Budgetguard 39: Angelfeather Legion

Hey Cardfighters,

Angelfeathers got support in set 4! This brings a lot of opportunities for powerful builds especially the super powered ponies style that is popular. Let's take a step in a different direction focusing on cards that aren't used as much and see what we can do with them.

     This legion is going to be the focus of the deck because it gives you a free unit from the damage zone when you legion. not only that but if you have the right setup you'll bump up its power! The rest of the deck is build to take advantage of the slight toolboxing to get the cards you need into your damage zone.

     This guy is the main power of the deck powering up his specific support cards by +2k for each one of him in the damage. Really important to get him in the damage. You'll hit 22k with a column of Armen support and 2 in the damage which shouldn't be too hard.



Deck List:
Starter: Thermometer Angel
8 Critical
4 Draw
4 Heal
(All Celestial)

G1s:
4 Black Record, Israfil (3.30)
4 Nurse-cap Dalmatian
4 Anesthesia Celestial, Rumael
2 Nursing Celestial, Narelle (1.00)

G2s:
3 Candle Celestial, Sariel (3.25)
4 Surgical Celestial, Batariel
4 Control Celestial, He-el (0.30)

G3s:
4 Accident Celestial, Batarel (0.30)
4 Operation Celestial, Armen (0.20)

G4s:
2 Holy Seraph, Uriel (1.80)
1 Holy Celestial, Mikhael (2.40)

Final Cost:  $34.15

Deck Comments:
    This deck is more of a field advantage and consistent columns deck. The Dalmatian and Rumael provide powerful boosters, Narelle will help you get any cards that you want from your hand into the damage (most likely Armen). For G2s we have mates cause they are mates, more power gaining with Armen support, and Sariel to set up legion really easy or get the desired cards into the damage zone.


Match ups:


    Overall Performance:
         I'll be honest the deck is just okay. Operation celestial Armen is a cute way of making power columns but it isn't nearly as effective as the ponies and also tends to conflict with getting either Batarel or He-el in the damage zone to activate their legion effects.

    Tips for Mastering:

    • Be cautious when using Naraelle since the deck only contains 2 you won't be able to swap anything and everything into your hand.
    • Don't be afraid to go for an early legion. Sometimes you might not have the damage zone set up but having the power and putting triggers back might be more useful than sacrificing a lot of cards just to stride.

    Tips for adding money:
         The best way to add money will be to go with the stride zone. Securing Raphael for the deck gives you a huge power spike which helps to close out games with your power columns or give you a bit more time to set them up. The next option to consider would be going for a more complete celestial deck using the promo legion Malchidael + Asmodel. This would make for a pretty powerful and consistent double legion deck either going for advantage with Batarel or power with Malchidael. There are a lot of ways to build around Batarel since its a utility card using no counterblasts. You could even go the power pony route or end up using her as a back up for Gavrail. I really can't cover all the possibilities given how open Batarel's skills are.
