Sanctuary} 9 {Mountain} 8 {Plains} 1 {Slayers' Stronghold} 20 lands 1 {Devout Chaplain} 1 {Heirs of Stromkirk} 1 {Angel of Jubilation} 1 {Angelic Wall} 1 {Cathedral Sanctifier} 1 {Havengul Vampire} 1 {Lightning Mauler} 1 {Mad Prophet} 1 {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} 1 {Archangel} 1 {Hound of Griselbrand} 1 {Balefire Dragon} 1 {Seraph of Dawn} 1 {Goldnight Redeemer} 14 creatures 1 {Vessel of Endless Rest} 2 {Cursebreak} 1 {Clock of Omens} 2 {Thunderbolt} 1 {Tormentor's Trident} 1 {Banishing Stroke} 1 {Jayemdae Tome} 1 {Pillar of Flame} 1 {Angel's Tomb} 1 {Demolish} 1 {Thunderous Wrath} 1 {Battle Hymn} 1 {Zealous Strike} 1 {Defang} 1 {Dual Casting} 1 {Elixir of Immortality} 3 {Angel's Mercy} 1 {Otherworld Atlas} 1 {Vanguard's Shield} 1 {Cloudshift} 1 {Vigilante Justice} 25 other spells Sideboard 1 {Voice of the Provinces} 1 {Thraben Sentry} 1 {Millikin} 1 {Champion of the Parish} 1 {Auriok Survivors} 1 {Rhox Faithmender} 1 {Exclusion Ritual} 1 {Attended Knight} 1 {Peace Strider} 1 {Razor Hippogriff} 1 {Traveler's Amulet} 1 {Call to Serve} 1 {Bound in Silence} 1 {Saltblast} 1 {Endure} 1 {Serum Tank} 1 {Vengeance} 1 {Scroll of Avacyn} 18 sideboard cards Notes: I tried to round this out, but it has problems performing. Sideboard has alternate cards for the ones I think are iffy, thread comments for the iffy cards.

Several of these make no sense whatsoever...

For starters: why do you have 3 {Seraph Sanctuary} and a {Scroll of Avacyn} without any angels in the deck?

And why waste your time with {Curse of Misfortunes} when you only have 1 other curse in the deck (and a very conditional one, at that)?

The curse thing I've been debating for a while.  I do need to get more black and blue curse cards, and that particular setup really only works in a larger group anyway - I was thinking swap for Azure Mage and Mind Control.  As for the others, I don't have many colorless lands.  I also have an Angelic Armaments, which gives me a converted angel.  I know that seems like betting the farm, but it's worked several times for me so far.  Keep in mind I haven't played since Ice Age, and a lot has changed. Anything else that doesn't jive?  Thanks for taking the time to look! :)
