Tech Spotlight: Emeria Angel in UW Control
June 17, 2010 | Posted by Dee
Shaheen Soorani talks about the 2 Emeria Angels in the sideboard of his first place UW Control list from a recent PTQ:
I thought this guy was amazing against Next Level Bant … it protects planeswalkers, it’s a win condition, it can’t be countered by Negate, it defends against Vengevine more than anything else … literally the best sideboard card against Next Level Bant, but it turns out it’s the best card in the sideboard against almost anything. The mirror boards out a good amount of removal; I board in that creature; if it is not Path’d immediately, no Planeswalker can survive, Luminarch Ascension is permanently protected, and so much more. I have boarded him in every matchup; it begs the question as to why it’s not main deck. Emeria Angel is nuts.
