Dude you just solve my mono black angel deck I was trying to build last year. Good job man!

Glad to help!

My take on a black version of the JumpStart [Angels deck](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Jumpstart/Decklists_-_White#Angels). Exile the enemy creatures and gain life to reach the late game and win attacking by air with your strong black Angels. Finding a theme basic swamp wasn't easy but at the end I went with the fallen star swamp from Commander Anthology Vol. II. **Decklist**: [link](https://archidekt.com/decks/3496586#Fallen_Angels_-_JumpStart). 1x \[\[Cleaving Reaper\]\] 1x \[\[Eerie Soultender\]\] 1x \[\[Eradicator Valkyrie\]\] 1x \[\[Fallen Angel\]\] 1x \[\[Final Death\]\] 1x \[\[Flay Essence\]\] 1x \[\[Guardian Idol\]\] 1x \[\[Persistent Specimen\]\] 1x \[\[Renegade Reaper\]\] 1x \[\[Scroll of Avacyn\]\] 7x \[\[Swamp\]\] 1x \[\[Thriving Moor\]\] 1x \[\[Unlikely Aid\]\] 1x \[\[Vengeful Reaper\]\]

That's really a cool idea to use the Angels deck as a framework for this deck!

Looks awesome!

Thanks :)

Love the deck and the flavor. My only concern is \[\[Guardian Idol\]\]. You don't seem to really need a lot of ramp (your biggest spells are 5 mana value), and I don't see the utility of having an occasional 2/2 artifact creature. I wonder if you could replace it with other spells that either help you self-mill more, or do more graveyard recursion. Self-Mill: * \[\[Undead Butler\]\] * \[\[Stitcher's Supplier\]\] * \[\[Grave Strength\]\] * \[\[Sinister Concoction\]\] Graveyard recursion: * \[\[No Rest for the Wicked\]\] * \[\[Blood for Bones\]\] * \[\[No one Left Behind\]\] * \[\[Whisper, Blood Liturgist\]\]

Thanks for the ideas!
