![]() We don't need or even want to draw Gaea's Blessing-it's better just hanging out in our deck waiting to be milled! Finding Angel of Suffering The power of the lock is that all we need to do is find an Angel of Suffering. But thanks to Gaea's Blessing, which shuffles our graveyard into our library when it's milled from our deck, an Angel of Suffering should keep us from dying to damage forever. By itself, this can save us for a turn or two before we end up dying to milling out. Angel of Suffering makes it so if we are dealt damage, that damage is prevented, and we instead mill twice that many cards. Thankfully, our deck has a plan for overcoming all of these challenges with the help of Angel Tribal! The Lock First, we have to find Angel of Suffering second, we need to get it on the battlefield and third, we need to protect it because, as a 5/3, it dies to a lot of removal. As such, the challenges of building around the Streets of New Capenba mythic are three-fold. As we talked about in the intro, assuming we're willing to run a couple of copies of Gaea's Blessing in our deck, it's essentially a one-card combo that can lock our opponent out of ever dealing us damage as long as it stays on the battlefield. Against the Odds: Angel of Suffering StaxĪngel of Suffering is a really unique card to build around. Can Angel Stax work in Explorer? How good is the one-card combo of Angel of Suffering? Let's get to the video and find out in today's Against the Odds then, we'll talk more about the deck!Ī quick reminder: if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel. The biggest problem with the plan is that the lock is broken if Angel of Suffering dies, and we're likely to die as well, which means the rest of our deck is mostly dedicated to finding and protecting Angel of Suffering. If we take damage, Angel of Suffering converts it to mill, but when a Gaea's Blessing gets milled, it shuffles our entire graveyard back into our library, which means we can take infinite damage without losing the game. The power of Angel of Suffering is that it's essentially a one-card combo if we put Gaea's Blessing in our deck. Well, this week, I decided to pull rank and build around Angel of Suffering in Explorer in an Angel Stax deck. Angel of Suffering is a card I've wanted to build around for a while, but it keeps just missing on the poll, often coming in second place. ![]() We didn't have an Against the Odds poll last week. Welcome to episode 333 of Against the Odds. ![]()
