Tried to sway from the usual soldier deck to include some equipment and the Geist. Was thinking about {vapor snags} over {feeling of dread}. Ideas?

What about {Phantasmal image}? You could use it to copy {Geist of Saint Traft}....

And you could enhance your planeswalker with Proliferate effects....
{Fuel for the cause}
{Contagion Clasp}
{Inexorable Contagion}

That's an effective play I didn't even consider. Better or worse than {phyrexian metamorph}. ?

{Phantasmal Image} needs less mana, but turns your creature a little fragile, being an Illusion.

By the other hand, {Phyrexian Metamorph} costs 1 extra mana and is an artifact.

I think you should chose based on the pace you want your game to take.

Well, I'm still learning and I'm sure others can come with cool ideas too.

I just thought I'd let you know that this is a bad idea, considering he's legendary and all. ðŸ˜‰

Ah yes. Big duh oh!

{sundial of the infinite} to keep the angels then swing with everything

Sorry, didn't notice that...
But think about proliferation...

Validan · November 30, 2011, 08:29:36 AM

Not sure it's necessary to proliferate with Gideon, at least I haven't found I've even needed the option when playing him, course that's just me...

I like {sunblast angel} with gideon's ability to make opponent attack him. Someone else posted that combo.....for the record.

I am making a u/w all flying deck around {pride of the clouds} {radiant, archangel} and the {Geist of saint traft}. The Geist only produces flyers but my {aven mimeomancer}s will help make him flying as well. Ofcourse that is a casual topic but your deck sparked my interest for ideas.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

{Angelic Destiny}

I actually just picked up 3 of them today for this deck. It makes the Geist a two round killer. Gotta love it!

Prophylaxis · December 04, 2011, 11:20:23 PM

Have you considered {Puresteel Paladin} or do you run too little equipment?

Deeliser10 · December 05, 2011, 12:56:37 AM

I have some equipment in the deck, but most will probably be replaced by {angelic destiny}
