[EDH][Primer] Giada's Angel Harem

abstractfive Thank you for your comment!
I'm very well aware of that. The fetchlands are too good not to run and Angel of Jubilation is the only card in the deck that turns them off. The odds of them interfering with one another in an actual game environment is low. It's a bit of a non-bo but I'm still willing to run them.

You cant use cards like Flooded Strand and Angel of Jubilation together. You are paying life to activate the effect of the land.

You will still have to pay life or put the card back and are still able to pay the life if you so choose. Your reasoning is correct in that you are not paying life to activate the ability and so Angel of Jubilation will not stop anything.

I have both Sylvan Library and Angel of Jubilation in one of my decks, so does the library's ability bypass the angel's restriction? I presume that it does, since the angel prevents players from paying life to activate abilities, while the library's ability is a triggered ability.
What does everyone else say about this subject? Does Sylvan Library bypass Angel of Jubilation?

When you drop Aurelia's Vindicator as a disguise you're paying 3 generic for a 2/2 non angel, non flying body. Then you flip it up for 4X to target X creatures. So at minimum you're paying 8 mana to disguise and flip to target 1 creature. If you're only looking for a stat line then sure it could beat Gisela, the Broken Blade Meld but most people don't run it for the stats, they run it for the meld ability. The only real difference between the 2 is you're swapping first strike for ward 2. I've only melded Gisela twice and people see it coming a mile away so they use single target removal and prevent the meld from happening.
There have been quite a few 3 drop angels released in the past year so I've been pulling angels that are just bodies. I usually want them to have 1 extra ability. If you compare a 4 drop Aurelia to any of the following it pales in comparison due to the lack of extra abilities.
In the end it comes down to power level. My original list was close to this one and I won a ton of games when Giada was first released. Since then the store's power level has jumped several levels and you won't keep a board state past turn 5. Giada is also a lightning rod for cheap removal so you'll need some form of protection or be prepared to cast her for 8 mana. If you're still able to have good games with a basic angel aggro deck then that's great but if your pod begins the arms race then be prepared to be outclassed.

Another suggestion is for your sideboard. Angel of Jubilation for any decks that want to use life as a cost like Phyrexian Mana, Archangel of Tithes + Authority of the Consuls for aggressive decks, Chancellor of the Annex offers a free counter spell unless they pay 1 additional mana, Giver of Runes protection for a single creature against colorless or whatever color you choose, Disenchant for artifacts and enchantments and finally, Rest in Peace for decks that want to mess with their graveyard such as reanimator decks.

DemonDragonJ on Why Are Most Hatebears so …
10 months ago
A "hatebear" is a permanent, usually a creature, that prevents something from happening or otherwise hinders a certain strategy, with some well-known examples of such cards being Containment Priest, Drannith Magistrate, Collector Ouphe, Hushwing Gryff, Hushbringer, and so forth, and such permanents tend to be rather inexpensive, which I severely dislike, as I feel that cards that can completely shut down certain strategies should be more expensive. I am not bothered by Linvala, Keeper of Silence or Angel of Jubilation, since they have stricter casting costs than the other cards that I mentioned, nor by Ash Zealot, since that creature punishes a player for doing something, but does not outright forbid them from doing so, as do most of the others.
What does everyone else say about this? Why are most hatebears so inexpensive? Should it not cost more mana to utterly ruin a deck's strategy?
