Hello everyone,

Just getting back into the game (retired in 2005) and have been playing for just a few months now.
I have an old oath deck and have added some new cards and was wondering if anyone could please help me tweak it up?

I've looked around on the site a lot and it seems that using aggressive angels is dead, but where i play... i ask people if they play "Classic" and get blank stares and then have to say type 1 so it seems like no one has anything before the set after ravnica (sorry wouldn't know what that is).

Again, any help is really appreciated.  (also, i only have one piece of power...used to play in a 9 prox when i lived at home many moons ago)

If you can use proxies, I'd suggest Vroman's Iona build (or something simaler), as it's the best right now

You probably want 3-4 wastelands in your deck if you're not going the Iona route
