Technology – The Alpha Build: Avacyn and the Planeshift/Apocalypse

You either die a hero, or live long enough to hate what you’ve done.
IN: Voice of All, Standard Bearer, Aurora Griffin, Star Compass
Standard Bearer is a pretty interesting card. It’s like a one-time use of Mother of Runes, but messes with our opponents far more often. Aurora Griffin has the potential to be another one of Avacyn’s “pet cards”
OUT: Devout Witness, Dust to Dust, Parallax Wave, Maze of Ith
This is what experimental cuts look like. I ended up regretting the Parallax Wave cut since we need ways to deal with creatures and we haven’t gotten our Oblivion Ring effects yet.
Looking ahead to Odyssey, I think it’s time reboot Avacyn’s deck again. Odyssey opens up a couple of new ideas and a way for us to change up our play style so it’s not as dependent on Avacyn being the only win condition.
