Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
There are currently six Angels in Standard
(soon to be seven), and the fact that two of the best ones are R/W
(Razia, and Firemane Angel) led me into those colours. Unfortunately,
Angels start at five-mana and go all the way up to eight (not eleven, as
was previously believed). Since Tribal Wars decks have so few slots to
work with once you meet your creature quota and get your lands figured
out, having a tribe with such high-cost creatures squeezes you even
further. To get the requisite mana, I turned to the mystical
land-fetching nomad, Weathered Wayfarer. The Weathered One is
particularly good at finding Boros Garrisons. Because you have to return
a land to your hand when you play a Garrison, it's much easier to
maintain the Wayfarer's fetching-condition (you must have fewer lands
than your opponent) while still advancing your own game plan. Boros
Signets can also help in this respect.
I've taken this deck to 50-48 record in the West
Division. All the life-gain (Angel of Mercy, Firemane Angel, Lightning
Helix, Faith's Fetters, and Miren, the Moaning Well), combined with a full
set of Ghostly Prisons and Blinding Angels, have helped me pull off a
number of come from behind wins against fast decks (see: Elves, Goblins).
Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion is very nice against decks with a lack of
flying creatures, allowing you to kill in two attacks.
As I said, this is the version I've been playing Online.
It might be worth dipping into Blue for Compulsive Research and Zur's
Weirding, to set up the Firemane Angel / Zur's Weirding “lock.” Once
Coldsnap becomes available, I think I will try out a B/W version of the
deck, with Adarkar Valkyrie and Angel of Despair replacing Firemane Angel
and Razia. You'd lower the curve by one whole mana!
