Does "x Celestial Archon" mean take it out?

[TreeSmoker]

Yes it does sir/ma'am
Gave you a somewhat decent white weenie.
If you want it even better. Take out battle preist and add fabled hero. Way to good to not have him.

[Ryggrad82]

{Fabled Hero} Can't perform this synergie, "{Setessan Battle Priest}+{Sunbond}+{Ordeal of Heliod}+Attack" = You do the math...

[TreeSmoker]

Then try {fabled hero}+{gift of orzhova}+{eidolon of countless battles}+{phalanx leader} trigger a couple of times. It'll be hard to deal with. You can always take out baleful to run 2 {gift of orzhova} and {2 spear of Heliod}.

{Fabled Hero} Can't perform this synergie, "{Setessan Battle Priest}+{Sunbond}+{Ordeal of Heliod}+Attack" = You do the math...

That'd be a 14/17 vanilla creature.
{Fabled Hero}+{Sunbond}+{Ordeal of Heliod}+attack would be a 15/15 double striker.

Fabled Hero is better.

[Ryggrad82]

Fabled Hero doesn't give 2 life when you cast a spell on it. Sunbod needs life from a source to put counters on and {Setessan Battle Priest} gives you two, so 2 out of 3 counters from {Sunbond} then attack and sac OoH and gain 10 life and 11 counters. Much quicker.

[Ekann1]

I think you'd rather kill them more quickly with less chance of your creature dying. (Deathtouch, etc)

[Ryggrad82]

What would you recommend to get the life boost quickly then?

[Ekann1]

Is there a reason you need it?

[Ryggrad82]

Yeah. I want to be able to sac OoH while only attacking once.

[TreeSmoker]

Gift of orzhova makes your creature fly and gve you life. Fabled hero is double strike. How is ordeal and all of that better?

[Ryggrad82]

It may not be better but it is faster to achieve.
